Stoke Manager Pelach Expresses Contentment with QPR Draw

Following a challenging away draw, Stoke head coach Narcís Pèlach spoke to BBC’s Mark Elliott. Stoke City manager Narcis Pelach stated his satisfaction with securing a point after his team’s 1-1 draw against Queens Park Rangers. This result extends The Potters’ unbeaten streak to four matches, during which they have accumulated eight points from a possible 12. Pelach, the Spanish coach, conveyed his pleasure with this progress, which has elevated his side into the top half of the Championship table. Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke, “I’m pleased with the point because I know how difficult it is to compete in every single game in the Championship.” He elaborated on the match, stating, “We went to play QPR away and it was about standing up and competing very well – we knew they were going to put pressure on us.” He further added, “They have a lot of need but I think we showed the same and this is something very important to me because I want my team to value every single moment, every single game, every single point, and I think we showed that togetherness.” Concluding his remarks on the team’s effort, he stated, “We take the point and we go into the next one.” Late in the game, Bae Jun-Ho believed he had scored the decisive goal for the visiting team, but the goal was disallowed due to a handball. Pelach declined to comment extensively on this incident following the match. He explained his reluctance by adding, “I don’t want to go into it because it teaches my players a culture I don’t like.” He concluded his comments on the matter, stating, “I don’t want to go into the excuses game, it is what it is.”
