Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves has praised his side's focus as they look to secure promotion back to the Premier League this season.
The Midlands side are currently top of the Championship table with a six-point advantage over Cardiff City in second place and a 13-point lead over third-placed Fulham heading into the final eight games of the season.
Over the last week Wolves have managed back-to-back home wins, first defeating Reading last Wednesday before claiming a 3-1 victory over Burton Albion on Saturday.
"It was a very good win for us," Neves told reporters after their most recent game. "We know Burton came to Molineux to win points, they need points, but we did a very good job. It was really cold but the team are focused and the weather doesn't matter for us – we just play. Fortunately we can play good and win the game on Saturday.
"We are focused on our game. We had some bad results before but we bounced back really good. We showed we're focused on our Championship. We think game by game. We have a lot of work to do and we're focused. Now we will enjoy our international break and come back again to do the same.
"It's a good time [for the break]. We won the last two games so we have to enjoy, to rest and after we'll come back stronger. I'm happy with [not resting]! I'm really happy to go to the national team and help my country and work with some very good players, the best player in the world. I will enjoy it and come back and do my best for Wolverhampton. It's my job, I have to work to do it well. Fortunately I can go to the national team and I'll enjoy it."
Wolves next travel to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough on March 30.
