Forest coach: We are not ready at all, imbalanced and lack of players & Yilanga is difficult to replace
In the first round of the new Premier League season, Nottingham Forest will face Brentford at home. Forest coach Nuno said in an interview with Sky Sports that the team is not ready in many ways.
Talk about the current situation of the team.
"Our roster is unbalanced and there are serious problems. The team is still far from the state and goals they should have, very, very far away. Whether in preparation, planning or lineup, we are far from enough. The new season is near, and it is the most demanding game in the world - the Premier League.
"Our original plan was not realized, nor the opportunity to build a tacit understanding of the team - I think this is the most important. Because we are not even sure what kind of lineup we have. Some players are still training on the team, but they know they are about to be loaned, which is also a big problem. ”
Talk about summer window operations.
"We need players, some situations are progressing, which may involve a physical examination of the players, and then let's see what will happen. Of course, they certainly couldn't play in the first round. The club is also clear about the team's needs. ”
Crystal Palace was relegated to the Europa League, bringing Nottingham Forest to the Europa League, with the financial revenue difference between the two events being about £20 million.
"Whether it is the Europa League or the Europa League, we know this is a new challenge. Therefore, there is no change in preparation. We lost a very good opportunity to make progress, and now we have two weeks to see how things are going. But the opportunities we lost will not come back. ”
Elanga transfers to Newcastle, but Gibbs White stays.
"It is very difficult to find a replacement for Ilanga because he is an extremely special player. There is a lot of happening about Gibbs White, but the club president personally stepped in and solved the issue and he did a very good job. Gibbs White is very important to the team, not only because of his performance, but also because he is one of the team captains. He is a leader who leads by example, a good player who is ambitious and eager to improve, and this spirit can infect the entire team. ”
