Tottenham are currently preparing for the "North London Derby" away from Arsenal. Before the game, Tottenham coach Frank attended the press conference.
About the player status after the international match
Players such as Sarr, Berivar, Kolo Mouani and others are in good condition. Sarr has completed training today and is eligible to play. Berivar has also completed training and is ready to play; Kolo Muani participated in training today and is able to play although he needs to wear a mask. As for Solanke, he's not quite ready yet. We adhere to the consistent principle that we must ensure that players are fully recovered before arranging their appearance. While he's optimistic about returning, I wouldn't put a specific timetable on it.
Talk about the feelings of the first North London Derby
This is a real derby, and I am full of expectations. I already understood the importance of this game before joining the club, and after experiencing it myself, I realized its special significance. From fans, staff to long-term players, everyone showed their emotions for this game. I always think the next game is the most important, but I know very well that there are two fights in a year that are particularly special, and this is the first of them. We are ready to win.
Talk about the revelation that Arteta took six years to build the lineup
This is a model of the club's long-termism. Arteta only became truly competitive in his fourth season, now in his seventh. This shows that it needs to go through a complete cycle: taking over the team, running in for two full seasons, and taking shape in the fourth year. Success often depends on the details, but sticking to the process is fundamental.
About new book creation
We are indeed preparing new books, but the quality should be judged by readers. The book will mention an interesting experience when I met Chelsea and Manchester United on the same day, when I was facing a career decision. Now that I'm coaching a big club like Tottenham, I'm looking forward to Sunday's game.
Facing away records and historical data
I pay more attention to the team's current away performance. Although Arsenal currently lead the table, we will fight to win. Historical data shows that Tottenham have only won once at the Emirates Stadium in the past 15 years, but the team's record of winning away games this season gives us confidence.
Talk about Arsenal's set-piece threat
This is a major test. The number of goals scored from opposing set pieces leads the league, and we are the team that has conceded the fewest goals. This will be one of the key battles that determine the game. In addition, preparations need to be made in terms of high pressing, defensive organization, etc.
How to break Arsenal's solid defense
We believe in the ability to score away goals. The key is to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm - although this is challenging, it is our offensive strategy.
The three defenders have made progress in their recovery.
Dragusin has resumed training for two weeks, played 45 minutes for the first time in nine months, and is close to entering the squad. Kodai Takai and Ben Davis both participated in joint training today and are in positive conditions.
Talk about the impact of players returning to the team one after another
Archie Gray has also returned to the team to train together. Now I need to make tough lineup choices.
The significance of Brent Johnson’s goal for the national team
All players need confidence support. His wonderful goal for Wales, together with his previous outstanding performances against Copenhagen and Manchester United, all showed his positive momentum.
Compare the differences with each club’s negotiations
There are similarities in the content of the negotiations, both of which must demonstrate the coaching philosophy. But what makes a north London derby special is its unpredictability, which can be full of chaos, drama and even red cards. Although both coaches strive for control, the game is likely to turn into a fierce duel. We look forward to this challenge and will never settle for a draw.
The origins of set-piece tactics
I worked with Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Joffe for three years, and current coach Andreas Georgsson also worked with Brentford. We attached great importance to set-piece training when we were at Brentford, which is the basis for the current system.
Latest injury information
Kudus has completed training today. Thanks for the reminder. The list of injured does need to be updated in time.
Tactical formation selection
During the Brentford era, they mostly used a three-back system against strong teams, but last year they switched to a 4-3-2-1 formation. This is not a special case against Arsenal, but a general strategy for teams such as Liverpool and Manchester City.
Whether to consult former CEO Vinay Venkatesham
I respect Vinay's ability as a top CEO, but at this moment we are focusing on our own preparations.
Talk about the lineup update plan
The lineup will definitely be different after six years. This is the law of football. We will evaluate the lineup construction next spring and naturally complete the replacement of the old with the new.
