Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (kick-off 14:15 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
The players will have Friday "to recover" after travelling back from Denmark and then they will "try to tactically prepare for the match against Tottenham".
Pereira said "mentality, energy and spirit" is more important than tactics most of the time, as that is what will put them "in good shape to go there and compete" with Spurs.
On the magnitude of the game: "It's a very important match, but in the end it's 11 vs 11 on the pitch. It's not only about this game, we must have the mentality to get points from all eight games [remaining]."
He said Thursday's Europa League win "proved we have a lot of options with quality to help us in this difficult battle" in the Premier League.
On opponents Tottenham: "They've played the last two games with quality and spirit. It's going to be a tough game for us and a tough game for them."
He wants his side to be "tactically intelligent, be compressed, defend well and when we have the ball, attack spaces and express individual qualities".
Despite the game being away from home, Pereira said the players "need" the fans "a lot" as "in this moment, we need to be a family and fight as a family together".
