The Tottenham Hotspur are the European League winner in the draw of the group phase in the Champions League. The English have the potential to be a big surprise.
16 days after the Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League had won their first title after 17 years (League Cup in 2008), the successful charm had to go. Postecoglou was released as a team manager – and although the 60 -year -old may hardly have had too much understanding in view of his previous statements, he found only praise in a personal statement. And he said something that his ex-club now impressively underpins.
Frank Holt from Tottenham out what Poseteclou announced
“We laid the foundation stone, which means that this club does not have to wait another 17 years for the next success. I have great confidence in this group of players and know that there is still a lot more potential and growth in them”said Postecoglou back then. But whether he really expected Tottenham made such a strong impression in the first few weeks of the new season “Spurs” In this form in the Champions League can everything be trusted?
Thomas Frank took over the coaching job in London after making a name for himself at FC Brentford in the previous years in England. The Dane is considered an incredibly good leader. Again and again his cabin speeches are dissected on the Internet because he manages to get the whole team behind him so well. His heroes are not only the players who score the goals, but all his professionals who work hard for success every day.
Thomas Frank rose to the Premier League in his seven -year term at FC Brentford.
The “Spurs” now have the fitness that was still missing against Paris
Paris St. Germain was the first to experience that a team can unleash this – although not in the result. In the European Supercup, PSG had no chance against the Pressing of the English, Tottenham was the clearly better team and there were only a few moments until the next triumph. The “Spurs” still gave a 2-0 lead, the goals fell in the 85th and 94th minute, the penalty shootout then won the Parisians.
The team still lacked the breath to pull the Frank pressing through the entire game. But now there is the necessary condition. That was to be seen at the Premier League start against FC Burnley (3-0), but much more but with the sovereign 2-0 win afterwards at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola had long had as a long time “One of the best trainers” Described, in the direct duel he was given that in mind.
Is that really the Palhinha from FC Bayern?
Then the “BBC” already wrote: “Frank’s Spurs already show that there is a lot to love about them.” In general, love is a very big factor of the “Dream starts”as Frank denotes the first few weeks. And a prime example of this is Joao Palhinha, whose appearance in Tottenham has nothing to do with his unsettled achievements of the past at Bayern Munich.
“Sometimes players need confidence and have to be on top. I don’t think he’s quite as fit as I would like to have, but I am very satisfied with his performance and he definitely helps the team”said Frank about the Portuguese after scoring the 2-0 against City. Palhinha had already convinced FC Fulham in England from 2022 to 2024, now he has apparently returned to this way.
Plays again in the Tottenham jersey: Joao Palhinha.
And the defensive midfielder is not the only factor of a successful transfer period. The team was strengthened selectively, on the offensive with Mohammed Kudus by West Ham United and on the defensive with Kevin Danso – but it is even more important that the squad has stayed together and can now develop fully. Heung-Min Son is the only well-known departure, but it was a sporty manageable.
Tottenham can get among the best under Frank
Almost all players are still there from the team, which was 17th in the Premier League last season. But they are no longer the same players as a few months ago. This is due to the glorious end of a very difficult year in the Europa League, but also due to the change of coach. Frank has brought the faith back to the whole team, in Manchester she has proven that she can at least keep up with the best in the world – actually she had already done it against Paris.
Tottenham will therefore not look at the draw of the Champions League (6 p.m.) on Wednesday, but actually as a secret favorite, provided that the first impressions under Frank continue to be confirmed. With an exciting trainer, a young squad (only two Ü30 players), a new game idea and the recurring awareness of your own strength is “Spurs” to trust a lot. At least the following applies to the moment: Hot, Hotter, Hotspur.
