Tottenham Hotspur coach Thomas Frank expressed his satisfaction, although he lost the UEFA Super Cup unfortunately.
Coach Frank drew 2-2 with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup held in Udine Stadio Friuli, Italy on the 14th (Korea time), but lost after a penalty shootout (3-4).
After the game, Frank said, `I'm very proud of the players, the team, the club, the fans all. "I played one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best team in the world now, and the players put everything into it." "It was almost perfect, and the opponent did a good job even though he put in four players with tremendous personal skills at the same time. I'm proud."
Frank also mentioned his tactical choices.
He thought he had to do something a little different against PSG. It was kind of a special operation"In a medical comparison, the operation was successful, but the patient died. In the end, the last one was not good, but it was a bit of a special game plan that was almost on the verge of success."
Tottenham led 2-0 on the day and lost when they gave up goals to Lee Kang-in and Hamus at the end of the second half. It is regrettable that the last lack of concentration is disappointing.
Coach Frank said, `Soccer sometimes results in small differences. PSG kept pushing, pressing us with replacement cards"But until then, he had hardly given up a big chance. One shot went in from outside the box, and the flow went over and gave up the equalizer."
Frank also explained the cause of the game's defeat.
He sees "2-2 as a good result in itself. However, he lost the penalty shootout. Maybe we need to train more on penalties." "That could be the way to win the final, so the mentality and commitment the players showed throughout the game was great. There's a lot to be satisfied with."
The key to Frank's next season is pressure.
Frank said, "The aggression, the pressure, the commitment in defense, and the mentality to play with all our might should be our foundation every time"There are times when it works out, there are times when it needs to be better, but today it was good. Another positive thing is the set piece. We knew it was an area where we could have strengths against PSG, and we prepared really hard," he stressed.
