Thomas Frank speaks ahead of Tottenham's match against Brentford in the Premier League. He says that he wants to win ugly like Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:23 - Biggest memory of Brentford: many magical moments. The promotion is the standout. First time in 74 years that’s unique. It was also pretty nice to beat Arsenal 2-0. 01:15 - Souvenir from Griffin park?: I lot of pictures at home, when I’m not in football I’ll make a room from my seven years at Brentford and seven years at Tottenham. 01:45 - Football you can't show emotions. But a lot of good emotions. 02:24 - Contrast between home and away form: positive, to be competitive away from home is the sign of a good team. Home, we need to dominate it. 03:26 - It’s not like zero to 100, there’s elements of nice offensive football, it’s just not consistent. 04:50 - Tottenham to be good sellers?: It’s key. There’s a lot of elements to do well to be a good team, selling is one of them. 05:50 - One player you’re proud of developing?: a lot of good success stories, a lot have taken time. Bryan Mbuemo took six years, and left at the top of his level. 06:47 - Odobert comparisons?: He’s 21 I think, he’s a good example. He has good appearances but do we have a team to give him time to get better. 08:03 - Come across Brentford and spurs fans?: I was in London and met and Brentford and Tottenham fan. The Brentford fan said thank you and the spurs fan said keep doing what you’re doing. 09:32 - Thiago injury good preparation for Solanke injury?: Yoane Wissa did well before that and continued playing anyway. Little similar here, with Richy playing and doing well. 11:23 - Dean Smith going back to Brentford, you won 1-0, memories?: Dean had done a top job, stabilised Brentford and gave them hope. 12:18 - Thursday your chance to say goodbye?: definitely. Football is a special industry but you never get the opportunity to say goodbye. 13:34 - Looking to win ugly during this Christmas period?: it’s so important. We are building something
