Ola Aina urged the Nottingham Forest fans to turn up the volume ahead of the Reds’ UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg against Aston Villa, Prompt News reports.
Forest take on their fellow Premier League side on Thursday evening in the first of two legs to determine which club will progress to the final of the competition in Istanbul in May.
Both sides have a history in European competition, with the Reds winning back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980, while the Villans lifted the prestigious trophy in 1982.
The defender highlighted the important role the supporters can play in the fixture and urged the Forest faithful to crank up the noise on Trentside ahead of the contest.
“They’ll help us a lot, we need them to crank it up for us and we need to hear them throughout the whole game because they do drive us forward a lot,” Aina declared.
“They should get the volume up in the City Ground. It’s a semi-final of a European competition, so we might as well have fun while we’re here, which is what we’re all looking forward to.”
