Thomas Frank says he understands Postecoglu's situation

The "Bees" Brentford will host the "Lilywhites" Tottenham Hotspur at home in the new round of the Premier League, and Brentford coach Thomas Frank said that he respects Postecoglou very much and can understand the pressure and situation faced by the coach.

With goals from Mbomo and Kevin Shad, Brentford beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the last round of the league. Brentford is currently ranked 11th in the standings with 31 points.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, after suffering four consecutive defeats, the "White Lily" is currently ranked 15th in the standings with 24 points, and is in a passive position in the fight for European qualification. However, in the earlier UEFA Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Elfsborg 3-0 at home and successfully advanced to the round of 16, which also restored a lot of confidence for the team.

Speaking of Tottenham Hotspur coach Postecoglou, Thomas Frank said, "We also suffered serious injury problems last season, so from this perspective, I can understand the situation that Postecoglou is currently facing at Tottenham Hotspur. When the team's record is not satisfactory, it will be difficult. But as a coach, we must face these challenges. I firmly believe that Postecoglou is handling this situation well, and he will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

"He doesn't need any advice, he just needs to continue to believe in his own system and philosophy, and he is a determined person, which is the most important thing."

In terms of head-to-head record, Brentford has achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 matches against Tottenham Hotspur, including a 1-3 away defeat to the opponent this season.

Thomas Frank said: "When we played Tottenham away this season, we played against a team that was in great form and I felt they were at their peak. When they play at their highest level, they are really difficult to play against."

“I expect this game to be one where both teams will want to attack, so it might be open at times. We need to be the team that takes control in open games, but it won’t be easy.”

Thomas Frank also said, "I have great respect for Postecoglu, and as a coach, it is indeed difficult to feel all the pressure on your shoulders. The final decision-making power always belongs to the coach, and it is also the coach who stands on the sidelines during the game, so I can completely understand his situation. But he has been trying to persevere and always keep the faith."

"Maybe in the most difficult moment for the team, they will win a trophy, which will be a huge achievement for Tottenham Hotspur. It may be a very difficult season, even more difficult, but in the end they may win a Champions League.
