Overview
- Richarlison converted a Mohammed Kudus cross in the 10th minute before linking again with the summer signing for an acrobatic second goal in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Burnley.
- Frank described the second goal as an early “Goal of the Season” contender and praised Richarlison’s work rate, pressing and link-up play.
- He acknowledged Richarlison missed many games over the last three seasons due to calf and hamstring problems and pledged to manage his minutes through substitutions and rotation.
- The performance and medical departments were credited with preparing Richarlison to sustain high-intensity play after his injury-plagued previous seasons.
- Tottenham now prepare for a Premier League trip to Manchester City on August 23, which will test Frank’s strategic balance between impact and fitness conservation.
