Daniel Falk: We're definitely on the right track, ending the preseason with a victory.


In another friendly, Leeds United secured a comfortable 4-0 victory over Bundesliga side Augsburg, with goals from Anton Stah, Mojaremovic, James Justin, and Lucas Nmecha. Manager Daniel Falk stated that the team's preseason efforts were aimed at achieving peak performance for the Premier League and expressed confidence that the team is on the right track.


With the preseason over, Leeds United are about to embark on their journey in the 2026/27 Premier League season, with their first match being an away game against Nottingham Forest.


Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said: "We can play better. In the first half, we were a bit disorganized in many situations and not precise enough in possession. We can definitely play better, and we have done so throughout the preseason."


“We are now in the fifth week of preseason preparation, and we have done a lot of training and tactical planning this week. We had a long journey and came back relatively late. We started training again on the third day, including tactical drills and meetings. So we were not very sharp or in perfect condition for this game, but even so, we still faced a very strong Bundesliga team.”


Daniel Falk also said, "To win 4-0 and keep a clean sheet, and to create more chances, is a good preseason overall, and the result is a positive one, which further boosts the team's confidence. All our efforts are aimed at getting as close to perfect as possible when the Premier League really starts."


“We must perform exceptionally well and reach our best. That’s what the players want to do, and that requires hard work. Right now, especially those players who participated in the entire preseason, they are in excellent physical condition.”


In addition, Daniel Falk added, "We have a few players who returned late due to the World Cup, so they will need some time to get back to 100% fitness. But overall, we are definitely on the right track."
