Ilia Gruev's slow start at Leeds United and eventual success after a long integration should serve as a warning for Daniel Farke's newest faces
Patience will be required by Leeds United’s newest faces as they wait a little longer for a chance that may take months to arrive with Daniel Farke . Largie Ramazani , Ao Tanaka and Isaac Schmidt are unknown quantities in English football and, as Ilia Gruev showed last season, there is no guarantee they will make an impact any time soon.
In stark contrast, Archie Gray eradicated any doubters from day one with his performances, despite his lack of prior first-team experience. “Sometimes, you also have to be patient. So, for me, the best example is also in our group, Ilia Gruev. He came to us and had already 60 Bundesliga games under his belt. So, really on the top level and he needed to adapt a bit to the physicality, to the tempo, to the intensity.
Before they signed, Ramazani, Tanaka and Schmidt were seemingly reassured they would be given the time to get up to speed with Championship football. “This is what they have to prove. They have all the capability and our backing and all our work rate with them, but it's up to them to prove this.”
