Redknapp plays it safe by declaring Tottenham has competitors and also signals that Spurs will be happy with a UEFA Champions League place next season, something that can only be gained via a top four finish this season...
Tottenham who are set to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 on Wednesday are currently third in the English Premier League standings, three points behind Manchester United but with a game in hand. If Redknapp’s men win against Everton, then they
will draw level on points with the English Premier League champions, a feat that cannot be understated. When Tottenham started the Premier League season with two heavy defeats against United and Manchester City, they were considered to be competing for the
4th placed spot along with clubs such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
However things have changed since then as Tottenham are now on course to challenge for the English Premier League title if they keep their heads straight and their attitude right. Redknapp said in his interview, "We have improved
this year, we are stronger. It is just that belief. We have to believe we can do it and have that belief that we can keep challenging.”
He added, "I am not going to say 'We are going to win the league' as it is going to be very difficult - just look at Man United's squad and City's squad, they have fantastic players and can make changes everywhere. Their forward
players are incredible. Fergie [United boss Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson] will look at it and say 'They are going well, they are playing well'. He is not disrespectful to write us off completely.”
Redknapp also stated that it will be difficult for Tottenham to finish above either Manchester United or Manchester City but one can never say anything for sure in the English Premier League title race. He further elaborated that
Tottenham will look to get Champions League football again and that is what they really want to do in the current season but anything more than that will be impressive.
The former West Ham manager will expect his players to step it up in the coming months and it will be vital for Tottenham that their two star players http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 remain fit for the title run in from February onwards.
As Tottenham are not competiting in any other competition, it is expected that they won't have trouble with fatigue issues in their squad.
