Cyriel Dessers joined Rangers from Cremone this summer and despite a difficult start, he scored five goals in his first 19 games for the club.
Super Eagles striker Kriliel Kolawole Dessers has responded to some of the criticism he has faced since joining Rangers from Italy’s Serie A, reports Soccernet.ng Ta.
The Nigerian striker joined Rangers from Cremona in August for a fee of around £4.3 million, but had a slow start to life in Scotland.
The 28-year-old scored his third league goal after scoring in Rangers’ 5-0 win over Dundee F.C. He had been replaced. He has received a lot of criticism, but he wants to score more goals.
However, the striker, who scored 20 goals for Feyenoord in the 2021/2022 season, admitted that he is starting to get used to life in Glasgow, far from his critics.
The striker said that some criticism is misplaced and unfair because not many people understand his history and origins.
“Some of the reactions even make me laugh. Firstly, I think a lot of people underestimate what it’s like to move to another country. This season I don’t think my results are bad, but I don’t think they’re great either.Before the season I set myself the goal of scoring 25 goals, so I’m on the right track in that respect,” the striker said He said this in words published in the Daily Record.
Additionally, the striker feels he is new to the level of Scottish football and admits he is not yet at his best.
“I have not yet reached my best. I am working hard every day towards it.” As far as the overall level is concerned, the Belgian and Dutch competitions are also better than the Scottish competitions . Serie A is on a different level, but there are very few easy games here,” the former Genk strikeradded.
The Nigerian scored his third league goal on Wednesday and is on track to reach his goal of 25 goals by the end of the season.
