Despite Leicester City’s defeat, Sunderland was more ‘aggressive and consistent’ than Leeds United.
Following his team’s defeat to Leeds United, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca mentioned the Black Cats.
Despite Leicester City’s 1-0 loss to Daniel Farke’s side on Friday night, manager Enzo Maresca believes Sunderland were more ‘aggressive and consistent’ than Leeds United.
The Black Cats fell by the identical scoreline to the Foxes last month, but Leicester couldn’t get their 10th successive win against Leeds Friday night. Georginio Rutter’s 57th-minute goal was enough for Leeds to reduce the gap on second-placed Ipswich and consign Leicester to their second home defeat of the season.
In the first half, Abdul Fatawu struck the crossbar, but Leicester only got one shot on goal. While Maresca praised Leeds, he claimed Sunderland caused his team more trouble.
“I’m happy with the performance, we expected this match in terms of intensity,” Maresca said in a statement. “They’re a very good team, dangerous and technically sound.” We cannot win every game. Overall, I am content; losing is a necessary part of the journey. It’s a question of what we can do better, and we can certainly do some things better. I thought we deserved more from the game.
“Sunderland were more aggressive and consistent,” the Italian added. “They began at minute one and finished at minute 95.”
“Leeds started the game with vigour in the first half, but they faded in the closing minutes.” For the last half hour, we were in command. Sunderland, in my opinion, exhibited the most intensity.”
Leeds manager Daniel Farke saw his team’s triumph as a reward for their “bravery and courage.” Farke lauded Leeds for their outstanding performance, which saw them take the game to Leicester early on and secure a statement win at the King Power Stadium.
“As a side that had been unbeaten for so long, we were brave and went for it with courage,” Leeds manager remarked.
“On the field, it was a complex performance, but we stayed disciplined and kept them to areas where they couldn’t hurt us.” I had faith in my players and knew they could win the game.
“The goal was obvious in the second half; it was a well-deserved victory; we had the better chances.” Georginio’s only goal tally needed to be improved. This was a decisive goal and a mark of excellence.”
