Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has dismissed the recent praise from Arne Slot, head coach of Liverpool, ahead of their highly anticipated Premier League clash. Despite Slot's positive remarks about Forest’s progress this season, Santo remains steadfast in his focus on the game.

Slot acknowledged Forest’s impressive campaign so far, highlighting their consistency and ability to compete with top teams. He praised Santo for turning Forest into a formidable side, emphasizing their six-point gap behind Liverpool in the league standings. Slot also referenced Forest’s earlier victory at Anfield, calling it a testament to their growing strength.

However, Santo chose to downplay the comments, stating, “We appreciate the recognition, but it doesn’t change how we prepare for matches. Our focus is on the tasks at hand. Every game presents its own challenges, and we aim to stay consistent in our approach.”
