Daniel Farke: I am pretty happy with the clean sheet

Leeds United head into the international break after the goalless draw with high-flying Brentford in the Premier League at Elland Road.

The Whites have picked up clean sheets in their two recent encounters with boss Daniel Farke praising his team’s defensive resolve after the full-time whistle.

“You could see that they are rock solid at the back, really good behaviour and they had many players on the pitch offensive wise, three really good footballers in midfield and up front players who played with confidence.

“I am pretty happy with the clean sheet, I am pretty happy that we controlled all their counter attacks. They are such a dangerous side out of counter attacks.

“In and around their box was of course missing a little bit but we are probably the only side who has played two times against Brentford who has dominated in both games in each and every statistic.

“It was still a tight game because they did not allow any clear-cut chances. We have to bring our mentality in, our fitness level in, our tactical flexibility to change a base formation to ask questions.

“We have tried everything today. We started the game more or less with two strikers and a number ten on the pitch. Later on, we even wanted to go a bit more risky of course because we sacrificed also a centre-back and brought a more offensive thinking player on.”
