Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is adamant about the necessity of having a Plan B in the Championship, a viewpoint that sets him at odds with Marcelo Bielsa’s approach.
Following a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Burnley in their last match, Leeds struggled to break through their opponent’s defense under Farke’s guidance.
While Bielsa maintains that a successful initial strategy should be able to prevail against any team, Farke believes in the need for adaptability and flexibility in the face of adversity, as evidenced by the Burnley game.
Farke emphasized the importance of being able to switch tactics when necessary, particularly in challenging matches where the opposition is proving difficult to break down. Despite Bielsa’s steadfast commitment to his original plan, Farke recognizes that adjustments may be needed to secure victory.
Looking ahead, it remains to be seen whether Farke can find an effective way to turn the tide in games where Leeds find themselves struggling, a skill that will be crucial in their pursuit of success in the Championship.
