Brazilian Midfielder Reflects on His Time at Forest
Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos has opened up about his loan spell at Nottingham Forest, revealing that the experience did not meet his expectations. In a candid interview with Globo, Santos expressed his initial anticipation of getting regular playing time, which ultimately did not materialize.
“I was always ready, always well, but it was the coach’s choice,” Santos stated, acknowledging that despite his eagerness to play, the decision for his lack of game time rested with the team’s manager. He emphasized his respect for the coach’s decisions and confirmed his return to his parent club, Chelsea.
According to Globo, Santos had hoped to make a significant impact at Forest but found opportunities limited. The young midfielder’s stint at the club was marked by a struggle for minutes on the pitch, leading to an early termination of his loan.
Santos’s comments reflect the often unpredictable nature of loan deals, where players may find themselves at the mercy of the coaching staff’s tactical choices and squad rotation policies. With his return to Chelsea, Santos will be looking to reset and prove his worth back at his London club.
