Nottingham Forest beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 in the 20th round of the English Premier League on January 7, Beijing time. After the match, Nottingham Forest's player Gibbs-White spoke in detail about the game process, his personal performance and the team's prospects in an interview with Sky Sports.
Facing the reporters, Gibbs-White confessed, "This win was not easy. We made thorough preparations before the game and executed them strictly during the game. We didn't lose our heads in the face of Wolves' strong first half comeback, but instead played a solid game and eventually established a lead. Zellers and Murillo were particularly good in defense, and they laid the foundation for the first half victory. On the offensive end, we took advantage of every opportunity, which is one of the big improvements we've made this season. Keeping our composure at key moments and accomplishing what we set out to do is our strength. The effort of every player allowed us to take better control of the game, which has given us a solid place in the standings."
Referring to the celebration after the goal, Gibbs-White said, "There is a rivalry between me and Wolves, but the beauty of soccer is this rivalry and harmony. We have both rivalry and laughter, which is something I cherish. Celebrating is just part of the game, what really matters is that we won."
When asked how it felt to score in front of new England manager Thomas Tuchel, Gibbs-White laughed: "I can't believe I didn't know he was there. Now that I know, of course it's great. But my full focus is on the club and looking forward to March."
Speaking about his outlook for the future, Gibbs-White said, "We're going to give it our all and approach every practice and opponent. We have full confidence in the team and the fans. The fans expect a lot from us and that's what keeps us going. We have to take it one game at a time and see how far we can go."
Finally, when asked what it would be like to play Champions League football at home, Gibbs-White said passionately, "It would be an incredible experience. While some of our fans have already experienced this honor, we as a club want to bring it to them again. We are confident and just need to stay calm and humble, take it one game at a time and never get complacent."
