Leeds manager Daniel Farke has urged his players to be prepared for the worst in order to maintain their strong defensive record. The team is set to face Preston in a highly-anticipated Championship clash this Sunday, with the goal of securing a fourth consecutive clean sheet.
This achievement would mark the second time this season that Leeds has accomplished such a feat, a stark contrast to their defensive struggles in previous campaigns. The team’s recent defensive performances have also led to three consecutive 3-0 victories, instilling hope for a potential return to the Premier League.
Farke emphasized the importance of a defensive mindset and mentality, noting that their recent success has been more about mental preparation than tactical changes. The team’s focus on training and altering their mindset has led to a significant reduction in chances allowed and a stronger defensive presence.
By instilling a mindset of always expecting the worst and preparing for it, Leeds has been able to repair defensive situations and strengthen their overall performance. Despite some early setbacks in the season, Farke’s emphasis on defensive preparation has proven to be a key factor in the team’s recent success.
