AdminDaniel Farke Brushes Off Chris Wilder’s Comments, Takes Them as a “Compliment”
Norwich City manager Daniel Farke has responded to Chris Wilder’s comments about Leeds United being “miles ahead” of Sheffield United. Farke took Wilder’s comments as a compliment, saying that many other managers have also praised his team in recent weeks.
Farke’s response came during his pre-match press conference ahead of Norwich City’s encounter with Middlesbrough. He acknowledged that his team is in a good league position and has been delivering strong performances. However, he also emphasized that there is still a long way to go and that his team cannot afford to be complacent.
“It’s nice to hear that other managers are saying nice things about us,” Farke said. “We take it as a compliment, but we also know that we have to stay focused and keep working hard. We’re not getting carried away with our current position in the league. We know that there are still many games to be played and that anything can happen in football.”
Farke also downplayed the idea that his team is significantly better than other teams in the league, including Sheffield United and Burnley. He noted that Norwich City has made significant progress in recent years, but still has a lot to prove.
“We’re not miles ahead of anyone,” Farke said. “We’re just a team that’s working hard and trying to improve every day. We’ve made some progress in recent years, but we’re still a long way from where we want to be. We have to stay humble and keep working hard if we want to achieve our goals.”
The Norwich City manager also provided an update on the team’s injury situation, confirming that Junior Firpo will be out of action over the festive period. Despite this setback, Farke remains optimistic about his team’s chances and is focused on ensuring that they remain grounded and focused on their goals.
“We’re disappointed to lose Junior Firpo to injury, but we have a strong squad and we’re confident that we can cope with his absence,” Farke said. “We’ll just have to adjust our plans slightly and make sure that we’re prepared for the challenges ahead. We’re looking forward to the festive period and we’re confident that we can pick up some valuable points.”
Overall, Farke’s response to Wilder’s comments was measured and confident, reflecting his team’s strong position in the league and their growing reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Despite the challenges ahead, Farke remains optimistic about his team’s chances and is focused on ensuring that they remain grounded and focused on their goals.
