Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "I am very proud because this was a very complicated game for us. We lost our last game, and although I knew that the opponent was Arsenal, a loss always affects confidence."

"Responding after a loss is never easy, and this game itself carries even greater significance. Against this backdrop, the team's ability to perform in this way and demonstrate such high morale makes this victory well-deserved."

Daniel Falk pointed out, "Everyone could feel that we put in a lot of energy, both mentally and physically, in this game, so much so that we were a bit tired in the later stages, and then the opponent scored without warning, so we were even a bit nervous in the final period."

"However, the team still showed an iron will and a desire to win in the final moments, which made everything even more perfect for me. I think this victory will greatly boost our confidence, and our team spirit and performance are unparalleled."

In addition, Daniel Falk said, "This is the winning mentality. When striving for victory, you must instill this mentality into the team, as well as give your best performance and the strongest fighting spirit."
