Marti Cifuentes showed his support for Zan Celar after the striker’s tough debut for QPR. Despite the team’s 3-1 loss to West Brom, Cifuentes believes Celar needs time to adjust to English football, especially without much service from his teammates.
According to Cifuentes, it’s common for players to require an adaptation period when transitioning to a new league, and facing a strong and aggressive team like West Brom made it even more challenging for Celar. The head coach highlighted Celar’s strengths inside the box but emphasized the importance of having supportive partners on the field, which Celar lacked during his time on the pitch.
The defeat against West Brom served as a reality check for Cifuentes, who has been cautious about managing expectations after steering QPR away from relegation last season. He stressed the competitiveness of the league and the need for humility and hard work to succeed in the long term.
Looking ahead, Cifuentes and his team will need to regroup and focus on improving their performance to achieve their goals for the season. Despite the setback, the head coach remains optimistic that the experience gained from facing tough opponents will benefit the team in the future.
As QPR continues their season, Cifuentes will be working closely with Celar and the rest of the squad to ensure they are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. With determination and a strong work ethic, the team aims to overcome obstacles and strive for success in the demanding Championship league.
