Centre-back pairing Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic are proving a ‘really good combination’ as Nottingham Forest build their impressive start on their defence.
Forest are third in the Premier League table following a thumping win over West Ham, with the second best record for goals conceded (seven), the second most clean sheets in the Premier league with five, the sixth best record for limiting shots (36) and the fourth best record for expected goals against (9.7).
He said: “It’s a great opportunity to look at Nottingham Forest’s defensively and it’s a really interesting partnership between Murillo and Milenkovic. Murillo is definitely the front-foot defender of the two, always looking to come out and be aggressive, take the ball and drive Nottingham Forest on. He’s got a real art of taking the ball off people’s toes and pushing them forward. Then when he doesn’t take it, his partner in crime is there nice and calm when he does come out in Milenkovic to tidy up after him
