Nottingham Forest target Europa League comeback against FC Midtjylland
Nottingham Forest manager Pereira has urged his squad to show complete unity as they attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit against FC Midtjylland in their Europa League last-16 second leg on Wednesday.
The Premier League side arrived at the MCH Arena knowing their European campaign hangs firmly in the balance.
Following a frustrating first-leg defeat, the visitors must produce a flawless performance in Denmark to secure quarter-final qualification.
Crucial test in Scandinavia
The Danish Superliga outfit hold a slender, yet crucial, one-goal advantage heading into this decisive encounter.
Facing a fiercely passionate home crowd, the two-time European Cup winners will need to heavily rely on their extensive continental pedigree.
“We must stand together and fight for every single ball if we are to turn this tie around.”
Pereira emphasised the absolute importance of collective resilience during his final pre-match media duties.
Tactical adjustments required
Overcoming the disciplined home defence will require a significantly more potent attacking display than was witnessed in the reverse fixture.
The English club’s coaching staff are widely expected to deploy a highly aggressive tactical setup from the very first whistle.
Progression to the final eight of the tournament would mark a monumental achievement for the travelling contingent.
