Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United lost to Norwich City at Elland Road at the weekend.
The Canaries took on Leeds away from home at Carrow Road in the Championship on Saturday evening.
Ahead of the match, the West Yorkshire outfit were at the top of the league table, three points clear of Norwich, who were then second in the standings.
Norwich won the game against Leeds 3-1, and they are now in the pole position in the league table, ahead of Marcelo Bielsa’s side on goal difference.
Krul has revealed what Norwich manager Farke told the players before the match against Leeds.
The former Newcastle United goalkeeper told The Telegraph: “Leading up to this game we said that [Leeds will be worried about falling apart again].
“Like the hype was massive, but they are not unbeatable. The manager made it clear – respect them, be humble, but hit them, because they’re not Barcelona. No, they’re not.”
Reality check for Leeds United?
Krul’s aforementioned comments may not go down well with Leeds fans, but the fact is that the defeat to Norwich is a reality check for the West Yorkshire outfit.
Leeds have now suffered four defeats in six matches, and although there is no reason for the Elland Road faithful to panic yet, it is clear that the Whites need to improve.
