In the second round of the Premier League, Tottenham defeated Manchester City 2-0 away. After the game, Tottenham coach Frank accepted an interview with the media.

Frank said: "The results and overall performance were very satisfactory. Manchester City had a little advantage in the first 35 minutes. Our goals played a key role. The most important thing to do with a top team like Manchester City is to keep the pace of the game and stick to your own tactics. We performed very well in many aspects in the second half. We kept looking to score the third goal, but unfortunately we failed to do it. This was our second consecutive game of zero. Last year we had only six zero goals. This means a lot to me."

"I love Bren Tford, and now I’m gradually falling in love with this team. Last season was a tough season, but we ended up at a high level. When I came to the club, I saw the strong mentality and solidarity of the players. The team was great and very hard-working. I was so happy. "

" This is probably one of the most exciting wins, and it’s a tough task to come to Etihad to challenge Guardiola at Manchester City. We’re going to play one game after another, putting out as many top performances as possible and creating great moments, and then seeing what we can finally achieve What a height. "

"I think this is one of the most difficult away games in the Premier League. Manchester City hit all the ball, I think they had the advantage before we scored, completely suppressing us. We resisted the pressure. The team remained solid and showed a top-level mentality. After scoring the first goal, we basically performed better. "

"I feel the players have a strong mentality. This group of players went through a difficult season but ended at a high level. They showed a great mentality in many ways, and we need to base it on "Our goal ball attempts to organize the offense, which is sometimes successful, but the key is how we oppress the opponent's goal ball, we use a man-to-man tactic, which is very important to me."

For Richarlison, Frank said: "Today Richarlison is excellent again. His work attitude and everything is excellent. We need two good strikers, and there are still many games to play in the future. Now Richarlison is the starter, he just needs to keep his position."
