00:00Forrest are having a dream season.
00:02They could come back to the Champions League after so long.
00:05Do you have any memories of that Brian Clough team?
00:09I was so young.
00:12How do you see their season?
00:15Unbelievable. I know the history I found years ago.
00:18His son in the Fiat Cup or Carabao Cup, I don't remember.
00:21And we talk about his father.
00:22What I have done is unbelievable.
00:24And I think English people know the character, personality,
00:27the press conferences, the way they play.
00:30If they did what they have done,
00:33Brian Clough has done what they have done,
00:35what Forrest has done is because they were a really good team.
00:38You cannot do it.
00:41No consecutive times do it.
00:43And this Nuno-Spirito-Santo team is quite hard to break.
00:47They fed really well, counter-attacked so fast.
00:51Yeah, Nuno has done incredible things with both,
00:53qualifying for the Europa League in Europe.
00:55And now with Nottingham-Forrest,
00:57always have done an unbelievable job.
00:58Always have been really, really tough.
01:00When I was involved now,
01:02and yeah,
01:03said, please defend.
01:05The commitment they defend.
01:06Always I said,
01:07when players defend that way,
01:08it's a huge talent.
01:09Always we consider the talent,
01:11the guys who have good skills,
01:12good passes, good goals.
01:13But I admire a lot the teams like defend with this spirit.
01:17Defend well is have a talent.
01:20And they have the commitment,
01:21and of course a transition with the tough, tough players at front.
01:24So the owner,
01:27I think invests with a top,
01:29with a top, top-class players,
01:31have a depper squad.
01:32And yeah,
01:33it was promoted in the Premier League,
01:35and they invest a lot to them being relegated.
01:37And they did it.
01:38And now,
01:38look,
01:39the results are here.
