Andoni Iraola believes they are still far from reaching the Champions League and must continue to perform well

After Bournemouth completed their first Premier League double against Southampton, Bournemouth fans who travelled to St Mary's Stadium began to look forward to the Champions League. However, the team's coach, Andoni Iraola, refused to be blinded by the outside world's enthusiasm, emphasizing that the team still needs to stay focused and not look to the future too early.

With Dango Ouattara's 14th-minute goal, Ryan Christie's wonderful goal and Marcus Tavernier's goal, Bournemouth beat Southampton 3-1 away. This victory allowed them to jump to fifth place in the Premier League standings, surpassing Chelsea on goal difference, and temporarily surpassing Newcastle, approaching the Champions League zone.

Despite the team's high ranking, Iraola remained calm. He said: "I think (entering the Champions League) is still a long way away from us. We still need to get a lot of points. The reality will not be clear until the end of the season. Now is not the time."

"We have to keep performing well. If we can continue this good form, maybe when there are five or six games left in the league, we can still be competitive. At the moment, we are still working hard, there are more than a third of the season to play, and our focus is still on the next week, not thinking further ahead."
