After Leeds United\u2019s 1-1 draw with AC Milan, Daniel Farke\u2019s side finished their pre-season unbeaten.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following another solid showing from the Whites, Farke<\/a> will be proud of their performance against one of Europe\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n

Despite a positive display, Tony Dorigo thinks Leeds need a full-back<\/a> still, as Isaac Schmidt<\/a> was once again not at the races.<\/p>\n

A draw was probably a fair result in the end, and it gives the Whites a serious platform to kick on ahead of their Premier League<\/a> opener vs Everton.<\/p>\n

There were some solid displays across the pitch for Leeds<\/a>, but it was one player who caught the eye of the Italian media.<\/p>\n

There was a clear standout at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, and his name is Anton Stach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German midfielder looks to be settling into the West Yorkshire side very nicely and showed so with an excellent strike in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Stach was labelled a \u2018serious player\u2019<\/a> as this performance alone shows he will be integral to Farke\u2019s mission of Premier League survival.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old even got praise from Italy\u2019s media as the German seems to be gaining some traction.<\/p>\n

Pianetta Milan<\/a> said that Stach scored a \u2018fantastic\u2019 goal, which left Milan keeper Pietro Terracciano \u2018helpless\u2019.<\/p>\n

Another outlet in Corrieredellosport<\/a> said how the midfielder was dangerous, calling him a \u2018threat\u2019 after he hit the crossbar in the tenth minute, which led to his goal.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s already building a reputation among the Leeds fans, but other clubs might soon gain an interest if Stach continues this way.<\/p>\n

Stach proved he\u2019s as much of an attacking threat for Leeds United as he is defensively<\/p>\n

Farke signed the defensive midfielder to provide a presence in the heart of midfield, as his six-foot-four stature alongside his crunching tackles is what brought him to Elland Road<\/a> for \u00a319.9 million.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s quite clear that after his brilliant effort, Stach is equally impressive in the final third, as he showed this throughout the game.<\/p>\n\nMinutes played<\/td>\n89<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPasses into final third<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPass accuracy %<\/td>\n89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTouches in opposition box<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Anton Stach\u2019s attacking statistics for Leeds United vs AC Milan<\/p>\n

Stach being an \u2018outstanding footballer\u2019<\/a>, doesn\u2019t even seem enough to sum up the midfielder after his start with the Whites.<\/p>\n

Of course, the first real test is around the corner, but the German is going the right way to becoming a great in West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Leeds United\u2019s 1-1 draw with AC Milan, Daniel Farke\u2019s side finished their pre-season unbeaten.
