Forest Owner Evangelos Marinakis Confident of Improvement
Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest, believes that this season will see a vast improvement for the club. Despite narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Marinakis is optimistic about his team's prospects for the upcoming season.
Impressive Performances Against Big Clubs
Marinakis is particularly pleased with how Forest performed against the Premier League's Big Six clubs. With victories over Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham, as well as draws against Manchester City and Chelsea, Forest showed that they can compete at the highest level.
Challenges Against Inferior Competition
However, Marinakis acknowledges that Forest struggled against lesser opponents last season, dropping points and losing matches that they should have won. He is determined to address this issue and ensure that Forest can consistently perform well against all teams.
Investing in the Club's Future
Marinakis is fully committed to establishing Nottingham Forest as a genuine Premier League force. He has invested heavily in the club, spending money on training centers, stadium improvements, and real estate development in the region.
Positive Start to the Season
Despite a 2-1 loss to Arsenal in their first Premier League match of the season, Marinakis remains confident that this year will bring improvement for Forest. He is fully supportive of the coaching staff and players and believes that they have what it takes to succeed.
Organizing Successful UEFA Super Cup
In addition to his involvement with Nottingham Forest, Marinakis recently helped organize the UEFA Super Cup at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, where his other club, Olympiacos, plays. The event was a great success, receiving praise from UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Challenges in Greek Football
Marinakis is not only focused on Forest but also has a vision of transforming Greek football. As the newly elected president of the Superleague, he plans to adopt elements from the Premier League to improve the sport in Greece. This includes professional refereeing and creating a professional committee for the future of Greek football.
Looking Towards the Future
Marinakis hopes to bring the Champions League Final to Karaiskakis Stadium, but acknowledges that this will require further expansion. He is committed to making positive changes in Greek football and believes that immediate action is needed to ensure a bright future for the sport.
