Leeds United: Falk defends position and makes Premier League commitments - "We re here for the good"

Leeds United head coach Daniel Falke aims to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Daniel Falke said he had no need to prove anything and he was ready to lead Leeds United in his last Champions League game and possibly even win the championship.

The already upgraded Leeds United will challenge Plymouth away on Saturday, knowing that they can win the championship. Currently, Leeds United and Burnley have 97 points, but the goal difference is obviously the best.

Falke's team has won praise for its stability and offensive style, but the coach's future has been questioned in recent weeks.

Although ensuring automatic promotion, there have been questions about his results in the Premier League after Norwich relegated and his brief play at Mönchengladbach.

But Falke acted calmly as always when asked Friday if he had anything to say to the skeptic.

nothing. I don't feel like I need to defend anything, or defend myself. I just want to build this club in the Premier League.

If anyone thinks I'm not the right person, then maybe they're right. I will not defend myself, I am just looking back on my achievements in coaching career... I am frank, I will not doubt myself.

Falke led Norwich to win the English Championship twice, but due to limited resources in the top league, he said Leeds United will be more powerful this time. The German coach is reportedly already working on Leeds United's transfer wish list.

"(Previously against Norwich), we almost knew that we had no chance. We wanted to be a mature Premier League team."

The German coach witnessed a sharp change in results and atmosphere at the Elland Road Stadium. He noted that the cultural shift was one of the biggest victories in the past two years.

"Two years ago, there was a big gap between fans and players. The club was united and always succeeded, and we worked hard for it."

"Now, it is very important to return to the Premier League and get good results."

Falke stressed that a "top summer" is needed to ensure Leeds United is ready for the upgrade and said that the club must "be accurate in every decision".

"It's not just the players, we need to improve the coaching staff and training ground so that we can have a reasonable budget and find the right goals. If we find the right goals, then we need to make sure we can achieve the goals."

So will Leeds United achieve more results this season?

97 points? We could have gotten more. Considering all our opportunities, we should have scored 100 points, or even more than 100 points. There are always some places to improve, but I think we should all be satisfied. ”

The victory at home will bring Leeds United's points to triple digits and win a trophy to help them advance. Falk does not underestimate this.

"We know we still have 48 hours of work to do, and of course, we hope to achieve as good results as possible. The main task has been completed and we advance to the Premier League and no one can take it away. "

" Of course, it would be better if there were some silverware, you could lift something and drink it with it!

Burnley has performed equally well this season, and both sides deserve the championship. Plymouth performed well in the last game and if the pressure is gone, I believe they will try to maintain good momentum and welcome the new season. Of course, we want a championship.
