Sky: Frank must quickly win the trust of Tottenham players, the European Super League is an important start for Paris

June 14th Danish Thomas Frank officially became Tottenham head coach, and "Sky Sports" analyzed his coaching work from many aspects.

How to win the trust of players

Postkoglu, who won the UEFA Cup championship, was still fired, but Tottenham players obviously did not buy into the club's move. Captain Son Heung-min and Madison all posted emotional farewell messages, while Van Devin said Postkoglu's departure was "confused".

This means that Frank must win the trust and support of the players in a short period of time, and Postkoglu's dismissal is not "as the people want". However, Frank believes that the interpersonal management and affinity he showed at Brentford will help him gain the trust and love of Tottenham players. In addition, Frank's two favorites in Brentford, Brennan Johnson and Archie Gray should be happy with the arrival of the new coach.

Winning the European Super Cup championship will set a good start for the new coach's term as the new coach. As the UEFA Cup champion, Tottenham Hotspur's first game of the new season will be against the Champions League champion Paris in Udine, Italy, and the two sides will compete for the UEFA Super Cup. Although Tottenham is regarded as a clear weaker side in this game, if they can win the championship in an upset, it will undoubtedly make a good start for Frank's new job.

Before this, a series of preseasons of Tottenham Hotspurs are also worthy of attention, with opponents including Arsenal, Bayern and Newcastle, which will provide Frank with enough preparation time before facing Paris. When the season officially started, Frank could not be as slow as before. He took nine games to win his first victory while coaching at the Bronderby, and he lost eight of his first 10 games at Brentford. The future of Son Heung-min and Romero, 32-year-old Son Heung-min admits that his future is not very clear and that his contract with the team has one year left. According to Sky Sports, if Saudi Arabia is interested in Son Heung-min and offers a suitable offer, Tottenham will let Son decide whether to leave by himself.

And Frank might think it's time for the meritorious player to leave, especially after lifting the UEFA Cup. Or he would choose to keep Son Heung-min and hope that the captain will help him shape the team early in his coaching career.

But Frank may not have much say about Romero. Romero has a very good relationship with Postkoglu. In the farewell letter, Romero seemed to express dissatisfaction with Tottenham executives: "Although there are many obstacles, you have paved the way for the team from day one."

Atletico Madrid showed interest in the 27-year-old Argentina international, and Frank needed to evaluate whether the player is willing to devote himself to his plan. If Romero wants to leave, he can get a considerable transfer fee for Tottenham, and the funds can be used for signings.

How to enhance the roster and bring in more experienced players

Postkoglu urged Tottenham to sign more experienced players to deal with the Champions League. If players like Son Heung-min and Ben Davis leave the team, then this demand will be even more urgent. Young players Gray and Berrival will be in the Champions League for the first time, and if Frank wants to make a name for himself in the Champions League, then experienced players are required. Especially Frank himself has no experience in leading the team to play in the Champions League.

plus multi-line combat, Tottenham needs a thicker lineup. If Romero leaves, Tottenham may need a central defender, and the midfield and winger positions also need to be strengthened. According to Sky Sports, Frank is eager to bring Mbemo to Tottenham, and the two clubs have already conducted preliminary negotiations. In addition, Tottenham's interest in Bournemouth striker Semeno is also rising.

need to adapt to Tottenham's management structure and rely on technical director Lange

If Frank has a target candidate in the transfer market, the final decision will still belong to the club. Levi and technical director Lange are still decision makers, and Palatic, who returns to Tottenham, will also be involved. However, because Frank and Lange have a good relationship, the two have little problem with their work cooperation. They have worked together in the Denmark Linby Club and have known each other for many years. Having a close ally among Tottenham's top executives is crucial to whether Frank can sign a player he likes.

Control injury problems

This is a difficult problem during Postkoglu's coaching period. According to Sky Sports, too many injuries in the past two seasons are one of the reasons why Anger was dismissed. Frank needs to figure out why and come up with a solution, and he brought athletic performance director Haslam from Brentford, whose job is actually the chief physical coach. Haslam will serve as performance director and first-team assistant coach at Tottenham, and his job is very important to Frank.

Improved set-piece performance

This is also a major flaw of Postkogru's Tottenham. In the 24-25 season, Tottenham lost 13 set-pieces in the Premier League, and only 3 teams performed worse than them. By contrast, Frank's Brentford only conceded two goals, which was the best Premier League statistics last season.

Frank may make set pieces a central part of his coaching plan, and Brentford topped the Premier League last season with out-of-bounds scoring. Moreover, they scored goals in the first minute of the game through carefully designed kick-off tactics in three consecutive games. Frank seems to be the ideal candidate to solve this major flaw of Postkoglu.
