QPR boss on scoring problems ahead of Norwich City trip
QPR has been struggling defensively, conceding more goals than any other team in the league, while also struggling to score with just 11 goals in 16 games. Despite these challenges, new manager Marti Cifuentes is optimistic and believes that the team has the potential to improve and score more goals. In the two games since Cifuentes took charge, QPR managed to score just one goal, but the manager feels that they could have scored more. He is confident in the quality of his players, particularly the strikers, and believes that they have the ability to score goals.
However, so far this season, the main strikers have only managed to score two goals between them, with the leading scorer being left-back Kenneth Paal. Cifuentes believes that the team can spread the goal-scoring responsibility across multiple players, rather than relying solely on the strikers. He is focused on creating game scenarios that will allow the players to showcase their abilities and score goals. Cifuentes believes that the way the team defends is closely linked to their ability to attack, and he is working on building relationships between all the players on the team. He has noticed certain connections forming between players, such as Ilias and Kenneth Paal, and is working to find a good balance between the main idea and the emergence of these relationships.
Cifuentes emphasizes the dominance of the attacking part of the game in his team’s way of thinking, and he is focused on enhancing the team’s attacking capabilities. He is determined to improve QPR’s goal-scoring record by creating a strong bond between all the players on the team, and by finding the right balance between the main idea and the natural relationships that emerge between players. Overall, Cifuentes is optimistic about the team’s potential to improve and score more goals as the season progresses.
