Latest Nottingham Forest news as Reds look to strengthen Nuno Espirito Santo's squad in summer window
The prospect of a central defensive partnership of Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic has got Nottingham Forest fans excited for the new season.
Vidic comparison At 6ft 5in, Milenkovic is certainly a commanding figure. He is good in the air, which will hopefully help Nuno in addressing the team’s set-piece problems. He is also capable of operating at right-back. What did the man himself think of the comparison? As quoted by GOAL, he said at the time: “It is magnificent to be compared to the likes of Vidic, but I have to stay humble with both feet firmly on the ground. Vidic was one hell of a player, while I am in the fledgling stage of my career and, hence, I have to keep working hard in order to climb that mountain."
Once described as “fearless”, he has not been afraid to stand up to any opponent over the course of his career. He quickly gained cult hero status at Fiorentina when, aged 20 and playing Juventus, he pushed his forehead into Gonzalo Higuain’s after a heated exchange between the pair. "I needed the reds; I learned from them," he previously explained. "That's my character: I always like to learn, to understand.
