After suffering a defeat at the hands of Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers manager Marti Cifuentes expressed his thoughts on the strong performance of their opponents. With a winless streak of 11 matches, the loss to Leeds only adds to the challenging time for Cifuentes’ team.
Missing key players like Ilias Chair, Karamoko Dembele, and Jack Colback, QPR struggled to pose a threat to Leeds throughout the match. Despite an early goal from Jayden Bogle, it wasn’t until the dying minutes that Joel Piroe sealed the victory for Leeds.
Reflecting on the game, Cifuentes acknowledged the superior quality of Leeds, describing them as a ‘very good’ team with an impressive style of play. He emphasized the importance of a near-perfect defensive performance against such strong opposition, while also highlighting the need for accuracy in creating scoring opportunities.
Despite the current difficulties faced by QPR, Cifuentes has shown his capability as a manager, leading the team to a successful finish in the previous season. Looking ahead, Norwich manager Farke believes in Cifuentes’ ability to turn things around and propel QPR to a higher position in the league table. With injuries affecting their squad, the team is expected to improve as the season progresses.
