Igor Jesus said: “That is the result of the work we do. I have been preparing very well and doing a good job. I always try to help my colleagues the best way possible and I hope I can keep doing it. To be among the players going to the World Cup, it would be a dream. I think I have the skills for it but it will result from what I do here, too.”

I always work and give my best to help the team. Tomorrow we have an important game and we can do it. We have been preparing very well to show our strengths.”
Vitor Pereira said: “He is a top player. It is not the first time I have said to him he has everything to be a top scorer and to play at the top level. He has technical quality, he is intelligent, he has the true spirit. It is not only in attack, it is defending to help the team. It is an honour for me to work with this type of player.”
Jesus’ performance has not gone unnoticed by Nottingham Forest’s head coach, Vitor Pereira, who praised the forward’s technical abilities and work ethic. Pereira emphasized Jesus’ potential to excel at the highest levels of football, both in attack and defense.
