Ryan Yates expects tough test as Porto visit: "We know their quality" | OneFootball

Ryan Yates, midfielder for Nottingham Forest, believes that his team can finally secure a victory at home against FC Porto this Thursday, in the 3rd round of the Europa League group stage, after a sequence of 10 games without a win. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old Englishman acknowledges that it won't be an easy task.

“We know how good they are, they're having an incredible season, they're a top team. But we want a good restart with the new coach,” he said to Sport TV, commenting on the arrival of Sean Dyche as the head coach: “He just wants the crowd to be with us, for us to regain energy and achieve good results. We are in good spirits, things have changed quickly. We are looking forward to a great game against FC Porto.”

Dyche is the third coach of the season, following the tenures of Ange Postecoglou and Nuno Espírito Santo. The Portuguese coach left his mark, but Ryan Yates prefers to look ahead. “They are different styles, it's not my place to look into that... It's up to us to seek the best results only. We have the responsibility to be better players on the field and we have a new opportunity to fine-tune things. We had great moments with Nuno Espírito Santo, but we have to look to the future,” he commented.
