Nuno expressed his delight with the result and stated that he was chuffed with the standards of his player and their effort to see off one of the top teams in the world. The Forest gaffer added that such wins act as a shot in the arm of a team vying for the upper echelons of the English league.
“We are very happy. We did a very good game against a tough team," the Portuguese boss said.
“The defensive display was good. Proud and happy," he continued.
“We are talking about the best teams around. It always gives you the confidence that you can compete well against such good players," the 51-year-old added.
Nuno, however, also iterated that such games should prove as a motivator for his side instead of something to get complacent over and rallied the fans to enjoy the football their side have to offer in an astounding season under the watchful Portuguese head coach.
“It allows us to grow as a team, but it doesn’t change the opponent ahead of you because the Premier League is very tough. Every good performance we have and every good result we have is always what we look for," Nuno said.
“It doesn’t change anything. It’s about the focus and the approach of the games. Let’s enjoy the journey together. The players are doing amazing, the fans are giving us help, so let’s keep on enjoying," he asserted.
Nottingham have a week to rest ahead of their next Premier League assignment against Ipswich on the 15th of March.
“Let’s rest because it was a tough week for us. Many of our players made 120 minutes-plus (against Ipswich in the FA Cup fifth round) and now 90 minutes. Let’s keep them healthy, recover and prepare for the next one," he signed of.
