Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest have covered the least distance in the Premier League – but here’s why it helps | Football News happymamay

Given that Nottingham Forest has become a lines for some due to the number of signatures in the shadow of Evanjelus Marinakis since winning the upgrade, it may be surprising that we have used the lowest number of players in any club in the Premier League this season.

This continuity was one of the secrets of Forest’s success, and it took it in the UEFA Champions League places with a six -point feature over the Manchester City champion in fifth place with only 14 for the Premier League equipment for play.

Five players in the forest started at least 23 of 24 games in the competition this season. There is a distinguished goalkeeper Matz Siliz, the middle of Nikola Melinkovic and Murlo, the full back and Aina’s top scorer, Chris Wood.

No other team had that many players start many games in the Premier League this season. Brighton, the team they overcame 7-0 on Saturday, had no one. The lower club Southampton, or perhaps the largest Tottenham season in the season.

The temptation is to point out that this is luck. Nuno Espereto Santo may have been lucky to injuries and the absence of European obligations to distract the attention of the forests. This is more likely to be the result and the benefit of the manager’s approach.

In Wolves Back in 2019/20, a season in which his team played at least 17 games in the European League, he had 11 players inside his team who played 33 or more games in the Premier League as well. They ranked seventh for a second consecutive season.

Speaking to Nuno at the time about this characteristic of his division, he saw that it was evolving in his thinking. “I had big difference,” he said. “I had big difference in Rio Ave, Valencia and Porto. All managers are going through the learning process and trying to find solutions.”

The advantages of a smaller, clear band. When Anthony Ellanga crosses the ball, he knows that wood is likely to withdraw to the distant position. When the Morgan Gibbs-Wite picks up the ball, it does not need to search for the whereabouts of the contestants.

“More complications and small societies. This comes from hours, hours on training, and hours of play together,” Nuno said in that conversation throughout those years. “It becomes a routine that becomes a habit and your habits become your personality.”

Players develop relationships. To date, it is very normal. But what is great is that it is the style of playing in Nuno that facilitates this continuity. The team to cover the lowest distance in the Premier League season 2019/20? Wolves team. The direction continues.

This season, the team that runs the lowest level of each game is Nuno Forrest side. This is not because the players are not trying. This is not related to the rate of work or inactivity. It comes to these familiar words in Nuno, and the desire for his team to remain pressured at all times.

The style of the forest is unusual between the difference at the top end of the table. Even when setting seven brighton at the last time, they did it with only 37.4 percent of possession. The Nuno team does not pressure the opposition to win it quickly in the same way.

There is no team in the Premier League that allows the opposition to play more passes before taking more defensive measures than Forest. They are satisfied with the opposition to have possession in the areas they feel controlled by the situation even without the ball.

The result is that the forest allows its opponents to advance the ball in the scroll sequence more than anyone else as well. While Nuno sees the game, sucking the team forward means that there is more space for the attacking players in the transition.

Of course, there is no correct or wrong way to play football, and regardless of stylistic preferences, the only thing that really matters is whether to work. But it is reasonable to conclude that although the Forst approach imposes taxes mentally, it is not required physically.

Interestingly, the team that presses more, the team that allows the lowest number of opposition permits for each defensive action is Tottenham from Angecoglou. It is an intense style, which is considered polarity versus Nuno and initially welcomed by their supporters.

But as Tottenham suffered more muscle injuries than any other team in the competition, there may be more than just aesthetics, even more than the immediate result that has been achieved. If this type of football is more difficult to maintain it, it affects the availability of the player.

Bournemouth plays a similar urgent game and overlook themselves, so that they can work. But they also did so despite the major injuries. The Premier League team with the lowest number of injuries at the present time? This will be the Nutingham forest.

There are reasons to believe that the current Forest shape is not sustainable. Book makers take the point of view that they are unlike the end of the first four places. The expected blind data will also indicate that there are likely to have other teams.

But it would be a mistake to believe that this is all coincidence. If Nuno is able to get his strongest players over and over again on the field over and over, history will suggest that his methods mean that he is capable, then we expect the Nottingham Forest team to continue in a surprise.
