Daniel Farke draws a comparison between a Leeds player and Zinedine Zidane in response to his actions against Burnley – exposes Leeds United’s off-field efforts to resolve their Championship issues.
Daniel Farke thinks Leeds United’s set-piece work in the background will eventually result in goals.
Thanks in part to Pascal Struijk’s comeback, the Whites have posed a greater threat from dead balls this season than they did in the second half of the previous campaign. From several corners, the Dutchman has made the initial contact with the ball and has gone close to scoring, but he hasn’t yet found the net or the target.
Farke agrees that this term’s deliveries have improved, but he says his team’s height profile needs to be taken into account when analyzing their set-piece struggles.
“If you play with these type of players, you get magic and creativity but they rarely come from a set-piece,” he stated. “You get forward running, pace, goals, and assists when you play alongside Dan James. It is a fact that we do not have a team that is particularly strong in set pieces.
“But we want to be better because it’s an important topic. [When it comes to the takers] I was not happy how we took corners last season, I think we’re much improved. In the box, we always want to improve. Having Pascal back helps.”
When asked if he had considered appointing a specialist set-piece coach, Farke says Leeds are working extensively on scoring from dead balls in training and using the resources available to them off the pitch. He is certain that work is due to yield fruit because he sees his team trending in the right direction, with goals in pre-season and Struijk’s recent chances his proof.
