The Swansea City striker was looking ahead to the crunch game against Doncaster at the Liberty and believes that the longer the game remains goalless the better for the Swans as it may lull Blackpool into a false sense of security.
Kuqi told Wales on Sunday “I will take a goal in the last five minutes of the game as long as Blackpool and Bristol City draw.
“The fans could get a bit nervous, but in my opinion the longer our game goes on at 0-0 the better it will be for us.
“If we score early then Blackpool will know and start thinking they have to go for it.
“But if it stays at 0-0 with us it will give us more of a chance, because they will start to think that a draw could be enough for them.
“Then if we score in the last few minutes they have less time to win.
“Everyone is cool and calm,” explained the striker. “We know we have a job to do.
“Our team should be very proud because we have achieved a lot already this season.
“Of course it is very disappointing to have gone the majority of the season in the play-off positions and then to drop out before the final game of the season.
“We are relying on someone else and that is very difficult to take.
“But we have a job to do and hopefully the rest will take care of itself.
“We hope that something goes for us for the first time this season. It has been a tough season for us.
“We’ve played really well, but we have never got anything.
“Look at last Saturday at Sheffield United. We could have had a penalty and the game could have been different.
“I thought we played really well last weekend, the best away game we have played since I have been at Swansea. But we didn’t get anything.
“Sometimes you play well and get nothing and other times you play badly and come away with a win.
“Sheffield United had nothing to play for, but you can see no team likes to lose.
“Every player needs something, whether it be a new contract or to impress the new manager, players want to secure their place for next season.
“Doncaster have nothing to worry about, but they are not going to be easy.
“I have played in England for 10 years and I know how harsh the Championship can be.
“Every year something happens on the last day, it has never been straightforward.”
