Orbelín Pineda has had a season to forget in Spain, after receive practically no opportunity with Celta de Vigo. That is why the Mexican would seek a change of scenery, but with the desire to continue playing in Europe. And his savior could be Matías Almeyda, who days ago began his journey as coach of AEK Athens.
According to information released by the journalist Gibrán Araige, the Mexican attacker has already had his first contact with the Greek group. He knows Almeyda and vice versa, since both coincided in their stage with Chivas de Guadalajara.
Sounds like a viable move for both sides. The “Pelado” would have one of his trusted players and Pineda could once again enjoy more opportunities and playing minutes, in turn achieving the goal of staying in Europe.
With the Qatar World Cup 2022 in just a few months, Orbelín Pineda’s goal should be to get back into the rhythm of the game so as not to stop being considered by Gerardo “Tata” Martino. Certainly Celta does not seem to be the ideal option.
Therefore, Greece can smile at Orbelin. We’ll see if the reunion finally happens.
