A Draw Before the Title Decider: A Mixed Emotion for the Manager

As we watched the game together, I was surprised by the outcome – a draw. And going into the title decider, it’s not a surprising result for Palace’s strong performance as a team and individual players. But before the game, I didn’t expect it to end in a draw, which means we only need a point to clinch the Premier League title.

Facing the Emotion of the Occasion

As we prepare for the title-deciding game against Tottenham, it’s a big responsibility. We are aware that everyone is looking forward to Sunday, and we need to get at least one point. We know that the fans will be there, and we need their support to help us reach our goal. It’s a nice game to look forward to, but also a responsibility we have.

Focusing on the Next Game

We’re only focused on the next opponent, Tottenham, who is playing for something special in the Europa League. We’ll try to prepare the team the same way we have all season, and hope the players bring the same energy and mentality to the game. It’s not about the emotion of the occasion; it’s about winning the game.

Becoming the 12th Manager to Win the Premier League Title

As we approach the title, it’s surreal to think about becoming the 12th manager to win the Premier League title, and the first Dutchman to do so. But for now, we’re not thinking about that; we’re focusing on the next game. It’s not about individual achievements; it’s about the team.

Surprises Can Happen

In our previous game, we saw a surprise before the game, and we can always be surprised by a team’s game plan. But we know how Tottenham plays, and they know how we play. We need to be sharp and focused to adjust our strategy to win.

Mode of Operation

As I inherited this squad, some people say that what we’ve achieved is more impressive. But when I came in, I didn’t think about the challenges; I just focused on getting to know the team and working with them. The expectations are always high, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to win something with this club.

Opinions on the Premier League

As for the Premier League’s strength this season, everyone has their own opinion. In my opinion, it’s never been as exciting for top four or top five finishes, and it’s been hard to win games. It’s never been an easy game, and maybe that tells us something about our league.

Enjoying the Game

As for enjoying the game on Sunday, as a manager, I only get to enjoy it for a few minutes after the game. We’re always focused on winning, and then we need to manage the team and the media. It will take a while before I can fully enjoy the moment.

Connor Bradley’s Fitness

Regarding Connor Bradley’s fitness, he’s getting closer to playing 90 minutes. We’ll wait and see how he does in the upcoming sessions and assess his fitness before the game.

In conclusion, we’re focused on the next game, and the title is not yet secured. We need to stay sharp and perform well to achieve our goal.
