Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has a few rules when it comes to football management, but few are as hard-and-fast as the on-pitch leadership hierarchy at Elland Road.
The German is serious about leading by example and has sung countless praises of club captain Liam Cooper and vice-skipper Luke Ayling despite their changing role in the Leeds team this season. Farke insists that Leeds’ young squad must be respectful and obedient of the elder statesmen in this squad of promotion hopefuls, which is an important benchmark to set and ground-rule to observe considering the Whites’ first-team group is among the youngest in the division.
” While Karl Darlow is the squad’s oldest member at 33, he is new to the club and yet to fully announce himself on the field. Cooper, Ayling, Stuart Dallas, Patrick Bamford and Sam Byram, meanwhile, are the dressing room’s veterans – each of whom having surpassed their 30th birthdays – and several were part of the 2019/20 promotion-winning campaign. That is not to say the remainder of Leeds’ squad is made up of wide-eyed youngsters whose tendencies are to play with reckless abandon.
