PSG and Tottenham: Thomas Frank catches everyone off guard

This Wednesday at 9pm (broadcast on Canal+) Paris Saint-Germain faces Tottenham at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine as part of the 2025 European Super Cup. At a press conference, Thomas Frank, coach of the Spurs, spoke about this match and the Parisian opponent.

Frank "But from a certain angle, the PSG situation has other advantages"

"It's a huge opportunity to win a trophy, against a team that wasn't bad last season (smiling). It's true, we had a more normal preparation and we, the coaches, always prefer a normal preparation. But from a certain angle, the PSG situation has other advantages: they were playing just a month ago, and they haven't lost everything, there are still traces of competition in their bodies, and they will play with a lot of freshness.

I am 100% convinced that PSG will be very competitive in this match. I think they are better armed for the whole season. But for a single match, we are ready."

While it is mainly emphasized that Paris only had a week of training for this match, compared to a full preparation for Tottenham, Frank does not necessarily see a PSG that is physically overwhelmed. Which is rather the position of observers, at least in France. But the arguments of the Danish coach also make sense.

The Parisians cut their break shorter, they start from further ahead in their preparation. However, PSG cannot be at its best either in this match. Except that Tottenham, which also had injuries, probably won't be either. These are different situations, with advantages and disadvantages.

It's not a question for the Spurs to think about an easy match, that's what the coach wanted to emphasize. This is understandable, the Parisians impressed last season. Especially in the face of difficulty.
