Morgan Gibbs-White has praised Nottingham Forest for their composure and authority on the pitch, as momentum continues to build under head coach Vitor Pereira.
Following an impressive performance, Gibbs-White pointed to the tactical clarity and intensity instilled by Pereira as key drivers behind the team’s recent run.
As Forest pressed forward and dictated phases of play, their confidence was evident throughout the contest.
“He [Vitor Pereira] has been a massive part of the success we’ve recently had, in terms of his ideas, his tactics, the way he believes football should be played with passion, with aggression and with fight. We’ve been showing that in our performances.
“The atmosphere was incredible tonight and I think the boys put on an incredible performance.
“Even when they had the ball, we just felt we were in control. Not comfortable because they have incredible talent and a good threat, but with the ball, we were calm, confident, had a couple of chances where we could have gone 1-0 up before.
“Delighted for Woody to score his penalty, but it’s only half-time, so there’s a lot to do.”
As the tie remains finely poised, Forest will look to carry that same energy and control into the next leg.
With belief growing in the camp, Pereira’s side appear ready to push on and finish the job.
