tottenham Owner Thomas Frank defended mickey van de ven And Jade Spence appeared to ignore his manager after 1-0 defeat to Chelsea On Saturday.
Spurs players faced boos from the home crowd after the final whistle, and although Frank encouraged his team to take a lap of praise around the stadium, Van de Ven and Spence walked straight into the tunnel, scolding their boss.
“Obviously all the players are disappointed,” Frank said when asked about the incident. “They’ll want to do well, they’ll want to win, they’ll want to perform well, so I understand that.
“I think it’s hard to be consistent in good times and bad times. That’s why I went to the fans. It’s more fun when we win, I can tell you that.”
When pressed on the duo’s reactions and whether their actions were acceptable, Dane said the pair were “doing everything they can”.
“I think it’s one of the smaller issues. They’ve done very well so far this season and everyone is disappointed. We do things differently, so I don’t think it’s a big problem,” he said.
There was jubilation at full-time as Spurs fell to third Premier League Defeat of the season, Frank’s team have won only one of their five home matches in the league this season. Furthermore, they have not won consecutive league matches since August.
And the Dane was somewhat understanding of the fans’ reaction, while also insisting that his team needed time to gel.
“They [the fans] He did everything possible to support us in a game in which we did not perform well. Chelsea were better than us that day,” he said.
“There’s no doubt, and I keep saying this, that we have a front four who are new. We have to build together with small changes in games. We will do that. I have no doubt that will happen.
“I think every team I have coached has scored a lot of goals. That will happen again here in the future,” he said.
