FA Cup: Leeds Boss Daniel Farka is weighing in tragedy incidents after losing to Millwall in the fourth round | Football news

Daniel Farka spoke about football values ​​after Leeds condemned the “visible” tragedy of singing from Millwall fans during the fourth round of Fa Cup 2-0 at Elland Road.

The Lionsa wing of Femi Azeez achieved double because the men of Alex Neil caused anxiety advanced in the fifth round, for the first time from 2018-19.

In the Millwall Form, he arrived in West Yorksshire at the back of three direct victories and proved too strong for Leeds’s background.

But shortly after the game, Leeds issued a statement that condemned the singing of Millwall fans relating to the murders of white fans Kevin Speight and Christopher Loftus before the UEFA Cup semifinals in Galatasaray 2000.

The statement stated: “During today’s Fa Cup Fourth Circle with Millwall, we were extremely disappointed when we heard Vile Changes relating to football tragedies from the guest department at Elland Road.

“We know the influence that has this to the family of Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, along with the whole base of the Leeds United fans.

“We will work with the Police Football Club and Millwall to identify those who are involved, while we will also continue our efforts with the football authorities to help eradicate these players from the game.”

Asked about singing, Farka said, “During the game, I was so focused that I didn’t hear [the chants].

“But in general, you know my attitude and there is nothing stupid than the old quote” Football is not about life or death, but much more serious. “

“I think it’s a stupid quote and has nothing to do with the values ​​of the whole football world.

“The health of human beings is always much more important than only a football match.

“I think the whole football community means that and always wants to support these values.

“When something really sad happens with a tragedy, it usually stands the whole football world.

“It is the value we live as a club, and I live, and everyone that I think in the football world should live.

“If anyone has not achieved these standards today – and again, I haven’t heard it – it’s important to look at this situation.”

When asked about a statement Leeds issued, the winning Millwall colleague Neil said, “I was not aware – if I was honest, the game was preoccupied.

“But if any of that goes on, then I am sure that as a club we would certainly not forgive it on any football field.

“I would imagine that the club would make a statement based on that.”

This statement was neatly followed, and the lions said: “We all have a duty to ensure that Millwall Football Club is proud and responsible at all times.

“The club strongly condemns all forms of misuse of the football tragedy and is appalled to receive reports of such singing from the minority on today’s firming of the Emirates Fa Cup against Leeds United.

“Both clubs have suffered tragic losses towards their families in recent history. The club or control bodies will not tolerate it completely unacceptable and will not tolerate it.

“There is no place in football and the club will work closely with Leeds United and authorities to identify responsible.”

Farke made 10 changes to the side of Leeds, and it turned out that the winged player Azeez opened scoring in the 30th minute before grabbing his other 10 minutes in the second half.

Visiting goalkeeper Liam Roberts, he enjoyed an extraordinary game and saved the penalty from the defender Leeds Pascal Struijka for an hour while Millwall won the first FA Cup meeting between the sides.

Referring to the defeat of his part, Farke said: “Congratulations to Millwall, but we are disappointed because we wanted to go to the next round.

“It is necessary to rotate during this hectic period, but 10 changes cannot be positive or useful for the fluidity of your football.

“We made this decision because we played on Wednesday night.”

In the meantime, Millwall head Neil added, “I thought we played really good.

“Leeds is the most difficult place in the championship that came, but the most appropriate it was as we played.

“We were a threat throughout the game and the players were great.”
