Nuno Espirito Santo Remains Grounded Amid Nottingham Forest's Impressive Form

Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Nottingham Forest, is not allowing himself to become overly enthusiastic about his team's recent success, which has seen them climb into an impressive position in the Premier League title race following a decisive 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This win marks the sixth straight triumph for Forest, who have now secured nine clean sheets this season, leaving them just six points shy of the league leaders, Liverpool, ahead of their upcoming match against them.

The match showcased goalkeeper Matz Sels as a key player, particularly in the first half, with Forest capitalizing on their limited chances by scoring with all three of their shots on target. Nuno expressed pride in his players' work ethic and determination and acknowledged that the competition remains fierce. He reminded everyone that, while their recent performance has been commendable with 40 points accumulated over 20 games—matching Leicester City's record during their title-winning season—the team must remain humble and focused.

Nuno further articulated that the goal of the coaching staff is to continuously enhance player development, which will naturally lead to improvement for both the team and the club. He believes strong performances build confidence, and that was evident in players like Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga during the match against Wolves, creating significant threats. Nonetheless, before facing Liverpool, the team must shift their focus to the FA Cup clash against Luton Town.
