Tottenham Hotspur will travel to the Seoul World Cup Stadium to face Newcastle in their next pre-season friendly, and Thomas Frank says he hopes to see different approaches to attack and pressing, while also believing the team is getting closer to the level they want to be.

In the North London derby held in Hong Kong earlier, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Arsenal 1-0 after a goal contributed by Sarr, which successfully added a lot of confidence to the players.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank said at the press conference, "I am very much looking forward to this game. Newcastle is a very outstanding team. Eddie Howe and his coaching team coach very well. I have always admired them. This will be a very competitive game and a very good test for us. I hope we can improve further on the basis of the game against Arsenal."

“We performed well in some areas, such as high pressing or pressing in the midfield, but I hope to continue to strengthen these performances. At the same time, I hope to see more performance when we attack the front court, which is our next goal.”

In addition, in the first round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur will host newly promoted Burnley at home. Before the start of this game, Tottenham Hotspur will also face the Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain in the European Super Cup.

Thomas Frank continued, "We want to gradually build the physical foundation for the players. You can see the substitutions from the 45th minute, 60th minute, 75th minute to the 90th minute, and continue to advance the whole process. In these games, we hope to instill tactical concepts."

“From the games against Reading, Luton and Arsenal, our performances have been getting closer and closer to the level we want to reach, but we still have a lot of things to integrate into the team system, and it will take time to reach 100% condition. But some aspects will definitely reach a good level, and this is what we are working towards.”
