Nuno calls on forest players to “enjoy” the pressure to qualify for the Champions League on the last day

Nuno Espereto Santo, Nutingham Forest coach, has invited his players to enjoy the pressure of the Champions League qualification at the last day of the season.

The Midlands team sits in seventh place, as it stands, but it has an opportunity to jump with its opponents in the Premier League and move to fourth by defeating its Chelsea competitors on Sunday.

Enzo Maresca’s Blues is one of the teams that also compete for one of the five European Champions League sites, and will guarantee them a place on the road.

In the worst case, Forrest will play in the state of Europe next to Europe, but she can still play in any of the three competitions.

While the nerves inside the city’s land will be at the highest levels ever against its opponents from the capital, Nuno believes that his players will respond well to pressure.

He said at his press conference before the match, he said: “A normal week for everyone in the approach. Prepare a game as we usually do. Nothing changes.

“One thing we enjoy is preparing for a big match, so why don’t you enjoy it? Everyone is enjoying it here.

“In a game like this, with motivation, you don’t need to worry about it. It already exists.

“The players start to play the game, so the message is to stick to the mission.”

Rumors of Rome Silence

Away from his duties in the forests, Nuno has also been linked to the vacant Rome Post before the summer.

Claudio Ranieri waved goodbye to the club for the second time, and after a great campaign in the Premier League, the Italian giants have identified the former Tottenham president as a possible alternative.

But it is not surprising that Nuno focuses only on Sunday’s conclusion and was not lost at any time to reject rumors.

He said: “Do you really think I will waste time in that?

“A lot to think and prepare, my main focus is to prepare the team, get the best solutions and details for players – nothing else.”
