Thomas Frank is satisfied with Tottenham's advancement: balancing squad rotation and competition is not easy

In the third round of the Carabao Cup, Tottenham Hotspur beat Doncaster Rovers 3-0 at home and successfully advanced to the next round.

After the game, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank commented on the team's performance, saying that this victory was a mission accomplished. Thanks to goals from João Palinha, an own goal from the opponent and Brennan Johnson, Tottenham won the game smoothly.

Frank said in the post-match interview: "I am happy with the victory, happy with the clean sheet, and happy that we have entered the next round, which is our goal. The performance in the first half was good, we created opportunities, led 2-0, and had the opportunity to score more goals."

"But the second half wasn't a good performance. We conceded too easily and didn't press hard enough, while Doncaster played well. They sometimes played short and sometimes long, which made it difficult. But in the end we got the job done."

Regarding the challenges of the match, Frank emphasized the importance of lineup rotation. He pointed out: "We need to use the lineup and we want to use the lineup. The team is strong and the players want and need to play."

"That's very important. But we have to make enough adjustments, not too many, and make sure the players are in the right positions. That's the challenge."

Frank added that if Spurs play more than 60 games this season, they must be precise in their rotation: "We need to remain competitive while taking care of the overall balance. The games are never easy, even against lower-level teams, they can still make things difficult for us."
