From Relegation Battle to Title Race?
Nottingham Forest has been remarkable this season, climbing to 2nd place in the Premier League by the end of 2024. In contrast, they were sitting at 15th on the same day last year, battling against relegation. They narrowly avoided the drop, finishing just one position above the relegation zone last May.
Now, they find themselves in contention for the Premier League title.
After a 23-year absence, 1,000 league and playoff matches, and the guidance of 20 different managers, Forest has finally returned to the Premier League and is relishing this moment.
Their impressive run has also put them in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League, a tournament they won in 1979 and 1980.
So far this season, Santo's team has secured 10 wins out of 18 matches, already surpassing their total wins from the previous two seasons, where they managed just nine victories each in both the 2022/23 and 2023/24 campaigns.
How far can they go this season? Could a miracle be on the horizon?
諾定咸森林本季表現卓越,到2024年底已經上升至英超聯賽的第二位。相比之下,他們在去年同一天僅排第15位,還在為護級而掙扎。去年五月,他們僅以高一名之差避免降班。
現在,他們正處於爭奪英超冠軍的行列。
在經歷了23年的缺席、1,000場聯賽及附加賽,以及20位不同領隊的指導後,森林終於重返英超,並且在享受這一刻。
他們的出色表現也讓他們有望獲得歐聯資格,而他們在1979年和1980年曾經奪得歐聯冠軍。
本賽季到目前為止,紐奴 (Nuno Espírito Santo) 的球隊在18場比賽中取得了10場勝利,已經超過了過去兩個賽季的總勝場數,他們在2022/23和2023/24賽季中各自僅取得了九場勝利。
他們本賽季能走多遠?會不會有奇蹟出現?
