Six goals from Leeds United in their final tune-up before Wolverhampton Wanderers turned up the heat, but a dressing-room warning was still needed from Jesse Marsch. The Whites had five minutes of madness during which Cagliari scored twice with all too familiar goals on the break and the head coach had words post-match.
Marsch is aware opposition counter-attacks are a problem that have needed remedying this summer, but on Sunday his attention during those concessions was with Robin Koch. The Germany international had needed treatment and was limping, which left the team a little exposed for the goals.
“It was a good performance,” said Marsch. “In the first half, we were creating a lot and not really capitalising on some situations and in the second half, it was good to add up some more goals and give our team confidence.
