Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is off to a good start this season. It seems that it will take time to completely add his own color, but he has made great progress compared to Tottenham last season. Despite the departure of ace Son Heung-min, Tottenham is showing its organizational power and raising expectations.
England Football Insider said on the 29th (Korea time) "Tomas Frank is off to a great start after taking over as Tottenham manager."," he reported. At the same time, the media analyzed how Frank's Tottenham changed from the days of Enze Postecoglou.
Frank's Tottenham have lost just one of their six games, despite a large number of new players joining them. In the match against Wolverhampton on the 28th, he also scored one point with a dramatic last-minute equalizer.

Coach Frank is said to have ordered him to patiently create opportunities rather than hasty attacks even when he was trailing.
The media reported that `Frank rushed the pass and shouted to the players not to lose the ball, even though he was pushing the opponent.' `Frank asked them to calmly go for the equalizer instead of recklessly attacking them," he said.
Frank's strategy worked. replacement Pape Matar Sarr gave up a clean pass, and midfielder João Palinha's shot cut the opponent's net. It was an equalizer just before the end of the game.
Frank's tactics are compared to former Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou. Postecoglou was dismissed with a poor performance in the league despite leading Tottenham to a Europa League win.
Nevertheless, under Postecoglou, Tottenham had an average pass success rate of 85.9%, which was 2% higher than Frank's team. Postecoglou's team was also active in shooting attempts. At an average of 14 per game, there were two more than Frank's team this season.
Under Postecoglou, Tottenham were much more efficient in the penalty box. Postecoglou's Tottenham connected 87 more passes on average, especially in the opposition box.
Frank's Tottenham average 3.56 shots per game, less than 4.01 during Postecoglou's time. This means that Frank prefers a more cautious attack.
Despite the fact that the overall indicators are behind, coach Frank's Tottenham has a good winning rate because it is playing a stable defense. Tottenham have scored just four runs in six Premier League games this season.
As the team's stability grows, fans' expectations for this season are growing.
"If Frank can continue to combine such a flexible and controlled possession football with a hard and impenetrable defense, Tottenham will soon be able to add another trophy," the media said.
