The Swansea City striker last netted against Crystal Palace at the Liberty back in March – a run that is becoming as frustrating for him as it is for the fans.<\/p>\n
Pintado netted one of the great strikes on Tuesday long after a linesman’s flag had ruled it out but hopes to change all of this against high flying Nottingham Forest on Saturday at the Liberty<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Evening Post, Pintado said<\/p>\n
“It has been very frustrating because I haven’t scored yet,” says Pintado.<\/p>\n
“But you can’t let it get to you and affect your confidence, otherwise it will be even more difficult.<\/p>\n
“I know the fans will be frustrated, but I want them to know that it will come soon.<\/p>\n
“I am a confident player. I have a good record in my career.<\/p>\n
“I’ve never had a run like this in my career \u2014 it is a long time without a goal \u2014 but they will come.<\/p>\n
“I am working hard for that moment. In training I am scoring as normal, but for some reason it hasn’t happened on the pitch.<\/p>\n
“Against Plymouth I managed to score \u2014 it was probably my best shot this season, but I was offside. It was so unlucky because I think it was a close decision.<\/p>\n
“That is my luck at the moment, but it won’t be like that for long.<\/p>\n
“I want to score as soon as possible, but the most important thing is the team.<\/p>\n
“So long as the team is winning, that is the main thing.<\/p>\n
“It is not my decision to set the formation, but we have good options,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We can play with one striker, which means more players need to support in the final third, or two, which gives us more attacking options in the box.<\/p>\n
“It means we are not predictable, and the players don’t know what the manager will do with selection either.<\/p>\n
“Also, up front we have players who do different things. It is better for the manager and the team that we have strikers with different characteristics.<\/p>\n
“This will help us a lot this season.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
