Aberdeen Boss Jimmy Thelin Reflects on Unbeaten Streak
Aberdeen’s manager, Jimmy Thelin, has guided the team to an impressive 12 wins out of 12 matches, making them the only team in the top-50 European leagues with a flawless record this season. Thelin, however, remains cautious and emphasizes that despite their success, they have not achieved anything significant yet. While other big clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona have suffered defeats or draws, Aberdeen has maintained a perfect winning streak.
Thelin acknowledges the achievement of being Europe’s form team but stresses the importance of staying humble and focusing on the next game rather than basking in past victories. The upcoming clash against Hearts is crucial for the Reds as they aim for a 13th consecutive win at a sold-out Pittodrie stadium.
Regarding Alan Shearer’s comments suggesting Aberdeen could challenge for the Premiership title, Thelin downplays the speculation, highlighting that it’s still early in the season with 32 games left to play. He remains focused on accumulating points in the upcoming matches rather than getting ahead of themselves.
In a positive development for Aberdeen, assistant first-team coach Peter Leven has decided to remain at the club despite interest from St Johnstone. Leven’s commitment reflects the strong environment within the team, with Thelin expressing his satisfaction with the coaching staff’s dedication and loyalty.
Looking ahead to the match against Hearts, Thelin stresses the need for complete preparation despite their current lead in the league table. Hearts, who recently changed managers and ended a losing streak with a victory in the Uefa Conference League, pose a challenge for Aberdeen. Thelin emphasizes the importance of being fully prepared for the upcoming game and not getting ahead of themselves in terms of the league standings.
As Aberdeen continues its remarkable winning streak, Thelin’s leadership and the team’s collective effort have propelled them to the top of the Premiership. The focus remains on maintaining their form, staying grounded, and approaching each game with determination and focus. The clash against Hearts will be a test of Aberdeen’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure, with Thelin leading the team with a sense of caution and optimism for the challenges ahead.
