"Nottingham Forest” club's head coach Victor Pereira, ahead of the second leg of the Europa League match against Birmingham "Aston Villa”, commented on the great opportunity to reach the final:

"I told the players: you are a special group, as this season you have worked with four coaches, with different ways of thinking about football and methodologies.

You have had a tough season. Now you are in a situation where we decide everything. We can finish the season fantastically.”

"If we want to write our name into this club's history, we must reach the final and win it.

I don’t want my statue to end up somewhere near Brian Clough, but we can imagine what he was like in this city. For the new generations, he is an inspiration.”

The second leg will take place tomorrow in Birmingham.

"Nottingham Forest” club is 16th in the English Championship with 42 points.
