He is widely recognised for his blinding pace and outstanding ability from dead ball situations, but most of all for his incredible dribbling ability. At his prime he was one of the best dribblers in the world.

Along with his skills, Ortega is infamously temperamental. During the 1998 World Cup, in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands, Ortega received a red card for headbutting Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar after van der Sar confronted him after a controversial situation where some people claim a play-acting attempt to draw a penalty[1], while others suggest the referee should have called the foul. Shortly after Ortega's sending off, Dennis Bergkamp scored the winning goal to make it 2-1, eliminating Argentina.

Dennis Nicolaas Maria Bergkamp (born May 10, 1969 in Amsterdam) is a retired Dutch professional footballer. ...

Due to his volatility, Ortega never remained at one club for an extended period of time. After he resigned his contract with Fenerbahçe on 2003, he was suspended by the FIFA, and not allowed to step on a football field for about one year and a half. While he was trying to deal with the situation he asked many times about the possibility of playing for free in River Plate. However, his petition was denied, and in 2004, when he finally could come back to football, he went to Newell's Old Boys, as he was called by his friend Américo Gallego, who at that time was Newell's' coach. Together, they won the Apertura 2004. Club AtlÃ©tico Newells Old Boys is a popular football team from Rosario, Argentina, founded in 1903. ... AmÃ©rico RubÃ©n El Tolo Gallego (born 25 April 1955) is an Argentinian soccer coach and former player. ... The 2004-05 Argentine First Division season saw Newells Old Boys get away with the Apertura title after a fierce battle against VÃ©lez SÃ¡rsfield for the supremacy. ...

On June 2006 he went back to his first team River Plate, where he played for about half of the Apertura 2006 ^[1] , and then he stopped to start a treatment against alcoholism. On January 2007, during River's pre-season in Mar del Plata, and one day after playing an excellent game in which he even scored, he surprised everyone with another alcoholic episode, after which River Plate's doctors suggested to the coach that Ortega should go back to Buenos Aires to enforce the treatment against his problem. Club AtlÃ©tico River Plate, known also as River Plate or simply River, is an Argentine sports club best known for its football team, established in 1901. ... Alcoholism is the consumption of, or preoccupation with, alcoholic beverages to the extent that this behavior interferes with the drinkers normal personal, family, social, or work life, and may lead to physical or mental harm. ...

Coach and father figure Daniel Passarella brought back Ortega stating he was ready for a comeback. On the March 15, 2007 Copa Libertadores match against Liga de Quito, Ortega formed part of River's bench but not having a chance to come in. However 3 days later, in a league match versus Quilmes, he came in the second half to help break the opposing teams defense in a tight 0-0 up to that point. Ortega would score a controversial goal with his hand on the 48th minute to give River the victory and a great personal comeback.
