Nunez: We Gave Them Space, So They Scored, and We Will Keep Trying to Catch Up with Arsenal
Matheus Nunes, the Manchester City midfielder, spoke about his team's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the 29th round of the English Premier League for the 2025/2026 season.
Nunez said, "They scored great goals because we gave them space. If you don't give them space, they will have to make decisions under pressure."
He continued: "We need to be more focused, especially when we are ahead in the score, because we have to control the game and not become complacent. I think we relaxed a bit after scoring the first goal."
Regarding the last chance that Nottingham Forest's defense cleared off the line, he said: "Frustration, honestly, I don't know, I don't know."
He added: "We still have many matches ahead, and we have many experienced players. We've been in this situation before, and we know that a seven-point gap is significant, but we have to do our duty."
He continued: "If we don't do that, we won't have any chance in the end. It doesn't matter how many points we're behind; we will keep trying to catch up with them."
Núñez concluded his remarks about the conflict with Arsenal by saying: "We will definitely be ready for the upcoming matches because we are still in the competition and have good chances to win everything."
