Rangers manager Philippe Clement has issued a challenge to Cyriel Dessers, urging him to enhance his overall game performance.
Dessers has faced scrutiny from a significant portion of Rangers fans since his transfer from Cremonese in Italy last summer. Despite facing criticisms, the Nigerian striker has maintained a consistent scoring record.
In the recent 3-1 victory against Hibernian, Dessers netted his 16th goal of the season, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. However, Clement believes there is room for improvement and wants Dessers to elevate his game to a higher level.
Clement emphasized the importance of strikers contributing more than just goals to the team. He stressed the need for players to be versatile and contribute in various aspects of the game, not just scoring goals.
“It’s more important to have a team where everyone can score. That’s much more difficult to stop,” Clement stated in an interview with the Rangers Review. He highlighted the team’s diverse scoring capabilities, with goals coming from different positions on the field.
Clement’s philosophy revolves around a collective effort in scoring, ensuring that the team’s attack is not reliant on one individual. He aims for a dynamic style of play where goals can come from different players, making it challenging for opponents to defend against.
The manager’s words serve as motivation for Dessers and the entire team to continue improving and contributing effectively in all aspects of the game, creating a more formidable and unpredictable attacking force on the field.
