“What a talented footballer he is, he could play anywhere so powerful yet so graceful with the ball at his feet”- One Nottingham Forest player left Sky Sports pundit Stunned after seeing his impressive performance on every angle Vs Brentford
Nottingham Forest are on cloud nine after securing another impressive away win, this time defeating Brentford 2-0 in the Premier League.
The victory over Brentford marked Forest’s third consecutive win, pushing Nuno Espirito Santo’s team up to third place in the Premier League standings.
Following their triumph over Aston Villa the previous weekend, Espirito Santo would have hoped for a similar level of performance from his squad, and they delivered, going above and beyond to beat the team with the best home record in the league.
Ola Aina earned praise from Forest fans for his goal and overall performance, but one Sky Sports pundit singled out another key player for his outstanding contribution against Brentford.
Sky Sports pundit highlights Murillo’s versatility and brilliance Reporting on the Forest vs Brentford match for Sky Sports, journalist Lewis Jones was highly impressed with Murillo’s performance at the heart of the Forest defence.
Jones remarked: “What a talented footballer Murillo is. He could play anywhere. So powerful yet so graceful with the ball at his feet.”
As Brentford began to increase the pressure on Forest’s defence, Jones continued to praise Murillo’s resilience, saying: “Murillo makes his seventh clearance of the afternoon. Majestic.”
Despite being an injury concern before the match, Murillo made a timely recovery, much to the relief of Forest’s manager. As Jones highlighted, some of Murillo’s statistics against Brentford demonstrated that he could excel in multiple positions for Forest.
Murillo’s stats against Brentford are extraordinary for a centre-back In the back three set up by Espirito Santo, Murillo was not only tasked with defending but also contributing as an outlet on the ball, a responsibility he carried out with ease.
Murillo completed 19 of his 20 passes, including three superb deliveries into the final third for Forest. He also completed all four of his long balls and made a remarkable 80-yard run in the buildup to Chris Wood’s header in the first half.
However, his most crucial role was defensive, as Brentford pushed forward in the second half in search of a goal. Murillo made five headed clearances from Brentford’s crosses, won all of his aerial duels, and made three interceptions.
Forest currently value Murillo at £70m based on his impressive performances at the City Ground, but displays like this are only likely to increase his market value even further.
