Journalist from Israel at {P}: 'From Difficulties, Beloved Child of the Stands Loizou'

Loizou has greatly contributed to his team's recent victory against Be'er Sheva, scoring the opening goal. In a recent interview with Israeli journalist Jacob Ziv, who writes for sport1.co.il, he revealed many unknown aspects of Loizou's presence at Hapoel Tel Aviv. Ziv initially mentioned that Loizou needed some time to adjust to the new conditions he encountered, as the coach was trying to fit him into the starting eleven alongside Stav Turiel, who plays in the same position. The 25-year-old Israeli attacking midfielder has already scored 9 goals. As the games went on, Loizou became increasingly integrated into the team, and his early goals certainly helped. The fact that all 4 of his goals were scored at home seems to have made him one of the most beloved players in the stands. Hapoel Tel Aviv has 9 wins in 10 home games, creating an incredible statistic. They believe that Loizou has largely contributed to this. Regarding his relationships with teammates, it was mentioned that he has a very good relationship with Doron Leidner, who previously played for Olympiacos Piraeus and speaks Greek. Ziv also emphasized that the coach stated that Loizou is a very good signing and is fully satisfied with his performance. Our compatriot seems to be in very good shape, while both the coach and the fans of the team appear to be fully satisfied with him and his performance.
