Fenerbahçe SK vs Nottingham Forest Europa League — Nottingham Forest head coach Vítor Pereira delivers a powerful message after a statement victory in his first game in charge.
Pereira made it clear the win belonged to the players and the supporters, not the manager. After just three days with the squad, he praised their mentality, confidence, and bravery in one of the most intense atmospheres in European football. He emphasized that the difference was not tactical, but mental — demanding courage from the first minute and insisting his team send a message immediately.
The Forest boss highlighted Murillo’s standout return from injury, calling him a brave, ball-playing defender, while also stressing the importance of squad rotation and managing yellow cards ahead of a demanding schedule.
Despite the impressive performance, Pereira warned that the tie is only at half-time. With the second leg ahead and Liverpool next on the fixture list, he underlined the need for consistency, identity, and mental strength as Forest aim to build momentum in both Europe and the Premier League.
Has Nottingham Forest found a new identity under Vítor Pereira?
