Four goals in three games: Nottingham Forest fans won't believe form of Lica

By Mathew Nash

Belenenses are currently on a good run of form in Portugal. The Lisbon based side are on a four-game unbeaten streak and are up to sixth in the Primeira Liga.

Nottingham Forest will no doubt be shocked to hear who is leading their current good form.

Belenenses have been thriving with the form of Lica incredibly pertinent.

The former Portuguese international has scored four goals in his last three games for the club. He also bagged an assist against Desportivo Aves at the weekend, in a 5-2 win.

It has been a fine run of form for Lica who was certainly not as effective when he was at Nottingham Forest. Fans at the City Ground were certainly not impressed by the player. Signed from Porto for a reported £300,000 fee, he played just seven times for Forest and contributed nothing.

A loan spell to former club Estoril and similarly disappointing campaign at Granada in Spain soon followed.

But since joining Belenenses he has shown the sort of form and performance that won him an international cap for Portugal against Brazil back in 2013.

Nottingham Forest currently have a few new Portuguese stars who have had a decidedly bigger impact than Lica, even if their form has recently dipped.

Hopefully, both go on to be far more memorable than the Belensenses star.
