afterwards closer fight focused players saying win worry
If we win, we will be closer and we can fight for more things, but I don't want to worry the players by saying too much about this. I want them to be focused on what they need to do to win the game. Afterwards we can think about the table.

If we need to score two, or maybe even three, then why not? We will score. With strikers, it is a question of luck. We are creating chances for them and they are creating their own.
