Arteta insists he admires Thomas Frank ahead of the Brentford game | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has expressed his deep admiration for the work Thomas Frank has accomplished at Brentford, as his Arsenal side prepares to face the Bees today.

Brentford have consistently demonstrated their capability to challenge the top teams in the Premier League. Regardless of their opponent, they exhibit a strong understanding of their own strengths and limitations, which has contributed to their commendable performances over recent seasons. This consistency and tactical awareness make them a formidable opponent for any club.

A significant portion of Brentford’s success can be attributed to their long-serving manager, Thomas Frank, whose influence at the Gtech Community Stadium has been widely acknowledged. His impressive achievements have not gone unnoticed, with speculation linking him to some of the most prestigious managerial roles in English football.

Despite Arsenal’s recent emphatic 3–0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League midweek, they remain cautious about the challenge Brentford could pose. The North London club recognises that facing Brentford is never straightforward, and every encounter demands complete focus and preparation.

Ahead of the match, Arteta was asked about his thoughts on Frank and the impact he has had. As cited by Arsenal Media, Arteta responded:

“A lot. More than respect, probably it’s admiration. He’s done it with a football club where everybody shares the vision, they have a very clear identity. It’s a club, a team that we can learn a lot from because the way they did it is very, very clever, in my opinion, and then the way the model has sustained and evolved as well is really well timed. Look at the results that they had away from home in the last six matches as well, we know what it’s going to require from us to beat them.”

Frank’s approach has been instrumental in shaping Brentford’s competitive edge, and his tactical acumen is expected to be evident once again as he prepares his side to challenge Arsenal this weekend. With both teams vying for crucial points, the fixture promises to be a compelling contest between two well-drilled sides.
