Diogo Goncalves was never at his best at Nottingham Forest, but right now he’s playing well with FC Copenhagen. He scored last night in the Champions League, and the season is off to a good start for him.
Goncalves joined the Reds on loan for the next season. He was still relatively inexperienced when he first arrived at the City Ground, and between Aitor Karanka and Martin O’Neill, he only made 10 appearances.

At Forest, Goncalves never contributed to a goal. He was continuously fighting an uphill struggle to win over the two managers, as more qualified candidates were frequently chosen instead.
He was permitted to depart Benfica during the January transfer window after 98 appearances. He scored his first Champions League goal last night as FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray tied 2-2.
His goal last night continues a successful start to the 2023–24 season. He already has six goals in 14 games for the Danish team, and he appears to be in good shape.
In reality, Goncalves has recently been used as a central midfielder. At both Forest and Benfica, he was thought of as a winger, but his position now seems to have changed.
Goncalves is beginning to shine after Forest’s failure.
Going to a different nation and experiencing the Championship may have helped the player develop into a more well-rounded person. However, he won’t have been pleased to spend the entire season in England and play only 10 games.
Goncalves’ biggest task would always be to settle down and play a lot of games. He is now seizing the chance that Copenhagen has presented to him.
Goncalves has a lot of time on his side at the age of 26. He will now want to maintain his strong performance for the Danish team and aid in their Champions League advancement.
