What did you say?
Thomas Frank talked about the pressure he faced: “I have always felt trust along the way.” Frank said. “I’ve said it at every press conference, there’s support and support.
“I had lunch today with Nick (Boettcher), Vinay (Venkatesham) and John (Lange) and everything was fine. I know it’s part of the media circus, how do you say it, and my only focus is to do my best and get us a win against Dortmund tomorrow.”

Dortmund coach Niko Kovac: “We want to win and to do that we have to put in a top performance.
“It’s an important game. We are neighbors in the table. The winner still has a chance of reaching the last eight. But we also know that Tottenham have kept a clean sheet in their first three home games. That means we have to work hard, work a lot, work focused.”
