Leicestershire’s most recent news about Leicester CityLive from Elland Road on Friday as Enzo Maresca’s Foxes take on fierce rivals Leeds
The preparation strategy for Leeds United’s pivotal Championship matchup with Leicester City has been made public by Daniel Farke.
On Friday night, Enzo Maresca’s Foxes will visit Elland Road for a contest that might significantly affect the Championship’s promotion and title fight. Leicester leads the table by nine points over Leeds, therefore a win would put them twelve points ahead of Farke’s team; a loss would close the deficit to six points.
Before taking on the Foxes, Leeds has played five games in fifteen days, with just one of those games being played at home. In the FA Cup and league, they have had to go to Plymouth twice. They have also visited Swansea and Bristol City. Farke, the Leeds manager, described it as “a bit crazy.” It’s common knowledge that a short week occurs when there are just six or five days between games in nearly every other nation or league.
“Yes, the Championship is a tough league to play in. I mentioned that the Premier League is arguably the greatest league in the world and that consistency is key to winning the Championship. This is what we are now displaying.
He continued, “There was a lot of travelling, so we need to lighten the weight a little bit right now, both physically and mentally. “I doubt that any other region in Western Europe has travelled farther in the past few weeks than we have.
“It’s unbelievable, but we have no control over it. We must remember that we have a very youthful team, with one of the youngest starting lineups in the entire Championship and unquestionably the youngest starting lineup in the top spots in the standings.
They are under a lot of pressure, both mental and physical, so it’s critical that you identify times when you can let go of some of the pressure and mental load because our expectations are high. This is especially true when you exhibit such consistency and maturity.
