Tottenham, where the leader Son Heung-min has disappeared, is already shaking.
England's The Sun shed light on Tottenham's post-match situation on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Awkward moment when Tottenham stars ignore manager Thomas Frank.
Tottenham lost 0-1 in the 10th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Chelsea in the 2025-2026 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 2nd.
It was a helpless defeat. Tottenham have only tried three shots and have been dragged around by Chelsea all the time, showing their worst performance of the season. In the attack, he couldn't find a way out except Mohammed Kudus, and even Xavi Simmons made a mistake in the defense process, allowing a run. Tottenham collapsed if they failed to overcome a single goal gap.

The bigger problem is Tottenham's squad and Frank's situation. A shocking video was released after the game. The Sun added: 'After Tottenham's loss to Chelsea, Frank was brutally ignored by two players. Mickey Panderpen and Jed Spence appeared to walk quickly to the tunnel to the locker room with the end whistle. As Frenk appeared to come out to meet them and ask for a handshake, they walked away from Frank, without making eye contact. Frank turned around and glared at the two players as if he were not happy with the fact. Spence shook his hand in frustration' he revealed the situation at the time.
Fans also complained about the situation. Some fans say it's an insult to the director and the fans", "It's a really awkward moment," he pointed out.

Frank declined to comment on the situation at the time during a news conference. "It's true that all the players are frustrated," he said. "They want to win, they want a good performance. I understand that too. I understand the reason for asking the question, but it's a minor matter. Everyone is frustrated", he explained.
Meanwhile, Tottenham's Christian Romero will inherit the captain's armband after Son Heung-min this season, but the lack of leadership is being discussed little by little. Players who serve as captains instead of Romero, such as Panderpen, also showed difficulty in uniting the players. The absence of a player like the pillar that led the team for a long time is pushing Tottenham in crisis to a situation that could shake even more.
