Can Zian Flemming and his team rise to the Premier League challenge? He emphasizes the importance of their strong defensive foundation and relentless work rate.
Flemming acknowledges the significant step up in competition and the need to elevate their game. Maintaining a solid defense, with contributions from every player, will be crucial. He believes their existing foundation could give them a competitive edge.
Their collective effort from last season provides a base to build upon as they prepare for the increased intensity of the Premier League. The team is focused on enhancing all aspects of their performance.
00:00Well, only time will tell, obviously, but we've got a good feeling, I think, so far.
00:06Everyone knows how big of a challenge that is, so there's no point in trying to play that down in any way.
00:15Like we just said, the Premier League is the highest level in the world, so if it was easy, everyone would have done it and everyone would have been there.
00:24So, yeah, it's going to be really hard, but we've got a very strong foundation, I think, from last year,
00:32and I believe that that's something that could give us an edge to get where we want to be.
00:37Do you feel that's going to be important, that sort of defensive structure, keeping that next season?
00:43Do you feel like you probably have to be a bit more defensive next season?
00:46Yeah, well, we'll just see how it goes, but I think, like I said, the defensive foundation that we had as a whole team
00:53and the whole organization from front to back and the work rate that everyone had.
00:59Yeah, like I said, from me as a striker and wingers, if you've seen how well the wingers have helped us defend as well,
01:06that also prevents goals.
01:08And now that we're going to step it up a level, we're going to have to step that up a level as well,
01:15rather than keeping it the same, but it's definitely something that we can keep building on.
