"Farke stated, 'We take lots of confidence from it. I can guarantee no-one is distracted right now about the FA Cup semi-finals. I will make sure after this press conference no-one speaks about it.' He emphasized the need for focus on the next three league games."
"'It's definitely a positive. You just have to look in the eyes of the people for how much it means to them. It's a different competition. It doesn't help us in terms of points for the Premier League, but there's no replacement for wins and this winning feeling.'"
"'While there are significant financial benefits to Premier League survival, Farke indicated he will not sacrifice Leeds' shot at Wembley glory. We want to grab this with both hands and we will never use this as an excuse.'"
Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke believes that reaching the FA Cup semi-finals will provide confidence to his team amid their Premier League relegation fight. The team recently defeated West Ham on penalties, marking their first semi-final appearance in 39 years. Farke emphasized the importance of focusing on upcoming league matches while acknowledging the positive impact of recent victories. He noted that financial rewards for Premier League survival outweigh those of the FA Cup, but Leeds will pursue success in both competitions without distraction.
