When asked about his time at City so far, Ortega shared the secret to his success: training. He said, “It’s all about the training. When I don’t play much, I have to improve in the normal routine, which is training in the week. When I prepare everything in the week, I feel ready for the game, whether it’s a training game or a cup game.”
But it’s not just Ortega’s training regime that has set him apart; it’s also the friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the club. He shared, “Everyone at this club is really friendly and wants to help you, so it’s easy to settle in.”
Ortega’s impressive performance helped Manchester City secure a thrilling 1-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Arsenal last Friday. This victory sets the stage for a highly anticipated Premier League match between the two teams in two weeks’ time. However, Ortega knows that the league game will be a completely different type of challenge.

In conclusion, Stefan Ortega is proving to be a valuable asset for Manchester City and is quickly becoming a fan favorite with his exceptional training habits and friendly demeanor. Keep an eye out for this rising star in the goalkeeping world.
