Title tilt has been in Longelo's mind from start
Emmanuel Longelo's determination to aim for the top meant a title challenge was in his thoughts when he arrived at Motherwell last summer.Few others would have considered that a possibility but Motherwell can go seven points off the top of the Scottish Premiership when they take on Dundee in their game in hand at Dens Park on Saturday.Longelo's optimism is coupled with the awareness that he must focus on the task in hand rather than getting carried away with what might be possible come May."I thought I was coming into a good team, a good club with good morals, wonderful people," he said."Fighting for the league is something I had at the back of my mind. Obviously, you play to win. So I came up and set my targets."Expectations are just expectations. You've got to rise above it and reach for the ultimate goal."Winning on Saturday would give Motherwell the chance to move second when they travel to Celtic Park seven days later."It's a massive opportunity," Longelo said. "We want to be amongst the top. So we'll definitely go in there with full fight."We've got to be 100% focused on the game and get the job done because we know that we can't afford to drop any points."
