Felipe sent a two-word message to Andrew Omobamidele after his Nottingham Forest debut.
The defender took to Instagram to congratulate the player.
So, what did Felipe say about Forest centre-back Omobamidele during last night’s game? Let’s take a closer look…
What Felipe has said about Omobamidele after Forest win
The experienced defender was left at home for this one as he once again battles with an injury problem.
Last night, whilst Forest were battling tough conditions at Bloomfield Road, Felipe was watching the game from afar.
After Omobamidele had struck first to put Forest in the lead, he reacted on Instagram.
The 34-year-old kept things short and sweet, posting the words ‘great debut’ with the player’s goal showing on a replay in the background.
Omobamidele took his Forest goal with aplomb following some good work from Ryan Yates to set him up.
It ensured that he hit the ground running in a Forest shirt having waited patiently for a chance since arriving in the summer.
Forest won the game 3-2 and now the Reds will travel to Bristol City in the fourth round.
Omobamidele will hope for more game time
It was a very good debut showing from Omobamidele and Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo now has some food for thought.
With Willy Boly and Moussa Niakhate both at the African Cup of Nations, the Reds are light on central defenders.
That could open a few more doors for Omobamidele, with Felipe himself still nursing a mystery injury.
Sofa Score shows how strong Omobamidele was last night. He made nine clearances and also completed 50 of his 58 attempted passes.
At 21, Forest perhaps signed Omobamidele with one eye on the future.
However, there is a case of needs must right now and Omobamidele did his chances of a Premier League shot no harm at all last night.
