Nuno: We must correct our mistakes; West Ham United are rebuilding their competitiveness through the transfer window.

Facing a nine-game winless streak, West Ham United manager Nuno delivered a sincere and tough speech ahead of Tuesday night's home game against Nottingham Forest.

Nuno confronted the team's current crisis head-on, describing it as a golden opportunity to correct mistakes. Reflecting on the painful defeat to Wolves in the previous match, Nuno admitted that the team collapsed within the first ten minutes, which he found hard to accept.

“We analyzed and reviewed that game, and our performance was terrible. We broke the team’s tactical principles, which made me feel very bad.” Speaking about the upcoming opponent, Nuno emphasized the importance of the start: “Conceding a goal at the start is very worrying. It’s very difficult to come back from behind, and we must be fully focused in tomorrow’s game.”

Under pressure to improve performance, Nuno has focused on rebuilding player confidence: "My focus is on how to help and improve my players, and how to improve the current situation."

In response to the fans' doubts, Nuno sincerely stated, "We want to apologize to the fans, but they know we need their support, and we will continue to fight. I trust my players, and I know their ability is far greater than this."

Nuno views the ongoing January transfer window as crucial to turning the season around. "We are at a critical moment in rebalancing our squad," Nuno said.

Although two new signings have arrived, Nuno emphasized that the recruitment work is far from over: "The club is working hard, and we still need more signings, not only in the attacking line, but we need to continue to balance the whole team."

Nuno's stance is clear: this is his first opportunity to personally influence the roster since taking over, and he will focus on making the team stronger for the remainder of the season.
