Daniel Farke not happy with ‘magic’ Leeds United player who lost his ‘focus’ in his last game at Elland Road

Daniel Farke has made some claims that Leeds United fans haven’t been too happy with recently.

It’s been a week where the Leeds faithful lost a bit of faith in Farke.

Whether this was justified or not is another matter, but the Whites have won just one game out of their last six in the Championship.

This has allowed Burnley to top the league and see the Whites slump to third, as Leeds fans see Farke on his ‘final straw’.

Another claim he made didn’t settle too well, and he has only gone and added more fuel to the fire.

Daniel Farke not happy with ‘magic’ Largie Ramazani after losing ‘focus’

Many have been bemused by Farke’s treatment of Largie Ramazani, who was brought in for £10m in the summer.

The 49ers may not be too pleased to see the Belgian winger amass just seven league starts all season as Farke said Ramazani needs to ‘step up’.

It will always be difficult for the 24-year-old to do this without a lack of game time, but who’s to say what goes on in training is nowhere near justifying a start.

Six goal involvements from this minimal game time is a decent record for Ramazani though, but Farke has given more reason why he made that claim in the first place.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference for the meeting with Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough, Farke once again called out the forward.

“We all love Ramazani; he has that touch of magic,” Farke said.

“But a few things are not negotiable.

“You want to make your team fresher instead of a bit lazier, we know Largie has that capacity.

“He lost focus and lost the ball like last home game, and Ao Tanaka got a yellow card (blaming him for this).”

Ramazani’s future at Leeds does look doubtful after Farke comments

It will be interesting to see how Ramazani reacts to these comments, as continuous bench appearances will exemplify exactly what’s going on.

The winger hasn’t really had a consistent amount of games to prove his worth to Farke, and the ultimate reasoning for his training is that some players don’t take to it too well.

Match scenarios is a different matter, and if he can’t show Farke that, it doesn’t bode well for Ramazani’s future at Elland Road.

Ramazani played 97 minutes for Leeds in 11 games, and it has only gotten worse for the Belgian.

After a second call out in the space of a few days, Ramazani can either react to Farke’s desire or seek an exit this summer.
