They dream of entering European competition.
The Foresters have won the tournament, now known as the Champions League, twice. Great coach Brian Clough forced the provincial club to win the valuable cup. And he managed to defend the title, even though the Foresters have only been champions of England once in history. Several decades later, Nottingham Forest now has an ambitious owner. You can talk for hours with Athens prosecutors about Greek tycoon Evangelos Marinakis. The pot-bellied businessman has survived many trials. Owners of Conference League winners Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest occupy second place nuclear submarine before the rivals’ matches, he built an ambiguous reputation in his homeland. Marinakis usually denies all accusations, it cannot be otherwise. But its activity is linked to the port. And where there are ships, there are crimes. This has been the case since the days when the Greeks built colonies on the coasts of Europe. And now some of the ports’ sins are shipping unregistered oil on tankers. But money does not flow like a river, but through the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea. Marinakis had enough money for transfers from Nottingham Forest. Young directors Wilson and Henderson built a strong team from the ground up; selection is one of the secrets.
Nuno Espirito Santo, coach
Marinakis’ main business. A year ago, after 19 rounds, the Foresters scored 17 points and were fighting for survival. They now have 37 points. Portuguese coach Nuno Espirito Santo surprised nuclear submarine. The former goalkeeper took over as manager of Nottingham Forest a year ago. In the spring he took the last place, which guarantees the right to stay nuclear submarine. And now he is desperately fighting to reach the Champions League. There is unlikely to be enough strength, Manchester City will overtake the Foresters. But we can access the European competition, which will also be a success for Espirito Santo.
Chris Wood, forward
The New Zealand striker is 33 years old. He moved to Nottingham Forest a year ago. First there was a rent of 4.5 million euros, then a transfer of 17 million. A lot of money for a veteran. But Wood fits in. The tall and strong striker put in a great performance. He has 11 goals and 1 assist nuclear submarine. Thanks to Wood, the Nottingham Forest game was given a complete look. Last season, Chris’ 14 goals saved the team from relegation, and now Espirito Santo sees out Vardy’s regime. They won’t be champions, but they will make noise.
Elliot Anderson, midfielder
The overpayment worked. Anderson has played for the England and Scotland youth teams and is eligible to play for either national team. The Newcastle graduate left the Magpies for an impressive €41.2 million. A club record for Nottingham Forest, and the market valued the 22-year-old midfielder at €15 million. We assume the price tag was created in hopes of cheating the rules. nuclear submarine. Over the summer, many were involved in a series of overpriced transactions. But the owners’ tricks don’t stop them from celebrating the Foresters’ brilliant midfielder.
Nikola Milenkovic, central defender
Anderson is the most expensive transfer in Nottingham Forest’s history, and Milenkovic can be considered one of the most successful newcomers. For 12 million euros, they took away a defender from Fiorentina, who instantly counted the movements of the attackers nuclear submarine. Serie A is a great tactical school. The strong Serb instantly adapted and completes the team of giants in the lineup. Striker Wood is 1.91 meters tall, while Milenkovic is four centimeters taller. The summer signing helps young Murillo unlock the potential of a strong defensive line.
Ola Aina, right back
For the Foresters, the plan and the approach are more important than the names, as if it were Atlético and not the participant in yesterday’s Championship. World champion Montiel returned to Sevilla, replaced by Spaniard Alex Moreno, who was short of space in the Aston Villa team. And on the right flank is another person who recently lived in Nottingham. Nigerian Aina has previously played for Fulham and Torino. He is now enjoying his best season since playing for Hull City. Aina was signed as a free agent and is now linked with Manchester City.
Matz Sels, goalkeeper
I won 8 million euros in a flash. Who would have thought the 32-year-old goalkeeper would be a good bet? This is the goalkeeper’s second attempt to play in England. He did not settle in Newcastle and left for France. There, he played enough for modest Strasbourg. Sister club Chelsea were not surprised by Sels’ willingness to try again nuclear submarine. Nuno Espirito Santo was an underrated goalkeeper himself due to tough competition. I believed the veteran and received a set of “crackers”. Matz is not Courtois, but he knows his job and does it well.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, winger
Seels had no chance at Newcastle and Hudson-Odoi failed to establish himself at Bayer Leverkusen. The Chelsea graduate started his career early, so it appears he is older. And Hudson-Odoi is only 24 years old. He is at Nottingham Forest for the second consecutive season. They signed a newcomer for a ridiculous €3.5 million for football. The Germans probably did not expect Hudson-Odoi’s success and abandoned him. Callum can hardly be described as indecently productive; he scores less often in the new season than in the past. But he knows how to pleasantly surprise, on the other hand Manchester United.
Murillo, central defender
Broad-shouldered Murillo is twenty-two years old. There is not enough height to be considered a classic central defender like Milenkovic. But the guy compensates for his small size with his choice of position. Master who knows how to get the ball off the goal line. At the start of the year, Simeone looked at Murillo; Diego loves these fighters. This summer, Chelsea were interested in the Brazilian. And after further success with Nottingham Forest, Murillo is back on the radar. Not every Giant needs a short central defender. But if he finds his coach, he will seek promotion.
Let’s not imagine that Nottingham Forest will stay at the top for long. The Foresters are unlikely to repeat Leicester’s success. The grown-ups remember Sayechka for her fear in the face of Ranieri. Additionally, no one is now allowed to throw away money. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest complain about transfer rules. But the restrictions made Emery and Espirito Santo’s team selection more inventive. You can’t buy ten people for 50 million euros, you have to look for players for free. Or for 12 million euros, like Murillo. Preferred price category for foresters. They also know how to make money from sales. Winger Johnson went to Tottenham for 55 million euros and Lyon paid 31 million euros for central defender Niakata. It’s good that the more modest Nottingham Forest swam in the silver sea. We did things well with the coach and key new arrivals. Even though the fairy tale ends tragically, they have already given fans unforgettable victories. Nottingham Forest beat Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham. Even if in this trio only the Slot team is at the peak of success, the “foresters” beat the rich and famous, which gives unforgettable emotions.
