Daniel Farke can set Leeds United at ease with repeat of 'patient' Krasnodar message

Daniel Farke's appointment at Leeds United brings with it two Championship promotions and much needed title winning experience at the helm. Whites' supporters were made to bide their time until the 46-year-old was unveiled at Elland Road but they've finally got their man.

Despite five years at the Canaries, the inner workings of Farke are somewhat unknown - at least in Yorkshire. The general view that the German will instil a gegenpress approach at Leeds may not be as straight forward as people think.

Farke strayed away from his Norwich City high press at Borussia Monchengladbach and tried to instil possession based football with round pegs in round holes. Leeds should be more acquitted to Farke's usual style of play, but it's a message from his time at Krasnodar that shines some light on his early approach at Thorp Arch.
