Thomas Frank has shared his strategy to maintain Richarlison’s fitness following the forward’s brace in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley.
Frank is superb at setting his side up to execute specific game plans designed for the toughest opposition. For example, the long-throw auditions held at the start of the pre-season were held with the PSG match, almost a month away, in mind. Kevin Danso’s ability quickly became apparent in training and he duly caused PSG real problems in Udine.
Frank says Spurs are supporting Tel and expects a huge reception for the 20-year-old in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley.
Tottenham are really keen to get Cristian Romero tied down to a new contract after appointing him captain, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey. Romero called Frank a ‘good coach’ after he chose him to take over from Son Heung-min as the captain of Spurs.
