Leeds United, nicknamed the "White Army," will host Championship side Norwich City at Elland Road in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Daniel Falk stated that his team will be highly motivated in the competition and aim to go far.
In an earlier Premier League match, Leeds United lost 0-1 at home to Sunderland after conceding a penalty in the second half to Habib Diarra.
Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "We now have at least a chance to reach the quarterfinals, and it's been a while since the club last made it to the quarterfinals. As everyone knows, if we can do that, then we'll be just one game away from Wembley Stadium."
"We all know that the FA Cup is the most traditional and historic competition in Europe, and it is also the most special cup competition, and the same is true for us. Of course, for a team that has just been promoted to the Premier League, staying in the Premier League is always the top priority, without a doubt and must be the case."
Daniel Falk continued, "But if there is an opportunity to continue in the cup, we certainly hope to seize it, while not taking any risks for any player or making any foolish decisions. However, we will certainly be motivated to strive for success and hope to advance to the next round."
“A positive result helps boost confidence and helps maintain the good momentum. But for now, we will put the league aside for the next two or three days and then refocus on it. Right now, we will only focus on this cup competition.”
In addition, Daniel Falk added, "We expect it to be a tough match, but we hope to advance to the next round regardless."
