Daniel Farke fires warning to Leeds United players despite Millwall win
Complacency is something that Farke is seemingly keen to avoid.
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has warned against his side celebrating too much following their 3-0 away win at Millwall, speaking to Leeds Live.
That result is probably their most impressive of the campaign so far, having had a reasonably underwhelming start to the campaign.
How have Leeds United started the 2023/24 season?
Coming into the season, it looked as though they had a reasonably favourable set of fixtures.
But they found themselves 2-0 behind against Cardiff City during their opening league game and had to fight their way back in the second half to secure a 2-2 draw against the Bluebirds.
They then went to Birmingham City and would have been hopeful of securing three points – but they had a weakened squad due to various absences and lost via a penalty in the end.
After that, they hosted fellow Midlands club West Bromwich Albion and looked dangerous at times, but could only secure a point and that meant they had only taken two points from a possible nine in their opening three matches.
With Wilfried Gnonto returned for that game, they replied with a superb 4-3 victory away at high-flying Ipswich Town, and it appeared as though that could have been a turning moment.
Salford City of League Two knocked them out of the Carabao Cup, and they could only manage a 0-0 tie with struggling Sheffield Wednesday.
With this, Leeds couldn’t consider the opening stretch of the 2023–24 season a success, and they were in dire need of a response after the break.
After the international break, how did Leeds United react?
Even though they traveled to the English capital to face Millwall, they were able to reply in the ideal way despite facing a challenging foe.

What stern words did Daniel Farke issue to the Leeds United team?
Following such a fantastic victory over the Lions, Farke has cautioned his troops from getting overly ecstatic. He said: “I am never over the moon after a victory or too depressed after a failure.
“This league is merciless; you must get ready for each and every game in every way possible.
The three points are crucial for the rhythm, confidence, and mood, as well as for the table, but we can’t afford to rejoice excessively.
Daniel Farke: Is he correct?
Farke is correct; there is still a lot of work to be done.
They still need to because they aren’t even in the playoffs yet.
