"It's been several years since Anorthosis fans put a flare in my cane and they want me to upset them, what can I do and know, since they like it? But I like it too, of course. Whenever we have an interesting game or a great workout, they want me next to them ", was the first comment of the kind grandmother Fotini.

Asked what Anorthosis means to herself, Ms. Evangelou said in a trembling voice, "Anorthosis is a big part of our lives, something we brought from Famagusta. We didn't bring anything else. Our clothes got old and we threw them away. We had nothing left but the name of Anorthosis. It's a love, a cult reminiscent of Famagusta and we hope to live and play there someday. "

For today's image of Anorthosis in combination with the great return of Timur, the grandmother of the Famagusta team pointed out that she will get along very well with the Georgian coach because… he cuts his eye.

"I predict that we will do very well because Timur has the knowledge of coaching, he understands that our opponent is playing, making his plans and hitting where he needs to. He even makes players, he catches the eye of who is really a player who does not, changes their positions and does not have them permanently in the starting lineup. We hope to win the championship this year. "

Asked to answer for the Anorthosis footballer who stands out, grandmother Fotini was negative since she does not consider anyone better than the other. "Maybe one day we will like one player and the next we will curse him", was her characteristic attack.

Regarding the fan card, Ms. Evangelou told us that she has also created a fan card since, as she underlined, “it is the best thing that could happen in Cypriot football. Those who disagree, let them not enter the stadiums ".

Recalling the previous years, Anorthosis' grandmother stood by the situation prevailing in the field of Cypriot football and money. "Not everyone is loved anymore, they are cliques and there is money and kickbacks in the middle. These did not exist before. And now the players are not playing for the jersey but for the money ".

Closing her interesting interview given to us by her grandmother Fotini Evangelou, she wanted to send her own message to the fans of Anorthosis.

"I want us all to become a fist and there should be no discord in the stadiums and for everyone to come back and get a fan card. They need to understand that the card is not an envelope, it's just to know who the criminals are in the stadiums. I'm also a bit of a hooligan who keeps the torch, but we don't want the quarrels in our stadiums. We want to sit as a family as we used to because I have eight grandchildren who all go to the stadium, as do my children. We all want to be one for the team we love, our Anorthosis, our Famagusta. Anorthosis gave us a lot of joy, such as the great feat in Trabzon and the first Cypriot team to qualify for the Champions League groups. Let everyone remember that. "
