Young watfordfc goalkeeper gives a glimpse into life as an Academy scholar
“And the biggest difference between being an Academy scholar and being a full-time professional player is the educational element of your time.
“The BTEC in sport also correlates with the football side of things as well, which is really useful.” “Sometimes, if I’m working with the first team or the Under-21s and there’s a game on Monday, then I’ll be in on Sunday as well.” “The main bulk of my time when I’m with the first team is spent with the goalkeepers and the goalkeeping coaches, but then I’ll also go in goal if there is a session of shooting practice.Ortelli spent a lot of time with Watford number one Dan Bachmann, and speaks very highly of the Austrian international.
“You can tell the difference when a senior player hits a ball at you, but once you’ve done a couple of sessions you get used to it. There is even a difference when you start going up against the Under-21s to be honest. “I knew I had to fight for game time as that is the only true way to improve or establish yourself. Training takes you so far, but it’s the games that count.
“Even though I played in it, I didn’t realise how manic that game actually was until I watched it back. That’s what led to the high scoreline. Another highlight was being between the posts for all three of Watford’s games in the FA Youth Cup, including the 4-2 defeat to Arsenal at Vicarage Road where Watford led 2-0 inside the opening 15 minutes.
