Daniel Farke has been impressed by Leeds United’s pre-season campaign with just one week to go until the competitive action gets underway. The Whites host newly promoted Portsmouth at Elland Road next Saturday and will be keen to get off to the best possible start.
The German head coach believes Leeds are in stronger position this year heading into the campaign, with his players already aware of how he wants his side to set-up.
“The good thing during this pre-season is that the lads who were involved last season already know a lot about our football, but we also want to be a lot more flexible in our base formation, so what we do during the games,” Farke told Leeds United after the win over Valencia.
“This was quite important and to try to integrate the new players. Also, to work on the fitness levels and many things. We’re on a good path. The real stuff starts and sadly there’s no points for five wins in pre-season.
