Last January, Olympic took out of his coffers the… not inconsiderable amount of 3 million euros to make him his own Gelson Martins from Monaco. A footballer with a rich CV, transfers that have exceeded €50 million in total and appearances in leagues such as Portuguese (Sporting Lisbon), Spanish (Atletico Madrid) and French. As of course with 21 matches with her national team Portugal.
Undoubtedly, its quality is immense and its elements hard to find. Winger who has the dribbling, one-on-one and puck in the area. Elements that you don’t find easily these days! He is one of the best midfielders in the “red and white” roster, he has shown it at intervals in the second half of the season, but he also had the misfortune of being “hit” by two muscle injuries.
Although he has been in Greece for six months and Olympic, the 29-year-old is enjoying his presence in the “red and whites”. He shows it every moment, he doesn’t create the slightest problem and he was one of the… first to enter the grass of the “OPAP Arena” to celebrate the European championship, even though he was cut from the relevant list and did not have the right to participate. He has bonded with his teammates and sees the new season as a prime opportunity. Why; Because he wants to return to the people of Piraeus and to the administration the support towards him, even in the difficult moments of the injuries.
He knows that a large sum was spent on him and wants to reward the club. That is why the Portuguese midfielder is waiting for the preparation. He wants to train properly, put behind him any problems that plagued him and show the best version of himself. His desire to do big things in the red and white jersey is a given and his motivation is huge ahead of the new season. He wants to star and has the potential to do so, both in Greece and in Europe.
THE Gelson Martins is the secret weapon of Jose Luis Mendiliber and Piraeus for next year…
