Concerns about Sporting Cristal’s lack of goal

The lack of goal in Sporting Cristal is a concern. Against Peñarol, the team created opportunities, but failed to score. In fact, Alfredo Ramúa confessed to Depor that the Celestes are dominators of the game, but still struggle with the finishing. What to do? The 'Chapu' answers.

After the debut in the Copa Libertadores, what feeling did you have?
We are calm because the team is playing well and, above all, generating goal opportunities, although we are missing a lot in front of the goal. But I know that in one game they will all go in and we won't stop. It's just a matter of confidence.

Are you worried about the lack of goal?
Definitely, because it's the only thing we are missing to win the games. However, we are also calm because we were superior to all our opponents and did what was necessary to win.

Is there anxiety when shooting at the goal?
Yes, and it’s normal because we always want to win at home. We have to work on this aspect because we cannot afford to drop more points at home. We will soon overcome this situation. Fans should not be alarmed: this team is giving everything.

Do you feel more comfortable in away games?
In Arequipa, we showed that with spaces, there are more possibilities to calmly reach the goal. I believe that in the Copa Libertadores, we can gather a lot of points in away games and aim for qualification to the next round.

Are you taking more set-piece shots? Is Lobatón giving you chances?
That is due to his tiredness. I came in fresh and had the chance to make the assist. He and I take turns to surprise the opposing goalkeeper. Teamwork is what will allow us to get back on track.
