Thomas Frank has labelled “fantastic communicator” as the edge of Tottenham Hotspur, past Premier League Leeds United – “changed mentality”

Spurs were framed 2-1 past Leeds 2-1 on Elland Road, courtesy of the goals of Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, both sides of the Noah Okafor Tap In.

“It’s a mentality that Frank has changed at Tottenham,” TNT Sports Pundit Crouch said. “He is an incredible communicator.

“You in the way he speaks, he places his arms around people and tells them how good they are, the qualities they have.

“We talk a lot about football tactics, but the personal side is that we can talk to people and get the most out of them and give them confidence.

“From the time I spent with Thomas Frank, he’s been a good guy to talk to, a guy who lifts players, and I think there should be a lot to say about that in the era of tactics and formation and the way you play.

Joe Hart, a former British shot stopper for Manchester City and Spurs, added:

Hart continued: “He is one of those people you can talk to. He is very personality, very open and you can say that he absolutely adores the game.

“It’s great to be in charge of someone like that every day. He’s willing to hear people and perhaps hear different opinions.”

Frank told the TNT panel that “characters” are the key foundations for building “great teams” after Spurs’ victory over Leeds.

Dane has seen his new side be beat only once since taking over from Ange Postecoglou, who lost 1–0 to Bournemouth in August.

The Spurs boss said:

“It’s a very long season and there are so many difficult opponents. The Premier League is merciless, the differences between the teams are very small. And there are so many small set folds in the game.

“You have to keep mercilessly going on which team (the character) is at the heart of a team, and of course you have to play good football. But the core of a great team is your mentality and character.”

Tottenham hosted Aston Villa, returning to action after an international break on Sunday, October 19th.
