“We are Working Hard Every Week. It is Showing on the Pitch” – Ola Aina on Forest’s Top Four Push
Ola Aina is confident that Nottingham Forest can continue their strong form in the Premier League after securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday.
The victory helped Forest maintain their push for a top-four finish, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side holding onto third place in the league standings.
Aina played a key role in the win, registering his first assist of the season by setting up Chris Wood for Forest’s third goal.
“We’re buzzing after the win. We’re just happy to get the three points today,” Aina told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“We’ve been working hard every week, and it’s showing on the pitch. To be up there with some of the biggest teams is a real credit to us. We’ll keep pushing and take it week by week.”
Aina also praised his teammate Wood for his consistent goal-scoring form, adding, “Everyone is doing their part to reach our goals. I’m happy to get an assist for Chris. He’s been on fire, and he just keeps scoring.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
