14:18 Message ahead of the game, and how to be competitive in the Premier League
In the first of two exclusive masterclasses with The Coaches' Voice, Brentford manager Thomas Frank looks back on his team’s Premier League bow in August 2021. After sealing promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history via the playoffs just a few months earlier, Brentford began life in the top flight with a fully deserved win over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
Using the 3-5-2 formation upon which their promotion push was built in the previous campaign, Frank set Brentford up to attack opponents starting their campaign with ambitions of a return to European competition. Here, Frank talks us through the win, the reasons behind his team’s aggressive approach, why he likes to set his team up to “take risks”, his reasons for converting winger Sergi Canós into a wing-back, and how this performance convinced him that Brentford could compete in the Premier League.

#ThomasFrank #BrentfordFC #Masterclass
If u are not taking a risk,u are also taking a risk.Respect 👏
Underrated manager. I like to watch Brentford, they are quite good.
true
brentford are really underrated
As an Arsenal fan that was really painfull, but as a football fan this is really enjoyable
We're sailing on the same boat bro
**Insert Arthur angrily clenching his fist meme** Props to Thomas Frank for coming up with a excellent gameplan on that night, even when it came on our expense. He's doing a brilliant job at Brentford.
Danish coach is excellent. Midtjylland and the Danish national team are also playing great football.
These videos are great. I'd love to see one of Ole; I know he gets a ton of flack, but I know he must've been smart and it'd be cool to see his thoughts (and redemptive for him), particularly in some of Utd's bigger wins
I cannot agree more mate
His few wins against City
The league double over Man City and Chelsea.
@@atinyhorse1455 3-0 chelsea or 3-2 liverpool
@@Hi5GhostMUFC the Chelsea ones wouldn’t work cause the real reason they won was because Lampard had just got the job, and he was a completely inexperienced manager. Then when Lampard actually got the best out of his team, they comfortably beat United 3-1 in the FA cup semi-final and drew against United 0-0 the next season
This guys got a big future in the game very adaptive manager
This man understands modern football - all seems obvious if you watch the highlights....
Would be great to get him back to talk about how he defeated City TWICE last year. The only team / manager to do it last season against that treble winning team
Simply the best content for coaches. Thank you CV!
Definitely my favourite PL coach.
Why did you have to remind me of this game 😭😭
I'm a Liverpool fan but Brentford have a good coach in this guy. To be fair, I never really watched Brentford before this season, but I heard of him and watched his interview when they got promoted to Prem. I felt as if he's a genuine and honest guy who is also a bit interesting.
He tells everything so generously, top man for me and thanks to CV for bringing this video❤️
an absolute delight. Thanks you CV and Mr Frank for breaking it down. Your recruitment is truly great
As a Dane I have been following them for awhile in the championship because of the Midtjylland connection and interesting transfer philosophy. They are definitely doing things their own way, and I think they separate themselves from the pack that way.
if u dont take risk u also take risk 👏👏👏
Yes sirrr
would love to see a vid on klopp explaning his tactics on how his liverpool side beat barcelona 4-0 without 2 of his best attackers!!!
Pep Ljinders covered that a few days ago. Your wishes have been answered.
amazingly insightful loved it ❤️
Always a pleasure watching your content
Very clever, tactically clued up👍👍
Big move incoming for Mr Frank. What a great job he has done.
that wouldnt make sense for him, both him and his assistant have said theyre too invested in the project at brentford to leave now. His assistant (who was responsible for Brentfords defensive strategy) said no amount of money could take him away.
I can't believe he's explaining all of this this is so cool
This is why premier league is gold.Because of good coaches like Frank
This game was painful as an arsenal fan but at the same time intriguing to watch
Great Coach🎉
brentford just beat chelsea 4-1, hope to see a reboot of the masterclass
wow amazing
Id love too see one off thomas tuchel as he is so tactical
This guy speaks better English than most English people. It's his second, maybe his third language. Well, most English managers like Joey Barton and Neil Warnock.
A big thing that makes Brentford good to watch is what he mentions about creating "man to man" scenarios, even in defense. Most 'underdog' teams sit and wait for counters/frustrate opponents etc. But Brentford just go toe to toe, and seemingly the end result often depends heavily on the first goal. Watching this two years on from that first game, I dont think the tactics have become more shy which is great! Certainly don't need more Dyche-esque teams in the league.
very unfortunate with injuries but they played a beautiful football
Very SMART COACH
The strats are insane, just need to execute on the pitch and quick, confortably pass minded and we win all the games
Need one of these with Arry. "Welll ya know Crouchy fentestic goal great pass there from Neeko top top player triffic game"
I hope Arteta gets invited on this channel
Don't reveal all secrets Thomas 🤔 Great manager!
my manager
Zidane is completely free right now, please have him. Three-peat materclass would be much amazing , his second period too.
One on the playoff final please
Brentford is a well organized team
As this is a very recent match , I wonder how many opposition coaches have taken a look ar this video in addition to the Iive scouting and video work they already do
Professional
Brentford has been really good
Thomas Franck is a good coach
👏
Is this the most recent game featured in a masterclass video?
It is indeed
@@TheCoachesVoice nice
This guy is building leister city 2.0
get ole gunnar solksjaer to talk about any win against chelsea or city or even the 5-0 leipzeig or southampton pleaseee
I want to face brentford with full strength squad and enjoy the beautiful game
plz do bruno lage
1 on 1? ,I'm a Gooner but I'll respect that , very brave manager
Brentford is my secondary EPL team behind Liverpool
How can I get the coaching board?
🥰
I would love this guy once Klopp leaves Liverpool his pressing system is very interesting and he is working with peanuts but producing fantastic results.
People should also know how easy to intercept the biggeste teams So easy to read cross passe,
Why you don’t you give a chance for Marcus Forss, your #9, who came to England as 12 yrs old to BRHA Academy, give him chance come from the bench, 6 goals in cups this year.
Because he’s not as good as our #17 yet.
5-3-2 was pretty much prominent in the Euros as well, it's a good formation for the weaker teams, glad it was invented
It’s very easy to break down
@@jetfitness7975 you mean its easy to score against?
Gonna start a Brentford save now nahahaha
Brighton and Tony Bloom should do all they can to poach Thomas now.
after conte come to spurs you know you want to
Do next with Sean Dyche on how to lose a game 😂
Rate Thomas Frank highly and it was a great performance but that arsenal lineup was mediocre at best if this was a caraboa cup match this video wouldn’t be happening 🤣
He is so cute
Ten Hag watching this for tommorow
And still managing to lose. They implemented almost the same plan against United
beating brentford isnt for everyone.........
first
how the hell is he not a top flight manager?
He is 😂🤷♂️
What?
he is mate😂
