Tottenham boss Thomas Frank remains confident despite Bayern Munich defeat
Thomas Frank is staying positive ahead of Tottenham’s UEFA Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain, despite a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in pre-season.
The defeat marked Frank’s first since taking over from Ange Postecoglou, with Harry Kane scoring against his former club but missing a penalty. Bayern dominated the game, with goals from Kingsley Coman, Lennart Karl, and Jonah Kusi-Asare sealing the win.
Spurs struggled to create chances, managing just three shots on target and an expected goals (xG) total of 0.36 compared to Bayern’s 3.6.
Frank acknowledged Bayern’s quality, calling them favorites for the Champions League, but believes his team will learn from the defeat and improve their energy levels for the upcoming match against PSG.
Despite the loss ending Tottenham’s unbeaten pre-season run, Frank is focused on the Super Cup showdown with PSG, confident that his squad will be fully prepared for the challenge.
The encounter will be Frank’s first competitive game in charge of Tottenham, and he is determined to make a strong start against a PSG side that has had success against English teams in the past.
With a week to prepare, Frank is optimistic about his team’s readiness for the Super Cup clash, emphasizing the importance of a normal training week to energize the players and fine-tune their tactics for the big game.
