Vítor Pereira believes that Nottingham Forest has everything it needs to ensure its survival in the Premier League, at a decisive stage of the season, with only eight matches left to play. The Portuguese coach highlighted the club's historical significance and the ambition of the group. "It is a historic club. I remember this club competing in Europe when I was young. Yes, a very strong club, very strong teams, fantastic players. And for us, it is an honor to be here fighting for this club," he began, in statements to Sky Sports. Despite the delicate position in the table — Forest is currently the first team above the relegation zone, tied on points with West Ham, who are in 18th place — the coach expressed confidence in the team's response. "When I step onto the field and look at these players, I see fire, I see commitment, and I feel that they want… we will succeed. I am sure we will secure our survival. I have no doubts," he stated. "It will be difficult, of course, because the teams fighting in this battle are good teams, good clubs, but we will succeed," he concluded. In what is expected to be an intense final stretch, Forest depends on itself to ensure its continuation in the top tier of English football. This weekend, the Tricky Trees face a challenge that could prove crucial in these calculations when they visit Tottenham, a rival in the fight for survival that currently has one more point than the Nottingham team.
