Frank: Madison is seriously injured and not optimistic; Son Heung-min may have played in Tottenham s last game

Hupu reported on August 3 that after the 1-1 draw with Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank attended the press conference.

What do you think of this game?

I think this is a wonderful game between two teams with similar strength. We scored a wonderful goal under high pressure pressing, and we actually had the opportunity to expand the score.

This largely reflects the style of playing we like. I also felt like we got 4-6 opportunities, and we could have created more opportunities at the time, but then we were a little behind. In the second half, we seized more opportunities. In a close match, the result was pretty good.

First of all, how is James Madison? What happened to him and Son Heung-min? Have you ever seen something like this on the football field? What will the scene in the locker room look like afterward?

Yes, life and football are both, and I think life and football are sometimes cruel, but sometimes beautiful.

So I think Madison's encounter is cruel. He looked very injured. Of course, we don't know his specific situation. Things don't look very good.

On the other hand, the wonderful scenes of Son Heung-min and his teammates are incredible, and Newcastle's respect for him is beyond words, and the players on the court praise it. The scene afterwards, first we walked around the court, and then his teammates gathered around him, and you can see him being emotional.

Then in the locker room, I also said a few words, very brief, because it was about Son Heung-min, and then he also said a few words, of course it was very touching, so the picture about Son Heung-min was very, very wonderful.

Tottenham has another game in the preseason. Is today the last game for Son Heung-min? Or does he still have a chance to play another game?

I think this is likely to be Son Heung-min's last game. Yes, very close, so that's the answer. Very short (laugh).

Can I quickly confirm where James Madison was injured?

We are pretty sure his injured knee is the same as last time.

What happened in the game preparation phase in the past 24 hours since Son Heung-min announced that he was leaving the team yesterday?

To be honest, I didn't reveal much. He knew he had to play, whether it was his last game or not, he would play, and he would be the captain of the team. So I think I talked to him about him, you know, I want to make sure we pay tribute to him the right way.

Of course, I also considered this from a professional perspective, so we also need other players to play. And so on, but that's just my personal opinion.

Which young player has performed outstandingly today and left a deep impression on you? How is Yang's performance?

I think of Archie Gray as the most prominent of all our young players. I think he is really impressive.

I like the way he dribbled forward, his positioning on the wing and running in the half-court space, and I also think he is very aggressive under confrontation and pressure.

I think Yang is a promising potential player and I'm glad to have the opportunity to get Yang on the court, especially in front of the home audience, he almost scored a goal, which is great for him and the team.
