Thomas Frank emphasizes numerous positives after Tottenham's loss in the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain. Tottenham led the match 2-0 with goals from Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero but surrendered the advantage late in the game. PSG equalized and won the penalty shootout. Frank praised his team's performance, noting they executed a solid game plan against a top team. He expressed pride in the players, despite the upcoming challenges due to an ACL injury to James Maddison, and indicated that squad strengthening may be needed before the season begins.
We played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best at this moment in time. We had them exactly where we wanted them for 80-something minutes, then it shifted momentum. But so many positives, so proud of the team, the players, the club, the fans.
We showed we could be tactical and pragmatic, high pressure, low defending, the first half was top, almost perfect. We showed we can play against any team in the world. That's a positive to take away from this.
