The Cifuentes effect brings hope to the legendary Queens Park Rangers

There are times when the arrival of a coach revitalizes a team. Others, no. But an example of the first is the signing of Spanish coach Martí Cifuentes for Queens Park Rangers, a legendary team in England that is trying to return to the football elite. Thus, in just six games, Cifuentes' new QPR has achieved three victories, two draws and one defeat. That is, in six games it has achieved 11 points, which is three more (8) than QPR had in the previous 14 games without Martí. The 'Cifuentes effect', therefore, is clear.

More information his Queens Park Rangers has scored nine goals while in the previous 14 games he only scored 10. Martí already managed to get Queens Park Rangers to win a game after 12 consecutive games without winning, which was a turning point in their bad season until then.

The 4-2 win against Stoke City marked Queens Park Rangers' first home victory since March 11 and the second since October 22, 2022. It had already rained for this traditional London team. That same victory also marked Queens Park Rangers' first comeback since October 7, 2022 and the first game with four goals in favor since January 29, 2022.

In addition, the victories against Stoke City, Preston and Hull City have represented the first time that Queens Park Rangers has won three games in a row since October 2022. Martí is the Queens Park Rangers coach who has scored the most points (11) in his first six League games since the 2008-2009 season.

The present challenges

Tonight they will have a new test against Plymouth Argyle at home to try to get the team out of the bottom positions, since Queens Park Rangers is second to last in the table, two points from fourth from bottom, which marks salvation.
