Robbie Keane said the aim is to get 'better and better' when he looked back on a campaign that saw the team record a successive fifth place finish. Of course, last season was considerably different from the one before. In season 2005-06 we played just 40 games and were able to place an almost 100 percent focus on securing European football. In the just concluded season the team took part in 59 games as they battled gamely on all fronts. League form did suffer for a spell as a result of the sheer volume of cup games early on in the year, but the team then hit a consistent spell and lost just one Premiership game from mid-February onwards. Robbie reflected that finishing in the top five is something the team can be satisfied with. "I think we have to be considering that around Christmas time we were struggling a little bit and it wasn't looking good for a UEFA Cup spot," he looked back. "Taking that into account we have to be happy with the way it worked out at the end. "It was very different with all the competitions, but personally I prefer it that way. I like to play a lot of games because it keeps you ticking over. Maybe we struggled a little bit at the start but after that we got into it and adapted." With the experience now tucked under collective belts, Robbie suspects the squad are now poised to push on. "I feel we can. Every season you want to progress and it is important we do. With this squad of players we have and, if it does get added to in the summer, we have to push on and fight for more. "We want to get better and better, we have finished fifth for two seasons and we want to be higher than that. "Certainly next season we will be a better team because we will have gelled together more. We had a lot of new players and by next season everyone will know each other's game a lot better." ============================================================================== Keano要以不斷進步為目標 Keane也安於第五名作收 這個賽季對我們來說很不一樣 05/06我們只踢了40場球 我們可以全力專注聯賽 但是本賽季我們共踢了59場球 杯賽給聯賽帶來不少壓力 但是球隊從二月中開始只輸掉一場球 Keane說 "在聖誕節的時候我們陷入一點麻煩 Uefa Cup的席位不是很光明" "考量到這一點 我們對於第五名可以說是非常高興" "大量比賽很艱辛 但是以個人來說我比較喜歡這樣" "我喜歡大量的比賽 因為這樣能使你上緊發條" "或許開季我們遇上了一點麻煩 但是我們逐漸適應了" 不斷學習到的經驗 Robbie認為我們已經準備充分了 "我感覺到我們可以 每一季都要進步對我們來說是很重要的" "現在隊中每位都做到這一點 如果加上夏天的生力軍 我們已經準備好爭取更大的成果" "我們要好上加好 連續兩季我們都第五作收 我們要衝到更前面" "當然下一季我們會更棒 因為我們會更有默契" "我們之前加入不少新球員 下一季彼此都會更了解對方的足球" -- 確定開季和聖誕節的時候只有"a little bit"麻煩嗎 XD Keano的話匣子打開很難停下來 -- Ｂerbatov：我們必須練練射門才行 --
