Vitor Pereira spoke to TNT Sports after Nottingham Forest’s draw against Manchester City: “It is not easy to play here against City, with one day less to recover. In the end we played a good game, first half more defending, but we created two big chances to score. After their goal we started to understand the spaces they concede to us, and we scored good goal.
“It was a pity the corner [City’s second goal] because we knew they would try the far post. But overall I am happy with the speed, the performance, and it is very positive to see our future together.
On his confidence of avoiding relegation: “I am very positive, I believe a lot in the quality of the players. I believe with a little bit of time, I hope next week, we can increase our level. They have quality, we are organised, and I believe with this spirit we have the conditions to get points everywhere.
“[I have had only] two training sessions with the team, because the other ones were to recover the team, not to work [on new ideas].”
On City’s penalty appeals: “It’s normal in football. They want to win, to push the referee, this is normal. In my opinion this is not a game we can complain about the referee.”
Elliot Anderson spoke to TNT Sports: “It was massive, obviously we’ve had a poor run, we knew coming here we would have to fight and work hard because they are a top side. We dug out a point, we are really happy.
“It keeps us pushing, we’ve got such a team spirit. I couldn’t fault the effort of the lads, I thought we fought really hard today.”
On Morgan Gibbs-White’s backheel goal: “It was a great finish and got the belief going for the team.
“We’ve got a few days off after a lot of games. Then we will be back on the pitch working top pick up more points in this battle.”
