DANIEL FARKE: IT’S ABOUT FINDING THE BACK OF THE NET - Leedsunited.com 4/9/23
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke spoke exclusively to LUTV following Saturday’s draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road.
The Whites were held to a 0-0 stalemate in the Sky Bet
Championship in the first Yorkshire derby of the season.
Leeds boss Farke was left frustrated his side couldn’t
capitalise on good chances made throughout the match.
“We are disappointed,” said Farke. “It’s a bit of the same
story, we won each statistic, dominated the game and did enough to win the
game, but it’s not about statistics, it’s just about finding the back of the
net. We created more than enough against a deep sitting opponent, in order to
win the game, so the outcome of just one point is a disappointing feeling. Goals
change games and we have to find the opener.
“You can’t say anything against our approach as we brought
ourselves into really good finishing positions. If a team parks the bus like
Sheffield Wednesday tried and to take time away and slow the game down, then
it’s not easy.
“When I think about our situations with Georginio Rutter in
the first half one-against-one in the first half, Joel Piroe in a free shooting
position from 18 yards, nine times out of 10 he scores. In the second half,
Crysencio Summerville one-against-one, Georginio again one-against-one, Luke
Ayling’s free header, I could go on like this.
“You need to find the goal and then the opponent has to open
everything and then you can score three, four or five goals and everyone speaks
about it being fantastic football.
