Coach Thomas Frank officially acknowledged the players' apology, but controversy continues.
The British Football Insider reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Frank has been criticized for his disappointing recent performance and controversy in the stadium'
Tottenham's rude behavior recently became controversial. The situation has been a problem since the 0-1 defeat at Chelsea last time. Mickey Panderpen and Jed Spence appeared to walk quickly to the tunnel to the locker room with the end whistle. Frank asked for a handshake to console them, but the two players walked away from Frank and headed to the locker room without making eye contact. Frank turned around and looked at the two players with bewildered eyes.

Controversy grew when the scene was reported. Some fans say it's an insult to the director and the fans", "It's a really awkward moment," he pointed out. Frank said in a post-match interview, `It's true that all the players are frustrated. They want to win, they want good performance. I understand that, too.' The BBC in the United Kingdom said that 'Frank said this was an expression of frustration, but despite his words, this public behavior is not a good one'.
Frank later said in a pre-interview with Copenhagen that `the two players came to my office yesterday and said they wanted to apologize for the situation. He said he didn't want all the misconceptions that could happen in this beautiful media world to be seen as bad or rude. They were just frustrated by the deterioration in performance and the boos during the game because of the defeat", he defended the two players.
However, the situation does not seem to change much. Criticism continues. Football Insider added 'Panderpen and Spence were frustrated by the booing, and it was also claimed that they ignored fans along with Frank's disregard. The real reason for their frustration is not revealed, but such a hostile attitude is being pointed out as a problem.

Mick Brown, a former Tottenham scout, responded to the situation by saying, `It could be a big problem if players don't show respect for the manager"I think the coach wanted the players to thank the fans. But the players were clearly frustrated. Whatever the reason, players leaving the stadium like that makes a bad impression on the fans. If you have this problem in the locker room, you should nip it in the bud so that the problem doesn't grow", he pointed out.
Tottenham is shaking even more with its poor performance. Fans will also continue to watch how Tottenham, which faced its first crisis under coach Frank, will be able to rebound at a time when internal problems have been raised.
