Thomas Frank ‘S TOTENHAM: Super Cup showed set pieces, long balls and pressure, but flexibility is also key. Soccer news

Tottenham loses two goals in the game and penalized in the Super Cup defeat, and some people can seduce this as ‘old spurs’. But this was different. Thomas Frank’s fingerprints were over the performance.

The new Tottenham Boss did not get the result of wanting a opponent with Paris Saint Germain. In his first competitive game, the improvement of silver products would have been a great moment for him. But I can’t deny that his ideas are clear.

Frank’s own evaluation seemed fair, “surgery was successful but the patient was dead.” The tactics have been greatly proven. Even Luis Enrique said that PSGs are qualified to win, showing their true quality and taking the trophy.

Thomas Frank

“How mental is throughout the game. Many things to be satisfied.” It was Frank’s verdict. What you see is how much you adjust the tactics, given that you are riding the next time before you face Manchester City every week.

It is necessary to provide initial insight into the flexibility of Frank.

Set pitch can be a power of spur

His influence on UDINE was clear and subtle. Most obviously, there were two goals of the set piece. Given that this is a feature of his success in Brentford, the two center hundred goals were rarely perfect.

The Premier League team did not achieve more goals than Frank’s bees last season. They had the highest average shot quality in the set piece, and the conversion rate was second after Liverpool. Brent Ford also acknowledged the least goal per set.

FRANK has long understood that this ‘cheap’ goal can be a limit to making differences, and there will be Tottenham supporters who are grateful for the details because the ingredients have ingredients to become a major weapon of spurring.

Nine of the starting lineups for PSG had more than 6 feet tall. “We knew it was an area that could harm PSG, and we worked hard on it.” He talked about “focusing on set pieces in all areas of Peach,” and emphasized that he would continue to do so.

Opener came from a free kick near the middle line and Guglielmo Vicario was pumped towards the distant post. Frank likes to make overloads and notes that Spurs are looking for a free man behind. I worked for the second goal.

Frank talked about “a little more direct”, but the reality is to show more fundamental changes in the spurs. It was implied when Kevin Danso became clear that he had won the long -term game. He took them from the right and It was left in UDINE.

Vicario’s passing highlights change

But there is nothing more clearly shown more clearly than the instructions given to Vicario. Tottenham of Ange Postecoglou recorded the longest pass on all teams in the Premier League last season.

As a result, the two goalkeepers have the longest pass in the Tottenham -FRASER FORSTER, which are slightly lesser than Vicario, and the longest pass per 90 minutes in the game. But the Italian passmap for PSG showed a different approach.

The side of Luis Enrique is to like pressure, so their tactics include booting the ball over the field on the kick off, allowing them to make a box from the opponent. Frank wanted his team to bypass the opportunity and worked in many games.

Adjust to stronger opponents

This adjustment ability is a big reason Frank is at work. Postecoglou failed to recognize 65 goals in the last semester, the most in the 38th game league season after World War I.

Tottenham’s record for Stronger Side was particularly terrible last season and lost 14 of the 16 Premier League games with the 8th place. It was as much as Leicester, mouth switch, even floor club sample turn.

His work he did in Brentford is 5-3-2 and suggests that there is a template for the game. He decided it after losing 4-0 to Bayern Munich in the preseason. “I knew we had to do a little different things about PSG,” he said.

The biggest problem remaining is how to adjust the style against the honest opposition. Spurs will get a clue on Saturday toward Burnley. He was in charge of classifying the team with the best defense of the UK last season, which should be a very different test.

It is a game that can be especially useful for James Maddison or Morgan Gibbs-WHITE or EBERECHI EZE to pass through to unlock things. Without them, it is possible to become an awkward opener given the transition time.

A new approach to Burnley

But Frank can have a new tactical plan. Since his Brentford was promoted to the Premier League through the 2021 playoffs, it was so good. When the promotion was changed, the approach was changed and comfortably survived, and both NORWICH and Watford, the second -largest season in the championship, were demoted.

Last season, Brentford had a higher time in a lower block than other teams, but somehow ranked the top of the top three teams. He can press the switch to protect it deeply.

There was evidence of PSG. Since the Champions League winners were able to claim at the deadline, there was an example of the spurs after all the pressure. Frank said, “High pressure cannot be negotiated.”

It can be seen in the efforts of Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, especially PAPE SARR. The midfield trio shows a great passion for forcibly forcibly forced to PSG and supporting a wingback to cut the cross. If all three people stayed, the spurs would have won.

The mourning may remain for those who have traveled to Italy. But as Frank himself said, he slowed down 24 hours after defeat. “I will be prepared and flying on Saturday.” If the tactics change again, do not be shocked.
