Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits he is grateful for the international break with his side having claimed just one win in their last six games.
The Premier League champions had to thank Sergio Aguero for rescuing a point in a 2-2 draw at QPR – a result which leaves City trailing leaders Chelsea by eight points.
"This team demonstrated that we are fighting," Pellegrini said. "That we are not lacking trust or energy. We are in a very unlucky moment.
"We are not playing very very well but I think we had enough chances to win this game.
"(It was) exactly the same against West Ham. That was our last (league) defeat where the goalkeeper was their best player.
"So I think these 15 days will be very useful to us to return to our normal style of play but we are in a very unlucky moment."
The draw left City trailing Chelsea, but Pellegrini added: "I am not worried about Chelsea.
"Chelsea is in a very good moment and we will see if they continue that moment until the end of the year.
"There are a lot more games to play."
