Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur coach, said that he wants his team to embody the club’s slogan “boldness is the verb” by playing courageous, aggressive, and offensive football, during his presentation of his vision at his first press conference on Friday.
Speaking before the friendly match against Reding, Frank, who left Angie Postegoglu last month, confirmed his commitment to a high -density playing style based on courage and ambition.
“I am completely clear in my principles. I want to see the team brave, aggressive, and offensive. Courage is associated with” the audacity is the act, “Frank told reporters.
If you are not brave, it will be very difficult to achieve anything. To be aggressive is very important, and of course, we need an attack. “
Frank left a strong impression during his seven -year working period with Brentford, where he built an offensive team that has been continuously out of expectations after his rise to the Premier League through the 2021 qualifiers.
In his four seasons in the Premier League under Frank, Bringford ranked 13, 9, 16 and 10, and last season, only four teams scored more than 66 goals.
He said: “It was very difficult (Bringford left) and at the same time very easy. I am a person who made my best. I got stuck in the team and I had great relationships there.”
“I also felt that the time had come to challenge myself, and when a club came the size of Tottenham, I wanted to be part of it.”
The Danish coach expressed his sympathy for his Australian predecessor, Postegoglu, who was sacked by the club despite his leadership of the team to his first great title in 17 years by winning in the European League final.
He added: “First of all, Angie will remain an immortal legend in Tottenham. He is one of only three who won a European title here, and the first in 41 years.”
“I think their victory (the European League) was a very positive achievement. Our first goal is to be able to compete in all four competitions. This is the goal that should be. I think 2019 was the last time they managed to compete in various competitions.”
When Frank, 51, is the fifth full -time coach for Tottenham in six years, whether the repeated changes in the technical staff were concerned, he said he is risk.
He added: “I love my psychological challenge. I have not been expelled before, and this is one of the reasons for accepting the job, to make more risk in my daily life.”
“Joining a big club makes us feel pressure. We have to perform well because we are” us “, I, the technical staff and the players. We have to do it together.
I like the ambition, and everything I do, every decision I made so far, everything is for the long run. It is not about surviving one match, one year, or what is an average of 18 months? No, but for the long run.
