Norwich City midfielder Anis Ben Slimane, who signed permanently for the club in January, emphasizes that the team's focus on securing a top-six spot in the Championship next season begins immediately. The Canaries' recent form, with only two wins in their last 12 games, has dashed their hopes of making the play-offs this season, leaving them nine points adrift of sixth place with just 12 points left to play for.
Despite the setback, Slimane remains optimistic, highlighting the team's commitment to finishing the current season positively and preparing for a stronger performance in the next campaign. He underlines the players' pride and dedication to delivering results for the fans, acknowledging that while the top-six target may be out of reach this season, they will continue to push hard in the remaining matches.
Looking ahead, Norwich faces Portsmouth and Millwall in upcoming fixtures, with Slimane emphasizing the team's ambition to establish themselves as a top contender in the league. The midfielder stresses the importance of learning from their experiences and maintaining a positive outlook to build towards a more successful future.
