Tottenham coach: There is no friendly match against Arsenal, we are both excellent offense and defense

After Tottenham defeated Arsenal 1-0 in the warm-up match, Tottenham coach Frank attended the post-match press conference.

This is the first North London derby held overseas in the UK, with Tottenham hitting the goal frame three times in the first half at Kai Tak Stadium, and Saar scored a wonderful goal before the end of the first half to help Tottenham take the lead.

Although Arsenal has worked hard to attack, it has not posed too much threat to Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario. In fact, in the 60th minute of the game, Terr, who came on the bench, made a wonderful breakthrough on the left, which should have brought Tottenham's second goal, but unfortunately, Van Devin's header had a great chance to go against the top.

The following are all Frank's speeches at the post-match press conference of Kai Tak Stadium.

Regarding players improving their defensive abilities by blocking small-sized balls in training, has this training method paid off in the game?

Yes, the results are very satisfactory. I think we have made it clear that this is not a friendly match, it is a formal match, and you can see how intense the game is. We have done a lot of preparations in the defensive organization, including high, medium and low defense, with clear tactical principles. It is very important to keep our goal unconfiscated because it gives us a greater chance of winning.

What do you think of Saar's goal?

This is an incredible goal. Great, very good cum. All the credit is attributed to Thrall. I must admit that he impressed me. He has performed very well over the past four weeks.

Is it important to the team's psychological level?

For a team under construction, all the positive results are important to us, and the players can feel this and work together in defense. We played well in the first half overall. I think we retreated a little too much in the second half, but that doesn't matter, the set piece defense is doing a good job. In fact, not only do we defend well, but we also have a threatening offense.

What did you say to the players during the hydration break?

are basically tactical arrangements. For example, I told Van Devin that he would be slightly behind, so that he would have a choice to pass the ball; for example, I would let the players pass more and more long passes.

Will you consider coming to Hong Kong again for the preseason?

Of course. I will think seriously. Everyone who organized the event was excellent. It is very important for everyone to see the crowded audience tonight and these enthusiastic fans. All the work of the event organizer was done perfectly and I was very satisfied.

What do you think of the hardware facilities here in Hong Kong, China?

I think it's good. The hotel is very good and the training ground is very good, which is very important to the team. Of course, the court is good, too.

Do you have a better understanding of your tasks and work at Tottenham?

Absolute. I think I had a pretty clear concept before, but I didn’t really know what I was going to do until I really got into it. Especially when you see fans waiting for us every day, whether in the morning or evening, and those who are here to watch training and games, you can increasingly understand the size of Tottenham and its meaning to the fans.

Can you talk about Kudus' performance in this game?

I think Kudus performed very well today. His ball-handling ability, his ball-holding method in difficult situations, one-on-one skills, and his ability to create opportunities are all top-notch. In addition, he worked very hard. In the back defense after a set piece, he went all out to run back and successfully steal. That's how he helped the team. His offense excited many fans, and he will also help the team on the defensive end.

How far is Solank from his comeback?

is getting closer. If you can't catch up with Newcastle's game, then it should be fine against Bayern.

About embracing Noelgao after the game "I'm a little excited. I've known him since he was 15. He's now 31. I coached him for 12 years, and I can say I've known him for a long time. This is my first time playing against him. He has played for more than 300 games for me. It feels a bit strange to see him in the opponent's lineup. He is a top player, and I understand why Arsenal wants to sign him. I'm glad he got this great opportunity at the end of his career."

Romero handed the captain's armband to Son Heung-min after the final whistle. Have you decided the captain's candidate?

has not been finalized yet, and I hope to get a better understanding of these players before making a decision. I know I need to decide who is the captain before the Super Cup match against Paris Saint-Germain. It is natural to have Romero and Son Heung-min as captains, so we currently continue the arrangements of last season.
