Daniel Farke, Leeds United manager, spoke openly after leading his team to a draw at Liverpool in the latest English Premier League match.
Daniel Farke, manager of the "Whites" Leeds United, expressed great pride in his team's performance following a 0-0 draw against the "Reds" Liverpool in the English Premier League last night.
At Anfield Stadium, Leeds, as the away team, defended resolutely, not allowing Liverpool easy chances to score. The Whites nearly secured a winning goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but it was ruled offside, ending the match with each team sharing one point.
Farke said, "Keeping a clean sheet and earning a point at Anfield is not something that happens often. We had to defend patiently because we were newly promoted and facing the reigning champions."
"But we played well. The players worked together defensively and did not let the opponent have clear scoring opportunities. Solid defending and maintaining a clean sheet is always important."
Regarding the next match against Manchester United, he said, "We will be without Ethan Ampadu after he received a yellow card today, but we must find a solution and recover as quickly as possible."
As a result of this draw, Leeds increased their total to 21 points, placing them 16th in the league table.
