Below is the latest reaction from Thomas Frank, speaking after his debut as Spurs boss in Udine, Italy.
What did Thomas Frank say after Spurs lost UEFA Super Cup to PSG?
“Very proud of the players, the club, the team. They gave everything, played against one of the best in the world. 75-80 minutes, gave away nothing against a team with four players with incredible individual talent.”
“Probably decided [the tactics] the day after [losing to] Bayern. I knew we had to do something a little bit different against PSG. It was a special operation. In medical terms, the operation succeeded but the patient died. So, not that good in the end. But we worked on a game plan that was a little bit different and [it was] very close to succeeding.”
“I’d like to thank all the players who were brave enough to step up and take a penalty.”
“First and foremost I'm extremely proud of the team, the players, the fans, the Club.”

PSG boss Luis Enrique admits Spurs deserved to win
“Tottenham deserved much more. They played better than us. Football is sometimes unfair. I’m happy for that, but I must say it was unfair.”
