Leeds United assistant coach Edmund Riemer believes one of Daniel Farke\u2019s biggest strengths is keeping the dressing room atmosphere at a good equilibrium during both periods of success and tribulation.<\/p>\n
The Whites are destined for survival and help break the two-year curse of promoted clubs suffering instant relegation, alongside Sunderland. Farke appeared to be on the brink of losing his job in November before his change to a back-three formation sparked a magnificent revival.<\/p>\n
Part of this resurgence has been down to the club\u2019s away form, having lost just one away game since that poignant defeat at Manchester City, and Leeds<\/a> go into tonight\u2019s clash with Tottenham Hotspur unbeaten in six road trips.<\/p>\n This pays testament to the new-found resolve in the squad, something that was lacking for much of the first few months of the season. Farke can be credited with creating such robustness and he has since underlined why ‘good mentality’ was high on his summer transfer criteria.<\/p>\n On how Farke<\/a> has managed to sustain this dressing room mood throughout the season, assistant Riemer – who was stepping in to speak to the media pre-match with the manager unwell<\/a> – explained: \u201cI think it was massive that [Farke] creates this atmosphere that you need to be always level-headed.<\/p>\n \u201cYou need to be – if the emotion gets too high, you need to calm everything down. And also if it doesn’t go all your way. I think that’s a big strength – that he’s always like he is. He doesn’t change.<\/p>\n \u201cYou’re successful, he’s [not] overdoing it. And if you’re not successful, that he [is not] panicking and goes the other way. He’s always level-headed and always realistic and always spot on.\u201d<\/p>\n Even during his shaky period before the winter schedule, Farke\u2019s demeanour has always remained consistent, steadfast and calm. Club chiefs have outlined how much they admire this characteristic – albeit the boss is keen to stress that though he may be \u201ccool in the head\u201d, he has \u201cfire in the heart\u201d.<\/p>\n Riemer echoed this, stating how he and his staff sometimes have cordially \u201cheated\u201d debates about certain subjects. He outlined: \u201cWe would always have discussions, of course, in the manager’s office, and you’ve got sometimes heated debates, 100%.<\/p>\n \u201cHe always wants to hear opinions, and then he makes up his mind and makes his own conclusions.\u201d<\/p>\n Riemer added of Farke, who is expected to be on the touchline on tonight after illness: \u201cHe can get flustered if in training sessions things are not going right. That\u2019s 100% for sure, but he always is controlled, and can keep his emotions and control his emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n
