fight four good possible squad top
Totten-ham have a good team, a good squad and a good manager. They will fight to be in the top four and we will try to do the same. I don't know if it's possible but we will try.
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.
closer fight game move next second win
My idea is to think about the next game and if you win the next game we can move closer and fight for the second place.
challenge convinced fight games good last players squad strong team trophy
My idea is to have two players for each position. If you have a strong squad you can play all the games with a good team. I am convinced we already have a better team than last season. Yes, we want to fight for the Premiership, but we want to go for all of the trophies. We will not say one trophy is more important than the other, because we now have a squad that can challenge in all competitions.
