Marked for Max Meyer

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match20 Jan 2027

The small margins put APOEL out

Out, 2‑2 to PAEEK, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match25 Jan 2027

APOEL refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 42 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Both of them Max Meyer's — 8.45

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.45, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Oliver Zelenika wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Market25 Jan 2027

APOEL turn down Kalamata for Dimitris Diamantakos

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match23 Jan 2027

Whatever happens, APOEL do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Pieros Sotiriou signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pieros Sotiriou commits to APOEL for another 2 years.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Daniel Mancini

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A row about effort at APOEL

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Konstantinos Laifis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match9 Jan 2027

Max Meyer leads the rout of Apollon

6‑2, and Max Meyer took the headlines on an afternoon when everything APOEL tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market11 Jan 2027

Konstantinos Laifis turns Olympiakos Nicosia down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market11 Jan 2027

Henrique Dourado puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APOEL, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Both of them Dálcio's — 8.33

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.33, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market11 Jan 2027

APOEL turn down Aris for Gabriel Maioli

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match9 Jan 2027

APOEL cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Vintage Kostas Stafylidis — 8.34

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.34, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Nanu pulls a muscle — 17 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 17 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match28 Dec 2026

APOEL up to position 2

32 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

A defender's goal wins it for APOEL — 7.96

1 for Joan Sastre, marked 7.96, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match26 Dec 2026

Nobody wants to play APOEL right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Marquinhos in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at APOEL this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 Dec 2026

The step up is real for Predrag Đorđević

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Words at APOEL training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Konstantinos Laifis is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Henrique Dourado is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 37 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Match26 Dec 2026

Max Meyer sends APOEL past Omonoia Aradippou

It finished 2‑1, and it was Max Meyer’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to APOEL.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Daniel Mancini runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

  • Match Max Meyer at the heart of a fast APOEL start
  • Player ratings A masterclass from Max Meyer
  • Boardroom 123% of the income goes out in wages at APOEL

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APOEL, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Luka Stojković turns down APOEL

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Dinamo Zagreb keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

APOEL rebuffed over Joy-Lance Mickels

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sabah have kept their man, and APOEL go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Too dear: APOEL walk away from Giorgos Malekkidis

$230.0K was the most the club would pay and Apollon were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at APOEL training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aitor Córdoba is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match29 Aug 2026

Max Meyer the difference as APOEL beat Paralimni

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Max Meyer. 2‑0 against Paralimni, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Both jobs done by Álvaro Carrillo — 6.92

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 10 actions, 6.92, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Marquinhos was the difference for APOEL

Marked 7.91. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad31 Aug 2026

APOEL are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief

  • The dugout APOEL pick somebody else ahead of André Anderson
  • Player ratings Dálcio keeps on missing
