Brobbey didn’t know exactly how long it had been since his last goal, but he was very happy to be on the scoresheet again. "It felt great. The fans were very important to me. They have always supported me and still do. I knew I had to strike the ball cleanly. Branco van den Boomen told me to shoot high, so that’s what I did."
Double assist
In addition to his relieving goal, the striker also made an impact with two assists. Brobbey thought his play leading to Kenneth Taylor’s goal was the best of the two. "The one with Kenneth was the nicest. For the first assist, I received the ball from Jorrel Hato, turned well away from my opponent, and then saw Bertrand Traoré in the corner of my eye. I passed the ball to him, and he scored. The second started with Kian Fitz-Jim, who passed to me. I then played it to Taylor, he returned it to me, and I gave it back to him with a backheel."
Difficult period
At the beginning of the match, Brobbey had an opportunity to score but didn’t manage to. "The lads tried to encourage me because, of course, it’s frustrating when you miss chances. I felt good in this match. As a striker, you always want to score, and when that doesn’t happen, it weighs on you. It was a tough period for me. Everyone helped me through it, the coaches and my teammates. It’s a really good group; we are close, have a strong bond, and can have a laugh together."
"Today’s match went well. I’m looking forward to continuing this way in the coming weeks. Hopefully, we keep winning our matches and playing as we are now. I’m going to recover calmly now, maybe with an ice bath soon," the striker concluded.
