Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup has made at Swansea City, but urged the Welsh club to keep their expectations level under check.
Laudrup, who took over the reins of the Liberty Stadium in June following Brendan Rodgers departure, has enjoyed a successful first 6 months at the office.
During his spell with the Swans so far, he helped the team record memorable wins against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314. Consequently, the club find themselves in the seventh place in the Premier League’s pecking order, just 3 points behind the Champions League slot. Their impressive run has sparked a ray of hope amongst the fans, who have already started dreaming of European football at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea need to finish inside the top six if they are to feature in the Europa League, with a CL spot surely not something which must be in their minds.
Nonetheless, Jensen has advised the fans not to get carried away with their recent successes.
Laudrup’s compatriot believed that there was still a long way to go in the season, and that the team still needed to improve considerably before they can talk about participating in Europe.
However, he praised Laudrup’s inspirational presence at the Liberty Stadium, pointing out that the 48-year old had added a more cutting edge to the Swans offence.
“Swansea have moved onto another level from last year. They continue to play good football, but the players Michael has brought in are creating bigger chances and the opportunity to score more goals,” he told the reporters.
“Europe is not a realistic possibility. Just because they are around there at the moment doesn’t mean that people need to start thinking about Europe.”
It appeared at the time that the new Liberty Stadium manager will face a tough task of filling in the shoes of Rodgers, who was immensely popular amongst the players and the fans. Besides, Swansea lost some of their stars to bigger clubs in the summer window, making the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 even more challenging.
Jensen also lauded the former Mallorca boss for bring in suitable replacements for the players who left, and feels that he has now got a good quality squad at his disposal.
