As Brentford worked their way up to the top of the Championship, many were stunned. Where did this club come from, and who is this Danish coach Thomas Franks? This has changed on the ball island. Klopp, Guardiola and the other greats have hailed Frank as a football genius, with Brentford as a truly nasty opponent.
The London club have established themselves in the Premier League, but have budgets that make the management of Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham, who are all behind in the table this season, wonder how that is possible.
A lot of it is about the confidence Thomas Frank has injected into the players, management and supporters. We know how to punish the bigger clubs on the turf, lads.
According to Footballtransfers, Brentford and Thomas Frank (he is always lurking behind the scenes when it comes to bringing in Danish players) have just as well made a phone call to Barcelona. Former Chelsea player Andreas Christensen has been out with an Achilles injury at Barcelona, this season, but is now back. The Premier League club wants the centre-back on loan.
Brentford did it with Christian Eriksen after heart surgery, opening the door to restart his career. Now Christiensen is offered a central role in the world’s toughest league under Thomas Frank’s leadership instead of the bench at Barca.
