Matz Sels has been a standout player for Nottingham Forest, contributing significantly to the team’s qualification for European football last season. His exceptional performances between the posts earned him a share of the Golden Glove award, an accolade he proudly holds alongside Arsenal’s David Raya. Furthermore, his consistent form has propelled him into the role of Belgium’s first-choice goalkeeper, stepping in admirably in the absence of the usual starter, Thibaut Courtois.
While Courtois may still be seen as Belgium’s top keeper, the opportunity for Sels to showcase his talent has been invaluable. Despite a recent match against Wales where Sels conceded three goals and gave away a penalty, his overall contribution to the squad has been highly regarded. Belgian media provided a mixed assessment of his latest performance, recognizing his potential for growth and improvement.
Nottingham Forest can take comfort in having a reliable goalkeeper in Sels, eliminating the need for seeking alternatives in that position. With the long season ahead and the World Cup on the horizon, Sels will aim to maintain his high level of play, which will undoubtedly benefit Forest in the upcoming season. As he continues to impress both domestically and on the international stage, Sels remains a vital asset to Forest’s aspirations for success.
