Leeds United manager Daniel Farke wants the authorities to find a solution for players feigning injury in order to create an advantage for their teams following his side\u2019s 3-2 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the second half of the Premier League clash, City manager Pep Guardiola was able to give a brief team talk to his outfield players, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma received medical treatment.<\/p>\n

The interruption to the match came with Leeds United in the ascendancy, causing problems for their hosts with a 5-3-2 shape Farke instigated at half-time. City were struggling, and their players needed intervention from Guardiola.<\/p>\n

In his post-match press conference, Farke said: \u201cEveryone knows why he went down, right? It\u2019s not like the elephant in the room. It\u2019s more like you can speak about it. You can ask me what I think about why he went down. It was obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farke acknowledges there was nothing illegal in a player requiring treatment and the rest of the team using that moment to speak to their coach. However, he did not feel it was in the right spirit of fair play.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s within the rules. It\u2019s smart. If I like it, if it\u2019s in the sense of fair play, if it should be like this, I keep it to myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI leave it with the authorities to find solutions for it. It\u2019s within the rules. I asked the fourth official at this point, \u2018Do you want to do something?\u2019 He said, \u2018No, our hands are tied. We can\u2019t do anything\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know this happens, but if we don\u2019t educate our players in football, what to do in terms of fair play, sportsmanship and you just try to bend the rules to your advantage, you can even do a fake injury in order to do an additional team talk, it\u2019s nothing I personally like.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s within the rules, I can\u2019t complain about it. We should think about how we can deal with it, and also how we educate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guardiola was asked about the incident in his post-match press conference and said, \u201cI didn\u2019t speak with Gigi. I know what happened (and) when it happened, I looked back to the dugout to say, \u2018James, warm up\u2019. Honestly, I don\u2019t know. Next press conference, you can ask me, I will ask Gigi.\u201d<\/p>\n

A valiant effort saw Leeds come back from a two-goal first-half deficit to draw level before a stoppage-time goal from Phil Foden secured all three points for the home side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United manager Daniel Farke wants the authorities to find a solution for players feigning injury in order…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[12765,4896,1084,403,99],"class_list":["post-321328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-leeds-united","tag-manchester-city","tag-premier-league","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
