Nuno Espirito Santo stays focused as Nottingham Forest faces Liverpool amid title race hype
Nottingham: Nuno Espirito Santo is keeping his cool about the title race. He didn’t bite when asked if Nottingham Forest is a real contender or if Arne Slot was trying to play mind games.
He acknowledged that Liverpool sees Forest as a rival, especially since they’re just six points off the top. Slot praised Santo, noting that Forest’s earlier win at Anfield doesn’t seem so shocking anymore.
Despite the buzz, Santo is sticking to his game plan. He said, “We never change.” He believes in focusing on daily tasks and treating every match seriously.
On the title race, he emphasized that their approach remains the same. “We know what we can do,” he said, stressing the importance of teamwork and preparation.
When asked about Slot’s compliments, Santo shrugged it off. “I don’t know,” he said, adding that they try to ignore outside noise. Too much praise can be distracting, and he’s focused on the upcoming game.
He reminded everyone that while surprises happen, they’re ready for whatever comes next. “It’s a new game,” he concluded, looking ahead with confidence.
