All of the things Leeds United manager Daniel Farke had to say during his pre-match press conference before his team’s match against Preston North End this weekend.
After three straight victories by scores of 3-0, how is the club feeling this week?
“Obviously, you always start in a positive frame of mind following successful games and also extremely excellent
performances. It’s been helpful that there is a little bit more time in between games, giving players two days off at the
beginning of the week. After that, we started practicing with focus and determination in order to get ready for the
upcoming games.
What can the club take away from their two away losses to Preston and West Brom?
It’s the Championship, so when you play over three days, it’s normal that not everything goes your way. At this level,
you can lose games as well as draw them, but you can also lose games and when crucial moments in games go against
you, like at Preston, where we were able to equalize and go for the win, but sometimes it works out and they score a
wonder goal into the top corner in the ninetieth minute, which causes you to lose the match.
We should have had two penalties against West Brom before they even entered our half for the first time. They were
able to score from their almost only opportunity in the game, and you do not receive any penalties. It’s a solid team,
the second best in the league with us and an extremely strong defensive unit. In these kinds of games, you can lose.
Because you give the referee a decision to make, you have to make sure that every game at this level you are always
focused, play flawlessly, and don’t let your opponents play too many plays at once. My youngest boys in particular
need to learn from this, but there aren’t any big lessons or
“A courageous side They should aim to leave Elland Road with three points first, I predict. We must ensure that this
does not occur. We are confident that we are in good form, particularly when playing at home where we have
consistently produced results and demonstrated consistency in our performances. However, there is never a
guarantee that one will succeed in the next game, so we must be focused from the start. We also know that every
home victory has been impressive in the end, with numerous goals scored, but it always begins with putting in a shift and being clinical when using the opportunities; otherwise, it could be challenging.
