Manager reaction to Leeds draw

Last updated : 06 August 2023 By Michael Morris

Leeds manager Daniel Farke:

"To be honest I'm really disappointed in the end. When you judge the game in an obvious way, by looking at the statistics, it's a scandal that we didn't win the game. In the second half in particular, there was only one team playing and chasing for everything.

"It was looking like a power play at times, but we just couldn't get the second goal we were looking for. I just have to praise and compliment the lads, though. They've all put in a terrific shift. For us to go and equalise in the 95th minute after taking so many things in the neck, well, that just shows the character out there. It was a really important point for the confidence and the spirit, and we have to move on to the next game positively."

Cardiff's Erol Bulut:

"I think the draw was a fair result for us. We managed the pressure in the second half really well, but when you concede a goal just after half-time and then one at 90+5, you're never going to like it, and I don't like it.

"We played against a really good Leeds team. Individually they are very, very good, and they did put us under a lot of pressure in that second half. The atmosphere was great, too, and you expect that at the big games in this division. The result, though, with the way it was at one point, we have to be happy."
