In a recent conversation with TNT Sports, Thomas Frank highlighted the positives from their match, despite a late-game twist that resulted in a draw. He expressed optimism about the team’s efforts and resilience.

“A major takeaway from today’s match is our performance in the second half,” Frank remarked. “We adhered to our game plan, maintained structure, stayed engaged, and believed in our strategy.”

Frank emphasized the importance of discipline, stating, “We had to persist without getting distracted by unnecessary actions.”

He praised the players’ determination, noting, “The most encouraging aspect was the players’ reaction and their perseverance throughout the game.”

Reflecting on missed opportunities, Frank mentioned, “In the first half, Richarlison had a significant chance with a free header, and he needed to capitalize on that.”

‘It was a positive step in the right direction [for Xavi Simons]. He worked hard, landed on the right second balls, was involved in the right actions. He’s getting closer.

‘This was two very even teams playing each other. We gave away five shots – on paper, that’s an unbelievable defensive performance.’
