'Let's see' - Boss reveals specific Leeds United work for Cardiff City clash with defiant table position view
Leeds are heading to a Cardiff side sat bottom of the Championship table with just one point from their first five games.
Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut has revealed a specific focus of training for Saturday’s Leeds United visit, ahead of which he has issued a defiant table position view.
Cardif sit bottom of the Championship table with just one point from their first five games played but Bulut insists his team are better than their league position implies.
Bulut’s side fell to a 1-0 defeat at Derby County last weekend, following which the Bluebirds boss says his side have specifically worked on “hurting” teams in the box after not utilising their possession against the Rams.
Cardiff’s boss now hopes to see the fruits of his side’s labour against Leeds who themselves are looking to bounce back from defeat after last weekend’s 1-0 reverse at home to Burnley. The Bluebirds lost by the same score against the Rams - but Bulut believes his side are capable of delivering better outcomes.
Bulut reasoned: “Last week against Derby we conceded a goal - we were pushing and in the second half at the end but not too much and we could make much much more.
"We keep the ball, we keep the ball, it's not enough. You have to hurt the opponent in the box and we have been training for that this week. Let's see."
Asked how Cardiff would get out of the situation they are in, Bulut declared: "Work, work, work. And not only me, everybody has got to work hard. It is a difficult moment for all of us, but we have to work. We have to do more than enough. We can push for more. We are better than where we are now. I take the responsibility, so hopefully my team can answer to that on Saturday.”
