"To press in the way we want to press, we need energy. We tried to press as if we had a full tank of energy, pressing and pressing to win the ball as soon as possible. What we learned from the first half is about the trigger to press together. We started the game by conceding space that we cannot afford against these kinds of teams: between the lines, on opposite sides."
"They pressed us and we didn't find the proper spaces. We adjusted the system in the second half, controlling the spaces out wide and inside. We need to learn from the first half and take the good things from the second half. If we play without energy and you open the game to a full pitch, it's a big problem. You will make mistakes and [opponents] will have chances."
Nottingham Forest suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, extending their losing streak to three matches across all competitions. Manager Vitor Pereira identified tactical pressing errors and insufficient energy as key factors in the poor first-half performance. Brighton scored through Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck, with Morgan Gibbs-White equalizing briefly for Forest. Pereira explained that his team attempted aggressive pressing without adequate energy reserves, creating defensive vulnerabilities between the lines and on opposite sides. Forest adjusted their system in the second half, implementing better control of wide and interior spaces. The defeat leaves Forest fourth from bottom, two points above West Ham.
