New footage has emerged of Thomas Frank being awkwardly ignored by two of his Tottenham players after a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spurs were booed off by their fans after they were beaten by their bitter London rivals on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

And while focus was on the poor performance from Frank’s side, as they only mustered three shots, a concerning moment occurred between the manager, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence.<\/p>\n

Van de Ven and Spence instantly headed for the tunnel after the full-time whistle, coming across Frank on the way.<\/p>\n

But despite the Dane appearing to be talking to the pair, they completely snubbed their boss, walking straight past.<\/p>\n

Spence waved his hands in the air, seemingly ranting to himself or Frank as he trudged off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Van de Ven didn’t even acknowledge his manager, going on to ignore another coach on the touchline too.<\/p>\n

Frank was left standing on his own on the pitch, staring angrily back at his two defenders for a few seconds.<\/p>\n

He then walked away to shake the hands of some Chelsea players and clap the fans remaining in the stands at full-time.<\/p>\n

The Spurs manager was asked about the strange incident in his press conference, but he played it down.<\/p>\n

“All the players are, of course, frustrated,” Frank said post-match.<\/p>\n

“They would like to do well, they would like to win, they would like to perform well, so I understand that.<\/p>\n

“I think it is about which is difficult to be consistent in good times and in bad times.<\/p>\n

“That is why I went around to the fans as I did. It is more fun when we win, I can tell you that.<\/p>\n

“I understand why you ask the question, but I think that is one of the small issues.<\/p>\n

“We have Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence, who are doing everything they can.<\/p>\n

“They perform very well so far this season, and everyone is frustrated.<\/p>\n

“We do things in a different way, so I don\u2019t think it is a big problem.”<\/p>\n

What else did Frank say?<\/h2>\n

After discussing the incident between him, Van de Ven and Spence, Frank went on to speak about the boos his side received.<\/p>\n

The Tottenham boss admitted that he understood why the fans were unhappy, saying: “Yes, 100 per cent. We all sense the frustration and the emotions. That is part of football. It is extremely painful.<\/p>\n

“Of course, that is part of the job to face you guys [the media] now and answer the very good questions when you just are burning inside.<\/p>\n

“And you like to find solutions, watch the game back and see what went wrong, but I think it\u2019s about trying to stay calm.”<\/p>\n

Frank continued: “In general, I think Chelsea were good and we were definitely second best. We performed badly. I think we lacked energy and intensity, and that freshness we didn\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n

“Then I think the high pressure they came with, I don\u2019t think we solved it well enough even though we worked on it, so that we need to keep working on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
