"I believe we need to focus on the present and focus on the day we play, focus on the game we are playing. Not to look at the future. The future... we will see what happens. If you lose your focus thinking about what can happen, this is a mistake in my opinion. Just look at the now."
"The tiredness is not only physical, it's mental too. You need to recover. But this is what we have. You cannot use the Europa League as an excuse because we are there and we are there competing. Before I accepted the job, I knew that we have ambitions to keep our targets in both competitions."
Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira remains winless in his first three Premier League matches, with the team suffering a 2-1 defeat at Brighton that extended their winless run to five games. Forest sits just two points above the relegation zone with 10 matches remaining. Pereira advocates focusing on immediate performance rather than league standings, stressing the importance of mental and physical recovery. He acknowledges the challenge of balancing Europa League competition with relegation concerns, noting Forest will play six games in 22 days during March. Despite these pressures, Pereira refuses to use European football as an excuse, having accepted the role knowing the club's ambitions in both competitions.
