Farke: 'Enjoy the summer and get excited about the new summer'

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was left too 'empty' by the madness and drama of his side's final day Championship title success to celebrate as wildly as his players at Home Park on Saturday.

The Whites did it the hard way, going behind at Plymouth Argyle inside 20 minutes and needing a stoppage-time winner from Manor Solomon to claim a priceless 2-1 victory.

The winning goal sparked celebrations on and off the pitch but Farke hung back as his staff and substitutes raced onto the pitch and then watched as they congregated in front of a delirious away end.

"First of all I was so focused to win promotion, but I was a bit greedy in the last days – I wanted to win this title," he said.

"For everyone at the club, with supporters in the ground. I wanted this so badly and I'm totally out of energy right now.

"I feel pretty empty, I was too tired to celebrate, the last hours were so complicated, even the half-time talk was complicated.

"I wanted to be there with the right messages and adaptations. It paid off in the end thank God.

"I'm happy we won and are allowed to label ourselves as champions and to be the best team through the whole season," he said.
