Daniel Farke press conference live as Leeds United boss reveals injury latest after wounded Hull City win

It was really like the situation, Cree was the taker on the sheet, naturally he steps up and wants to take it. If he does this and doesn’t want it, everyone asks why. I like that Cree was there. Joel knows normally when I bring him in he’s first on the teamsheet. Once I substitute him in, I didn’t think about a penalty. As I said I don’t like players who are just in the game with one or two touches to take a penalty. I like players who are adapted to the rhythm, it’s a sign of his character and confidence that he wanted the responsibility. We spoke about the situation, I forgot to give you this message. I think his behaviour was top class, Cree scored, he was one of the first guys to go and celebrate, assist for Dan James’ goal. He’s like a striker, wants to score but he wasn’t just thinking about his goal tally.

I like when everyone is buzzing about our players. Mateo deserves our praise, he has developed all season, but it’s important we’re not too driven by our emotions. Mateo has got one goal this season in the league, it’s not like without him we have no chance. He’s done well in cup comps, he scored the brace at Chelsea, great, important impact from the bench, this is also what we need. It’s good to have this player with this momentum because whenever he comes on at the moment he comes on with emotions and confidence, but so important to have experienced players on the pitch like Patrick who put a shift in. To have the experience and quality of Patrick available is also crucial, we play with 21 y/o Georginio, 22 y/o Cree Summerville - we need experienced players fit and available and in good shape.
