Ex-Flying Eagles midfielder, Michael Olaitan, has said he will adapt to the Dutch system of football after his goal-scoring debut for FC Twente in a 1-1 draw with Schalke 04.
“Everything was new for me and now I have to get used to the system in the Netherlands. But the trainer has helped me,” africanFootball.com quoted Olaitan as saying on Twente website.
“It was a good game (vs Schalke), which helps us prepare for the start of the season.
“We have achieved a good result against a big team, but we have to keep working hard.”
Olaitan maintained his lucky jersey number 99.
“Three years ago there was a famous player at my club Veria FC who wore this number. He decided to stop, and then became a director. When I told him I would wear his number and would break his goal record, he thought I want to bring pressure on myself, but I succeeded. Since then it has been my lucky number,” he explained.
Olaitan has now returned to Greece to sort out all the paper work concerning his loan move to Holland.
