Leeds United Land on Premier League, But Baffling Outburst from Daniel Farke
Derby County was defeated 2-0 at Elland Road while the Leeds Unitedpieced a move back to the summit of the Championship table. The win witnessed through goals from Joe Rodon and Max Wober was clear indication of Leeds prowess at the Elland Road this seaso But the most memorable moment was an angry reaction from Daniel Farke after a bad pass by Pascal Struijk.
As the sources indicate, Farke was ‘hopping with rage’ when the second-half Struijk’s pass went way off side. The Leeds manager was clearly fuming mad, his team was 2-0 up and coasting home to a comfortable win. Sacrilege of the sort was expected from Farke, whose perfectionism does not allow his players to take it easy in any game.
Struijk has been a mainstay of the Leeds side and had not expected Farke to lose his temper. The Dutch defender has taking captaincy responsibilities whenever Ethan Ampadu has been unavailable and has developed a great partnership with Joe Rodon at the central defense position. Farke’s criticism, however, should be taken as a good reminder that no veteran player can be free from criticism.
Farke is an ambitious coach whose expectations are very high and will do all it takes to see his team succeed. Leeds will now be aiming to carry on progressing and keeping their charge on the highest position of the table when Middlesbrough travel to Elland Road next. One thing however is for sure – Farke will be expecting nothing but the best from his players.
