"I felt like we had a real identity out there today. I think his message to us is that we're going to have a real identity of how we play and how we defend as a team. I feel like him and his staff have brought a real positive energy into the group and we've all bought into what he wants straight away."
"And I think that's the most important thing, buying into each other and understanding each other. I think we've got a little bit of that already and I think we showed out there abundance today. So, it's about keeping learning off each other. Keep learning and then taking it game by game."
Vitor Pereira's first match as Nottingham Forest manager produced a 3-0 Europa League first-leg victory at Fenerbahce. Murillo, Igor Jesus and captain Morgan Gibbs-White scored to give Forest a decisive lead in the playoff round. Pereira is the club's fourth manager of a turbulent season and aims primarily to secure Premier League survival. The win places Forest close to a last-16 tie with Real Betis or Midtjylland unless the second leg produces a reversal. Gibbs-White praised a defined team identity, positive energy and collective buy-in, with confidence carrying into the upcoming home match with Liverpool.
