Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Gus Foye did not look at the Tottenham controversy as a big problem.

Recently, Tottenham has been speculated that the hierarchy between the coach and the team has collapsed. This is because of what happened after the match between Tottenham and Chelsea on the 2nd (Korean time).

Tottenham were thrashed 0-1 by rival Chelsea in their worst performance. After the game, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank approached Jed Spence and Mickey van der Penn and tried to say something. Surprisingly, Spence and Van der Penn walked into the locker room, looking at Frank's hand and ignoring him. He also ignored the greetings of other Tottenham coaches waiting outside the stadium. Controversy arose over whether the players trusted the coach properly.




Coach Frank said after the game, `All the players are frustrated. They want to do well, they want to win, they want to perform well. So I understand that```.

In an interview with British Football 365 on the 3rd, Foyet said, `It cannot be said that it is because of Frank. I know him well, and he's a great coach. "But I don't like managers walking into the ground and standing among the players after a game in England for a few years."

"That day, Tottenham players were frustrated with the result, frustrated with the performance, and frustrated with the reaction of the fans. There was an outpouring of boos. In such a situation, it is difficult to accept whatever the coach says. It's right to just go in." He argued that Spence and Van der Penn's actions shouldn't be a big problem.

Also, director Foyet said "I'm a little old-fashioned. The coach just has to shake hands, say hello to the fans, and go into the tunnel. It should be the players who are in the spotlight. Why should the coach stand in the middle of the stadium after the game. This method has the potential to create unnecessary collisions. If you go to the referee, you'll complain, and you'll get unnecessary warningsThe coach added that there was no need to talk to the players or the referees at the stadium after the game.

For now, the situation has been settled with apologies from Spence and Van der Penn. At a press conference ahead of the 2025-2026 European Champions League match against FC Copenhagen on the 3rd, coach Frank said, `Pan der Penn and Spence came directly to my office yesterday. I didn't sing it, I came in person. 'I'd like to say sorry for the situation"The two players apologized to him," he said.

Coach Frank said, `That was not my intention at all towards me, the team, the club. They were just frustrated by the content of the game, the losses, and the boos that came out during the game."
