Michael Olaitan Earns Rave Reviews In Greece, Spain

Olympiakos attacking midfielder Michael Olaitan made the back pages in Greece following his performance in the 2 - 1 loss to Valencia on Sunday in a pre - season friendly.

Introduced in the second half, the 20 - year - old Nigeria youth international troubled the Spanish defense and assisted in the goal scored by David Fuster in the 86th minute.

He could have nicked a draw for the Greece champions if his headed goal was not disallowed by referee Mateu Lahoz.

After the exhibition match which also doubled as the Trofeo Naranja Estrella Damm, former president of Valencia, Jaime Ortiz was quoted as saying by gazzetta. gr : "Who is he, 81?"

In addition, Jaime Ortiz wanted to know the transfer fee Olympiakos paid for Michael Olaitan and how many years he has been playing in Greece.
