Luongo ‘has got the lot’ – Hasselbaink

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has told QPR’s website he believes Massimo Luongo could establish himself as a top midfielder if he can add goalscoring to his repertoire.

The Australian has been in excellent form this season, having responded to boss Hasselbaink’s insistence that he work harder off the ball.

Now Hasselbaink wants to see Luongo, who has yet to score for the R’s, start finding the net.

“Massimo has got the lot. He has energy, desire and he is a box-to-box player,” Hasselbaink said,

“If he could add goals to his game I believe you could compare him with some of the best midfielders. And that is something he needs to really try to add to his game.

“He is providing goals at the moment, which is great, and he needs to keep that going while adding his own goals. But it’s important we don’t try to force that.

“We need to get him more into the box, and then the ball will fall for him and the goals will come.”

Hasselbaink’s side, currently two points away from the play-off places, are away to Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.
