00:00Leeds United drew 0-0 with Manchester United in a strange pre-season friendly match between two rivals with Daniel Farker reflecting on the result.
00:10Yes, good, solid first test, compliments to the lad for a really good performance in the first game.
00:18I'm just completely happy if we win games and I also want this attitude.
00:23No, no, we're not just happy with the draw, although it was more or less a little bit of an away game against Man United.
00:28I want to win such a game, but in the last two weeks it was more like about the physical foundations, also to integrate a few new lads.
00:36I think also today to find a good balance in the first and the second half to introduce some new faces,
00:43to find good balance between having more or less experienced older players who were with us and then the new signings.
00:51I think for that was a really good first half.
00:53We had many periods where we dominated, also possession perhaps even the better chance in the first half.
00:58Second half, I would have preferred a bit more control and a bit more possession, but we looked so, so strong on the counter-attack.
01:05Our set-up was a bit more on counter-attack, so I would say 80 minutes was this game on a top level from our side and we had the better chances.
01:15And Bradford City's warm-weather training camp has come to its conclusion,
01:19with the Bantams winning 7-1 in what was an emphatic victory at the end of the week.
01:25Graham Alexander described the time that they had away as good for their progress.
01:31Yeah, really good performance from the players.
01:33I thought the way we approached it was really important to us and we don't know what the opponent's going to bring.
01:39We don't know them as a team, but we prepared in the right way and I thought the team attacked it.
01:46Half-time's important for us because we're, what was it, 3-4-1.
01:50I wanted to see how our mentality went into the second half.
01:53Do we start taking it easy and messing about or do we carry on the way we want to play week in, week out?
01:59And that's what I saw from the team.
02:01Made changes after an hour and everyone's worked hard this week, exceptionally hard, you know,
02:05and they came into the game fatigued, but the energy levels were good.
02:09I've looked at the data, that's really strong, so good end to the week.
