Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank addresses the media ahead of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Matchday 3 clash between Spurs and AS Monaco.
Frank reflects on the recent loss to Aston Villa, updates on Cristian Romero’s injury, and provides clarity on Destiny Udogie’s status, while praising Kevin for stepping up in defence.
He also comments on Spurs’ strong away form, Monaco’s coaching change, and the tactical preparation ahead of the tie.
The highlight of the press conference came when Frank compared Xavi Simons to Florian Wirtz, explaining how both are immensely talented young players adapting to a new environment, pace, and expectations urging patience from fans and media alike.
“Big talents need time,” said Frank, while acknowledging Xavi’s progress in positioning and arriving in the box.
