Huddersfield’s Premier League relegation could be confirmed this weekend, but boss Jan Siewert still refuses to dwell on the prospect.
The Terriers’ return to the Sky Bet Championship will be sealed on Saturday if they lose at Crystal Palace and Burnley and Southampton both win.
“I am not thinking about it. I don’t think like this,” said Siewert, whose side have lost 16 of their last 18 league matches.
“Nothing changes for us. We have a game this weekend and we can win this game.
“Why should we talk about something which is not important concerning the next game? It’s important to go there to prepare for winning.”
“I’m always focusing on the future, of course, because we have to have a long-term (plan) as a club and me as a manager,” he said.
“I’m always making decisions because I pick those players who I am convinced can win the next game.
“But still it’s about every weekend at the moment and this weekend we’re going to play the next opponent and we’ll prepare so we can try and get something from it.”
Siewert said he will not even have one eye on Burnley’s home game against Wolves or Southampton’s trip to Brighton.
“I always focus on my game,” he added. “I prepare on the task given us. I don’t care what happens on the other pitch.”
