00:00The goal is obviously to get over the line, what thought have you given that this weekend
00:03could be the weekend that you clinched the Premier League title?
00:06My thoughts are not on that at all. My thoughts are, as always, on Leicester and on our team,
00:12how to improve, what can we do better.
00:15We couldn't do many things better in the first half against West Ham,
00:18we could do a lot of things better in the second half.
00:22So during the start of the week we've worked on that a lot, and now we are working towards Leicester.
00:27One game at a time, and influence the one we can influence on, and that's the Leicester game.
00:35Arne, have you not given it any thought what this weekend might hold and what next weekend might hold?
00:42The honest answer is no, but I'm not sure if you believe me, but that is the honest answer.
00:49My whole life I'm living in the moment, in the day, and I'm not looking backwards,
00:56and I'm not looking forward a lot, because it's the type of person that I am,
01:02that I'm not constantly looking back at what I've achieved at former clubs.
01:06That is also so difficult in football, people constantly tell you,
01:10try to enjoy the whole journey and blah, blah, blah, but the only thing,
01:13as a manager, you're thinking, oh, during the weekend there's a game coming up as well,
01:17and we need to win that, and we need to win the next, and we need to win the next.
01:22Maybe that's one of the reasons because I'm already so long in football
01:26that you get used to the fact of living day by day and trying to influence day by day.
