- Frank said he was very happy they built on the momentum of the previous home game, and he thinks there were more positive attacking notes. It was a tricky game against an opponent that is not easy to play against.
“…it's decided before… It was exactly how it should be.”
- Asked about a young player who drifted out of the game after a great early moment, Frank said he no doubt learned a lot. There were situations where he needed to protect the ball better against aggressive pressure.
- Asked whether a player who scored again is gaining confidence, Frank said definitely. He praised his link play and turns, and a great recovery run in stoppage time that showed his work ethic.
- Frank mainly saw Son Heung-min straight after the game. He was happy with the well-deserved reception for a true Tottenham legend coming back home, who seems happy and said he has settled well.
- Asked about the signings brought in for creativity, Frank said he thinks Kudus started the season quite well, then had a dip. In maybe the last three games, he seems to have had freshness, energy and decisiveness.
- Frank said he liked a lot from the performance, but thinks they can do much better and be even more in control. After a crazy schedule, getting over the line is the positive he takes away.
- Frank said the win puts them, more or less, in a very strong position to definitely be in the play-offs. He is happy to have four days before facing Nottingham, and that is all he is focusing on.
Tottenham continued their impressive Champions League campaign with a commanding home win over Slavia Prague, marking back-to-back clean sheets and another step toward the knockout rounds.
Head coach Thomas Frank was full of praise for Xavi and Mohamed Kudus, who have stepped up in recent weeks as creative leaders in Son Heung-Min’s absence.
Frank highlighted Xavi’s sharp passing, ball-carrying ability, and defensive work rate, calling his performance a complete midfield display.
The Danish coach also spoke about Kudus rediscovering his early-season spark, emphasizing how both players are hitting form at the right moment.
Despite a suspension for Micky van de Ven and some minor frustration over Wilson Odebeer’s inconsistent showing, Frank remained positive about the team’s momentum. He also praised Cristian Romero’s leadership during the match and explained squad choices around Dom and Tau amid injury complications.
