Playing an important role in keeping a clean sheet in Leeds United’s draw with Crystal Palace was defender Tarik Muharemović, winning several duels and tackles to ensure the Whites remain unbeaten going into the international break.
Neither team were able to break the deadlock at Elland Road, meaning Daniel Farke’s side have taken nine points from their first five matches of the new campaign.
“Obviously, we are happy with the point, with the clean sheet,” the 23-year-old told LUTV after the full-time whistle. “At the end, we are still unbeaten in the Premier League.
“We can go happy to the international break but still we know we can do much, much better. I think it was obviously not one of the best games we played but we all know also this can happen in football.
“We will keep going and show even more of our qualities. Look, obviously, I wish I could win every game. So, I wish I could take every week three points.
“I know that is football. We have to take it. For a football player, it is always better to have all three points. Today it is how it is.”
Muharemović now heads away with his native Bosnia and Herzegovina in the upcoming break. Having joined the club in the summer, the commanding centre-half took a moment to reflect on his progress with the Whites so far.
“Since the first day I arrived, the team, and especially the staff and all the people in the background, they really welcomed me I think in the best way. I really feel good here.
“I love to be here, especially in such a stadium with such fans. I love to train every day so I just want to work harder and to ensure what I can do together with my teammates to win as many games as possible.
“When I do a slide tackle, it is really nice. All the emotions come out. I love to do it with the fans and especially with such fans we have, it is even better.
“It is maybe also good to have a bit break off the Premier League but if I am honest, I really enjoy to play here. Since I arrived, every game, it is unbelievable the atmospheres at home especially but also in the away games.”
