Nuno Espirito Santo expects football in Nottingham Forge in the Champions League to the last day after holding a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Palace ended the match stronger after Morelo eliminated the opening match in the second half of Eberechi Eze from the penalty place in just four minutes and it was unfortunate not to continue and become the fifth side to overcome Forest in the last six competitions.
The amazing Forst season is in a severe danger of fading after demanding only four points from the last five games in the league, but the lot remains in controlling their fate despite being two points outside the first five places with three games.
Chelsea went in fifth place to Forest on the last day of the season on May 25, while it could be a decision in the Champions League. “No one doubts that, it is definitely walking along the way,” Nuno said Sky Sports After the game.
Palace had taken the initiative an hour after a penalty after he sent Far Andy Madley to his screen to review the Nicholas Dominguez challenge to Terik Mitchell in the box, where the ruling quickly reached the right decision.
Forest was fast in her response, as the dust was directed from Morillo in the Nissco Williams shot after four minutes, and put it for visitors to Chis, a winner that could have had only outside the first five places on the goal teams.
But it was the palace that probably looked late although EZE hit the tape and the alternative to Eddie Necitia approached the scoring after a goal was excluded for marginal offside with a small mark on the FA Cup final.
Forest lost her way after Morelo was forced to injury in the knee strings, where she stumbled on the finish line to stay in two points from Chelsea fifth place, which goes to Newcastle in fourth on Sunday.
Palace suffered from a injury hit on their own in the second half, as midfielder Adam Warton launched shortly after the opening match with an ankle problem, which Oliver Glasner hopes not to be very dangerous before this month’s trip to Wembley.
Forest has a good opportunity to return to the ways to win Sunday at home against Leicester, already, live on Sky SportsWith one of Chelsea or Newcastle is also guaranteed to drop points.
See the main moments
The forest still controls its fate
Forest was one of the advanced UEFA Champions League rehabilitation outside the first place in the beginning of April, where they ranked third and 10 points from sixth place after beating Manchester United 1-0.
But the surprise package for this season, which was not safe from landing until the last day of the previous campaign, finds themselves on a disturbing tour that puts their dream of returning to competition in Europe in serious danger after 44 years.
The FA Cup semi -finals last month against Man City may have left some focus away from the league, with successive losses against Aston Villa and Everton in the period before, and it seems that there are remnants after the collapsed nature of that defeat in Wembley.
The forest was not when they were beaten by Princeford on Thursday, and although this was an improvement, he was still struggling to find a shape. With three losses and withdrawal in the last five league matches, Forest exposed the risk of retreating all their hard work.
Nevertheless, there is room for optimism, with favorable games against Leicester already announced and West Ham is struggling, before hosting Chelsea on the last day of the season in a match that can become one time an indicator of the Champions League.
The Forest shape is a source of concern, but their only victory during this disturbing segment came in Tottenham, which occupies a similar position in the table with the next two opponents of the Nuno team. On paper, these are six points they expect to capture.
When looking at Chelsea and Newcastle, at least one of them guarantees dropping points when they play next Sunday, there is a real opportunity to save the two teams by the two teams above the points.
Of course, Forrest will also have to return to winning roads and care for business during the next two games before confronting Chelsea, which is not given.
Nuno expects the first five race to decrease to the wire
President of Nottingham Forest Nuno Espereto Santo to Sky Sports:
“We interacted well from the previous performance and interacted well from the blow of the palace.
“In the first half, we were controlling the game. We created and were dedicated and did not allow the Alace to resist the attack or possession.
“The second half was different. It was a good reaction, but in the end, the shortening of the talented players caused problems.
“They have a very organized shape and with the three players in the foreground, it is dangerous if they have space.
“We have to do our work in the city against Leicester. It will be difficult. No one doubts that, (the Champions League race) is definitely walking all the way!”
The Glasner Glad Glad Cup final did not affect the palace
Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner:
“With disappointment is the wrong word because I was pleased because we tried to win the game. But we missed some opportunities, especially in the end. In some situations that we were somewhat lucky. We got to the bar, and we had an infiltrated goal, three inches or something like that.
“We had some games as we were very effective and then we could win. Today we were not effective enough.
“Everyone was asking me before the match, if the players were focusing and focusing on the league. Or if they were already amazed at Wembley?
“This gives them confidence in the past three weeks of the season.”
Iz: We thought we’ll win it in the end
Eberechi Eze’s Eberechi Eze’s Crystal Palace:
“I thought this (his late opportunity outside the crossbar) was entering. We had some opportunities to win it.
“We thought we would take it in the end, but we will take a point. We are positive, we offer a good performance today.
“We had a little time (after the FA Cup semi -finals). Boys showed a good character to return after this high infection game. To put a performance on this day it was important to us.
“The way I eat pens is how I take them. I always train and learn how to improve.
“Maybe I had to put a little more on it this time. I saw that it was still standing when it stopped, so I had to put enough strength if it would go.
“Every pen is different.” The guards are trying different techniques to save him, so I always adapt, try to learn and understand how to improve the punishment.
“I found what works for me, so I will continue to do this as long as I practice.”
