Pereira Ignites Forest Spirit: Confidence Returns
20 Feb
Summary
- New manager Vitor Pereira has instilled renewed confidence and spirit.
- The team achieved a significant 3-0 victory in Pereira's first match.
- Players feel the return of the winning mentality from the previous season.
Vitor Pereira has swiftly restored spirit and confidence at Nottingham Forest, according to defender Murillo. The Brazilian centre-back highlighted the positive impact of Pereira, the team's fourth manager this season, noting an immediate return of the togetherness previously enjoyed under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Pereira's debut match saw a dramatic on-pitch improvement, resulting in an emphatic 3-0 win against Fenerbahce in their Europa League play-off first leg. Murillo expressed that the manager's confidence has been effectively passed to the players, suggesting the return of a winning spirit. This early success is viewed as a "light at the end of the tunnel" for the team.
Despite facing a challenging Premier League fixture against Liverpool on Sunday, Forest is determined to implement Pereira's ideas to climb the table. Murillo acknowledged the difficulties of adapting to multiple managerial changes but stressed the importance of believing in Pereira's vision to overcome their current struggles and move away from the bottom three.
