Daniel Farke answers “difficult” question on 22-y/o Marcelo Bielsa signing

 Daniel Farke answers Joe Gelhardt question with lengthy response

Among those players, Joe Gelhardt is arguably the most noticeable. He joined the senior team under Marcelo Bielsa in 21/22, but his impact on the team’s performance in the Premier League and Championship has gradually decreased over the years.

He is experiencing the same problems under Daniel Farke in terms of playing time and opportunities at a position that plays to his skills; he has only started once this season, but he is encouragingly on the right flank, where he may be more effective.

In general, maintaining players’ motivation is one of the hardest aspects of your work. Every gamer desires to play at all times. There are instances when players believe they are criticized excessively or play in the incorrect position. As a result, you may have two or three players in your squad who are completely satisfied with you, while the other 23 or 25 players are more or less in the “I want to bite my manager in the neck” category.

“I aim to instill spirit and solidarity. Give it your all whether you have ninety minutes or ninety-nine minutes on the field.

Additionally, Joel Piroe is a crucial component in my opinion. For us, he has started a lot of games, but occasionally he comes off the bench. He will undoubtedly start a lot of games for us, but it’s also important to have bench players who can shift the tide because it can be difficult to insert guys who have no impact.

It’s always the same: when the opportunity to train arises, you must be attentive and focused. This is how business operates at this level; it’s not like sharing evenly in game time to win the Nobel Peace Prize. You have to seize the opportunity when it presents itself. Every player that is on our team has my support and confidence.

Gelhardt is deserving of better, and this Leeds team will not give him the opportunity.

Given the choices Leeds has in attack, it’s not really Farke’s fault that Gelhardt isn’t getting many starts at the moment.

Nevertheless, considering that the 22-year-old behaves like a battering ram when the ball is at his feet, he undoubtedly could be getting more out of him in contests where the opposition is sitting deep.

When we need to break down low blocks in a game, Gelhardt might be the best player to play the inside right position that Willy Gnonto has been playing lately. Farke should think about making better use of his team.
