Brentford boss Thomas Frank has shared his thoughts on Brentford’s upcoming pre-season tour.
Thomas Frank’s Brentford depart for the Premier League Summer Series in the USA today. The tour will see them face domestic rivals Fulham, Aston Villa, and Brighton, in matches in Washington, Atlanta, and Philadelphia.
The tour will give Brentford fans based in the United States as chance to see the Bees in action. The games themselves will help Frank’s side prepare for the new season. The Danish coach has been very positive about the upcoming tour, and has discussed his views on how it can aid his squad. As quoted by Brentford’s official website, Frank said, “we’re going to play three very good games and it’s going to be good for the branding of the club…but, first and foremost, it’s performance first. It’s about preparing the team to be ready to fly and attack the league next season.”
Brentford’s vital pre-season
Pre-season is a crucial period for every club. It represents the best opportunity for managers to integrate new players, introduce new ideas, and hone tactical plans. Frank will be keen to get new arrivals such as Nathan Collins, Mark Flekken, and Kevin Schade acclimatised to his methods and familiar with their new teammates during this time.
Frank will be keen to ensure his side maintain their positive momentum from last season. Strong showings in the America-based fixtures will be a helpful boost to the team’s confidence, even at this early stage. They are also a great chance for some of the club’s most promising youngsters to stake their claim for first team involvement in the upcoming campaign.
