Robin Koch has critiqued the way in which Leeds United set up to defend during his three seasons at Elland Road in a new interview.
Koch joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan this summer and is unlikely to return to Leeds upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2023/24 season. United are in receipt of a reported £500,000 loan fee from Eintracht for the German international, although that remains somewhat below the 27-year-old’s market value.
' This season, Eintracht have conceded the fewest goals of any team in Germany’s top flight, less than Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and breakaway league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The team also sit second in their UEFA Europa Conference League group. Critiquing the defending at Leeds, Koch said: “In Leeds, it was very high pressing and therefore also extreme risk at the back. For a defender, it's naturally more pleasant to play to nil for a change or to generally concede few goals.
