Olympiakos, the famous Greek club, made an important step in the transfer market when signing 33-year-old goalkeeper Stefan Ortega from Nottingham Forest. This deal took place in the context of the team preparing for an important match with NEC in the Champions League qualifying round.
Stefan Ortega will replace Constantis Tzolakis, who just moved to Hull City. Before joining Nottingham Forest, Ortega made 56 appearances for Manchester City, but most of his playing time took place at Arminia Bielefeld, where he had a total of 220 matches for this team. Last season, Ortega made 28 appearances and kept 7 clean sheets.
Recruiting Ortega not only helps Olympiakos strengthen its defense but also brings confidence to the team before the battle with NEC. Coach Dick Schreuder's team will face NEC on August 4 and 11. If they overcome this opponent, Olympiakos will advance to the group stage of the Champions League, a big goal for the team.
Notably, Olympiakos's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, also owns Nottingham Forest, which creates a special connection between the two clubs. NEC, Olympiakos' opponent, will definitely have a difficult match when they know that the opponent's new goalkeeper has a lot of experience playing in major tournaments.
Before the match with Olympiakos, NEC is also preparing for a friendly match with Sevilla, one of Spain's top teams. This helps them have the necessary preparation before entering the official match in the Champions League.
In this context, Ortega's appearance promises to have a big impact on Olympiakos's playing style, as they need certainty in the wooden frame to deal with upcoming challenges. The upcoming matches will be an opportunity for Ortega to prove his value in his new shirt, and a challenge for NEC in their journey to win tickets to the Champions League group stage.
What happens next
Olympiakos will face NEC on August 4 and 11 in the Champions League qualifying round. If they overcome this opponent, they will advance to the group stage, where participating in Champions League football is a big goal. Meanwhile, NEC is also preparing for a friendly match with Sevilla, which could help them prepare more for the battle with Olympiakos.
