Carlos Forbs on Portugal debut v Armenia, warns Sporting... | OneFootball

Carlos Forbs made his official debut for the National Team last Sunday, November 16th, in a match that ended with a 9-1 victory for Portugal against Armenia, along with the team's qualification for the World Cup. At the end of the match, the former Sporting player expressed his satisfaction and also discussed the duel against the lions.

"It's a special day that I will never forget. In the penalty incident involving me, I knew it would be Bruno [Fernandes] taking the shot, he was one goal away from a hat-trick, which he managed to achieve. It would never be me," the player began to say.

Next, Forbs responded to the fact that he wore the 'number 7' jersey in his debut, only possible due to the expulsion that removed Cristiano Ronaldo from the match: "We know that [the number seven] is a significant number, it's Cristiano Ronaldo's number, but I stepped onto the field focused only on doing my job. I didn't have time to think about anything else."

"It was a surprise for me and my family, and I was very happy when I received the news. Everything happened very quickly for me, but it was an incredible week, and I loved being part of this family. Now it's about continuing to work, step by step, and we'll see [if I can make it to World Cup 2026]," emphasized Carlos Forbs about being called to the National Team, also stating that "Portugal is, without a doubt, always a favorite in a football World Cup."
