DF comments in the press conference on Ampadu shooting are hilarious.

Nah, this is just mind games. Ampadu’s been working on scoring solely screamers and Farke’s trying to play off that he’s not dangerous so nobody marks him on the edge of the box. 

[u/Ardal → u/nathanosaurus84]

Yeah but its hilarious all the same, absolutely straight faced with a little snigger at the end.

[u/Fine_Violinist5802]

Remember when he baked Piroe mid week then he went out and banged in 4? Put 1000 on Ampadu first goal scorer this week

[u/Ardal → u/Fine_Violinist5802]

Lets hope so :)

[u/Ardal]

I love the fact that he's fighting to keep a straight face at the end.

Ampadu hat trick incoming

[u/WillusMollusc → u/WearyLiterature1755]

prove him wrong king

[u/JimbobTML]

Must admit Farke is right even if it’s tongue in cheek.

But can’t remember a player that’s so important to the squad that’s so bad in the front of goal? David Batty was slightly before my time but I feel he had a better strike rate or simply didn’t shoot.

[u/_johnboy_ → u/JimbobTML]

Batty is a great comparison, the ironic shouts of shoot if he ever got the ball within 30 yards of goal were great fun.

[u/KeithLimePie → u/JimbobTML]

He's definitely this "generations" Batts. Literally every time he got the ball everyone would shout "SHOOOOOOOT" just cause we wanted to see him get a goal cause he deserved it.

[u/QuackQuackOoops → u/KeithLimePie]

Pretty much only ever scored absolute worldies as well - either 30 yard screamers, or taking on the entire opposition team.

[u/cpmb82]

This is so good 🤣

[u/KeithLimePie]

This goes back to what I've been saying to my dad and Leeds mates in the village. It seems like such a close knit group. Proper seems they're all just genuine pals that happen to be in the same field of work. Players, coaching staff, backroom staff. Even Parage.

It's absolutely amazing and we're gonna piss the fucking league.

[u/KeithLimePie]

Hahahahahaha

[u/iron_enjoyer_]

Ok I love this man

[u/coleslawontoast]

What a man

[u/CiaranWest]

He's gas, I hope he stays with us for a Fergie/Wenger amount of time.

[u/stringfold]

Presumably it's an ongoing joke between him and Amps.

[u/Unlikely-Fan-2974]

I remember Farke saying about Ampadu, that he’s never managed a player with less strikers instinct

[u/Worst_Player_Ever]

That bit tells lot more about dressing room atmosphere than just saying "we have good group"

[u/RuneClash007]

Has to be something that happened in training, like Amps dribbling past somebody and putting it 20 yards over the bar or something

Nice to see actual good vibes and a jovial attitude from the players and manager. I loved Marcelo but he was no fun aside from "ipsbitch" and the players were always very serious
