The Anorthosis Chronicle
Match3 Oct 2026
The wait goes on for Anorthosis
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Match3 Oct 2026
The goals have deserted Anorthosis
4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Anorthosis can tell you which week it ends in.

Tempers go at Anorthosis
Clifford Aboagye was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Nobody could get near Alessio da Cruz
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Jacob Karlstrøm falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

AEL take the points off Anorthosis
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Boardroom5 Oct 2026
133% of the income goes out in wages at Anorthosis
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Christos Sielis gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

8 new faces, and Anorthosis are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
