Schreuder praised Tadic's professionalism, stating that the player's ability to complete 90 minutes after a three-month layoff says everything about his professionalism as a player. The NEC trainer expressed his lack of concern for the criticism surrounding Tadic, saying that he does not pay attention to what is written about the situation.

Tadic's return to action comes ahead of NEC's return match against Olympiakos. The match will be a test of Tadic's fitness and his ability to perform at a high level after a prolonged period of inactivity.
