Aris's Open Approach Proves Difficult in Derby Defeat

Aris suffered a defeat in the derby against Omonia, with coach Artsiom Radzkov expressing his disappointment. The team has shown an inconsistent performance this season, prompting Radzkov to experiment with various changes in personnel, formation, and tactics. In the match against Omonia, Radzkov opted for an open approach, aiming to exploit his team's speed. However, Omonia managed to capitalize on Aris's defensive vulnerabilities and score five goals. Despite possessing the league's best attacking line, Aris concedes goals easily due to its offensive tactics, which leave gaps in the defense. Radzkov took responsibility for choosing the open approach, considering it a risk that did not pay off.
