Thomas Frank happy for Xavi Simons after ‘good step’ in win over Brentford

Evening Standard

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank hailed Xavi Simons after he inspired a much-needed 2-0 home win over Brentford but urged him to make sure this “good step” is just the start.“Happy for him. He has been working very hard, he is a top pro, he is so determined and wants it so badly in every aspect of his game, but it’s a little bit of adaptation and also the team is a little bit out of sync,” Frank said.

00:00Do you think he's a good player?

00:05Yeah, definitely. I think every player needs that extra good performance.

00:10I'm so happy for him. He's been working very hard.

00:15He's a top pro, he's so determined, he wants it so badly in every aspect of his game.

00:23And it's just, you know, a little bit of adaptation, also that the team is a little bit out of sync.

00:28Every player needs that extra bit of confidence.

00:31And that comes from his performance, the team's performance.

00:34And I think that assist and the goal, I think, gave him that extra bit of lightness in his step and his touches and everything.

00:45So, for him, it was also an all-around very good performance.

00:50But that's what I believe from the beginning, that Xavi can produce that out of nothing.

00:56And I would say, every ring just needs a little bit of adaptation sometimes with everything.

01:02Him, the team, everything. And this was a very good step.

01:04Now it's the next thing to do it again and again and again.

01:06But, yeah, very happy for him.

01:08Yeah, very happy for him.

01:09Yeah.

01:10Very happy for him.
