Swansea City shot stopper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Vorm-c25482 has admitted that his team faces a tough Premier League opener against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
The Welsh club are yet to record their first win against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 at the Loftus Road Stadium. Their last two outings at the venue proved to be catastrophic affairs for them, losing out 3-0 at 4-0 respectively.
Given that the Swans will be without the services of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Joe Allen next season and the fact that they will be playing away from home, their term opener poses to be a challenging one for them.
However, the Dutch International was optimistic about his team’s chances of getting the better of their nemesis on Saturday, and felt that the club’s new signings can make the difference this time around.
He told the reporters in an interview, “It will be a tough one. Our last two results at QPR (3-0 and 4-0) have not been good for us… But I think we have a better squad than last season with the new boys around and we know what to expect.”
Despite their poor record against QPR, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup’s team will take heart from their impressive pre-season campaign. Last Saturday, they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Stuttgart, after overcoming a first half deficit of two goals.
Although Vorm was gutted at conceding 3 goals, he praised his team for making a remarkable comeback in the game. The 28-year old admitted that their performance in the first half was not up to the mark, but felt that there were still a lot of positives to
be picked up from the whole fixture.
He added, “Stuttgart are a very fit team with good players…It ended 3-3 with lessons to learn, but I also saw a lot of positives. Yes, we’ve got things to work on over the next week, but I believe we will be ready for QPR come Saturday.”
The goalkeeper, who has so far capped 37 competitive appearances for the Welsh outfit, is currently in Brussels on international duty, as Holland will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 in a friendly game in Brussels on Wednesday.
