Carlos Forbs made the move from Manchester City to Ajax this past summer. The winger now feels completely at home in Amsterdam and was crucial for his team in the matches against Olympique Marseille and RKC with a goal and two assists. The player from Portugal hopes to contribute again on Thursday against AEK Athens. "I feel a lot of confidence and will be ready again on Thursday."
Ajax visited RKC on Saturday night. However, the Ajax players were not able to complete the game in Waalwijk. Indeed, the away match in Brabant was stopped just before the end of regular playing time because of a serious medical situation surrounding RKC goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen. Maurice Steijn's side were leading 2-3 at the time thanks to goals from Brian Brobbey, Steven Bergwijn and Steven Berghuis.
The first match of the UEFA Europa League group stage ended in a draw on Thursday night. The final score in the Johan Cruijff ArenA against Olympique Marseille was 3-3. After the match, the Ajax players were left disappointed, since they first led 2-0 and later on 3-2.
The fact that 'Forbs' can call himself an official Ajax player is a dream come true. The Portuguese was in his home country when Ajax showed interest and when he first heard the plan the club had for him. "Then I thought: this is the right move for me."
