Wright said this after watching strikers missing easy chances during the Carling Black Label Cup against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
“It comes down to how much you want to practice in respect of your own finishing,” Wright told the Daily Sun.
“I finished every day after practice – finish with my left foot and my right foot. There is so much that goes into it. To just sit and say the guys are not scoring enough goals, it’s quite a damning thing to say for me personally.
“I concentrated on hitting the target even in training. I never messed around at any stage to miss the target. So, it’s not something that you all of a sudden start producing the players that can score goals, but it’s up to the players themselves to want to get better, watch the best,” added Wright.
“See which midfielders you’ve got around you and it’s up to the coaches to make sure they can get the ball into areas where forwards can score goals,” concluded the English legend.
