Thatas what weare concentrating on. aIs it as black and white as that? Yes, since thatas been the goal for the summer season. We wanted to go as far as we will in every tournaments and attempt to gain anything. Weave not been able to accomplish this and so the only thing we have left to play for is a Champions League place. Itas only going to be always a mill until the end of the period and I believe it will fall to the final game. Weare going to take to our best to make sure we concentrate on the class we've. We canat get a grip on such a thing other than that.a Villas-Boas is confident that Defoe and Lennon can return for the game against City at White Hart Lane, while Bale is facing a race to be healthy after suffering an ankle injury in the initial leg with Basle. Spursas lack of targeting choices were brutally uncovered at St Jakob-Park, with Emmanuel Adebayor creating a unsatisfactory performance which culminated in his dreadful place kick in the shoot-out. But Adebayor has defended his penalty and accepted the force of the occasion would have got to him. aI have taken penalties for Arsenal, I've taken penalties for Real Madrid so itas a chance. You miss or you score,a he said. aYou give everything you've in your stomach and you are tired, then you've to get a penalty. You play with 10 males for the last half an hour and on top of this you've to take a fee and the pressure will there be when you take the ball.a
