Directed by the big man Frank, the rude van der Ben & Udo-gi defends! a start against Copenhagen



[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun, reporter] Tottenham manager Thomas Frank did not mind the incident in the last game. He expressed dissatisfaction with him indirectly, but he used the players as starters.

Tottenham will play FC Copenhagen in the fourth round of the European Champions League (UCL) League phase in the 2025-2026 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 4th (local time). The roster was announced ahead of the game. Van der Ben, Romero, Udogi and Pedro Porro will play four-back, with Vicario defending the goal. Pape Sarr and Bentancur stand at the waist. O'Dober, Simmons and Johnson were deployed to the second line of attack. Colomuani will be at the forefront.

The focus of attention is van der Ben and Spence and Udo contribution. Tottenham lost 0-1 at home in the Premier League against Chelsea on the 1st. After the game Van der Ben, Spence and Udoghi refused to shake hands with Frank. He went straight to the locker room without saying hello to his fans.




It became controversial locally. Tottenham greets Tottenham fans after the game since Son Heung-min was captain. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. It continued even after Son Heung-min left Tottenham. However, after the defeat, Van der Ben, Spence and Udoghi were criticized for ignoring Franck and his fans and going straight to the locker room. Speaking at a post-match press conference, Frank said, `It's a minor matter. Van der Ben and Spence have been performing well this season. It's just a little happening,' he defended the players. In the match against Copenhagen, he also started Van der Ben and Udo-gi, empowering the players.
