Daniel Farke offers candid assessment of Leeds’ defending ahead of Cardiff City clash

Leeds United are coming off a 1-0 loss to promotional rival Burnley, dropping them outside the top six. Nonetheless, manager Daniel Farke highlighted the positives in this match, which he spotlighted during his press conference on Thursday.
Before the international break, the Whites were on a strong run, going unbeaten in their first four games with two wins and two draws. With both teams keen to keep up their push for automatic promotion, this game was crucial for Burnley and Leeds.
In a tightly contested match, the only goal came in the 18th minute, when Luca Koleosho took advantage of a defensive mishap to put Burnley ahead. They held onto that lead for the remainder of the game.

Despite being at the bottom of the Championship table, Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut and his team remain optimistic. The manager believes in his squad, pointing out that they’ve been creating scoring opportunities, even if they’re not seeing the results just yet.
“All of the other games, we had enough chances to lead the game or win, but football is like this. When opponents score and we don’t, and the results are how they have been, then you get pressure.”
