It will be a hard game if you think about winning a championship. We need to think about our own game at the moment and focus on getting good results especially over the Christmas period.

Bergkamp is cautioning against outcome-obsession in elite sport. Thinking constantly about “winning a championship” can distract players from the controllable elements—decision-making, execution, and preparation in the next match. His emphasis on “our own game at the moment” reflects a process-focused mentality: performance is built through accumulating good results and habits rather than chasing a distant title. The reference to the “Christmas period” points to a notoriously congested stretch in English football, when fatigue, squad rotation, and mental focus often determine league momentum. The quote frames success as the product of disciplined attention to immediate tasks under pressure.
