Thomas Frank is doing a fine job in his first few months in charge at Tottenham Hotspur and we saw that in their big win at Manchester City on Saturday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Spurs already look like a Thomas Frank side and their pressing and quick-thinking on the counter fueled their unexpected win at City. <\/p>\n

Here is the latest Thomas Frank reaction as Spurs have started the season with two wins from two. <\/p>\n

Thomas Frank reaction<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is one of the most difficult places to go to in the Premier League. A City side that need to bounce back from last season. You can see they came with everything. I think before our goal I think without dominating us they were more on top all around the game. But we stayed in it, were solid, top mentality. Games like this it is early days, it is still tough to come here. After the 1-0 goal we were actually more or less the better side. I am very impressed with how we stepped up in the second half,\u201d Frank told TNT Sports in the UK. <\/p>\n

Asked if Spurs had learned from their defeat on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup final to PSG (where they led 2-0 but coughed up two goals late on), Frank believes it was a factor: \u201cI think there\u2019s a couple of things, this is also 10 days later, so it\u2019s also the learning from that game but I think especially the high pressure was consistently good in the second half. That struggled to get out of that. That I am very happy with.\u201d <\/p>\n

Frank was asked what he found when he arrived at Spurs this summer given their struggles in the league, but the fact that won the Europa League at the end of last season: \u201cI found a very strong mentality in the players. It was a group of players that has been through a tough season ending on a high. I think those tough moments holds them even closer together. Great mentality in many ways. And then we had to build on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the extra scrutiny of manager Spurs, Thomas Frank was very clear to point out he doesn\u2019t listen to any chat around his side: \u201cI am aware of it. I am not on social media. I don\u2019t think it does any good to anyone, in my opinion. Secondly I read very, very little in the media. That doesn\u2019t give me any good. Half of it, I can\u2019t swear, half of it is wrong and half of it is just click bait. I don\u2019t read too much and I love football but the other bit I don\u2019t care.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Richarlison and the competition with Solanke: \u201cI think Richy performed well today. Top assist. Presence up there. Work ethic. Everything was very good. We need two good strikers. We are going to play a lot of games. Of course Richy is now starting and now he needs to keep his shirt.\u201d <\/p>\n

On the transfer window: \u201cI think we have shown today we have a strong squad that I believe a lot in. Of course we would like to add a bit. But only if it can strengthen the squad. We are looking to add. Hopefully succeeding. I know the club is working very hard and I trust them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Frank is doing a fine job in his first few months in charge at Tottenham Hotspur and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-87619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
