Nuno calls the forest players to ‘enjoy’ the pressure of qualifying for the Champions League last day

Nottingham Forest Boss Nuno Espirito Santo urged his players to enjoy the pressure of trying to qualify for the Champions League on the last day of the season.

Midlands, sitting in seventh place, but have the opportunity to skip their opponents in the Premier League and move in the fourth of victory against the Chelsea rival on Sunday.

Blues Enzo Maresca is one of the teams that also fights for one of the five spots of the Champions League to capture, and the victory on the road will guarantee their place.

In the worst case, Forest will play in the Europa Conference League of the next term, but he could still play in any of the three competitions.

While the nerves within the city terrain will be all over, against their opponents from the capital, Nuno believes that his players will respond well to pressure.

Speaking at his press conference before the match, he said, “A normal week for anyone who approaches. Prepare the game as we usually do. Nothing changes.

“One thing we enjoy is preparing for a big game, so why not enjoy? Everyone is enjoying it here.

“In such a game, with motivation you just don’t have to worry about it. It’s already here.

“The players are set on fire to play the game, so the message is to adhere to the task.”

Rum rumors fell apart

Nuno was also associated with an empty Roma by post from his forest duties on the eve of the summer.

Claudio Ranieri greeted the club for the second time, and after the Star campaign in the Premier League, the Italian giants allegedly identified the former boss-tottenham as a potential replacement.

But it is unexpected that Nuno was focused only on Sunday’s final and did not lose time in rejecting the rumors.

He said, “Do you really think I’m going to waste time on it?

“So much that I think and prepare myself, my main focus is a team preparation, get the best solutions and details for players – nothing else.”
