Daniel Farke says Leeds United supporters gave his side a crucial lift with the full-time Elland Road reception on Saturday.
Though the Whites were beaten 2-1 by Southampton, having been consigned to the play-offs by Ipswich winning on the final day, many Leeds fans remained in their seats to applaud the players on a lap of the ground. Junior Firpo was first to wander around the pitch clapping those still in place, before Farke and the rest of the squad followed. And as the group approached the Kop they were given an incredible ovation.
We need to gain the confidence back and to have the trust of our supporters is so important and makes my life a bit easier.' Farke has repeatedly described Leeds fans as the best in the division and the country this season and their latest intervention was an important one because he believes it delivered a message to the players, on his behalf.
