Farke's team has had a good start to the season, sitting in 12th place after six games. They have won two matches, and Farke credits their performances for the strong start. He notes that they have not won any points due to luck, and they could have had more points if not for some unlucky losses.
Farke is pleased that Leeds are flying under the radar, avoiding the spotlight and pressure that comes with being a popular team. He believes this allows everyone connected to the club to enjoy the moment without getting overly excited. Farke emphasizes that the team needs to continue working hard to achieve their goals, and they must not get complacent.
Tottenham, on the other hand, has had a strong start to the season under manager Thomas Frank. Frank's teams are known for their intensity and strong structure on the field. They play with a high level of intensity and press their opponents well. Frank's attention to detail, including set pieces and throw-ins, also sets his teams apart.
Frank's teams are also able to rotate their players, which allows them to maintain a high level of performance even when they have multiple games in a short period. This ability to grind out results is a key factor in their success. Frank's teams are also known for their good mentality and spirit, which allows them to come back from difficult situations and find a way to win.
Farke does not believe that Leeds have an advantage over Tottenham, even though they played in Norway on Tuesday. He jokes that Tottenham's mode of transportation, which involves a private jet and chefs, makes recovery easier.
Farke provided some updates on his team's injury situation, confirming that Dan James will be out for 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury. Wilfried Gnonto will also miss the game with a calf strain, while Lucas Perri is back in team training. Harry Gray will be available for the game after reporting some hip flexor issues.
