00:00Where are you at as well? I know I appreciate that there's still a bit of a way to go
00:04in this season,
00:04but where are you at in terms of planning the next season?
00:10We're, as I said so many times, I'm mainly here for the short and mid to long term,
00:17but mainly my time is spent for the short term, and that means Crystal Palace tomorrow.
00:22And of course there are conversations going on about next season,
00:26but my complete focus is, and still should be, on this season because the margins are small,
00:34one or two results can make a big difference, as we saw,
00:38because I think two weeks ago we weren't five points clear of the number six,
00:43and two results later we are, so it can also go both ways.
00:49So my full focus is on Palace, which is needed because, as you know,
00:54we've played them three times already this season and weren't able to beat them once.
00:58At the same time you've given yourself that freedom space in terms of qualifying for next season,
01:02in the Champions League at the moment.
01:03Yeah, that is what the results recently have done to us.
01:09I think in the last eight games we picked up 16 points,
01:12and it doesn't always feel like that because in between we had to play Paris-Ngermain and Man City.
01:17So, but our recent league form is acceptable.
