Tottenham have avoided defeat in each of their last 20 UEFA competition games played at home, while they have only failed to score in one of their last 16 continental matches. Now, after their Europa League victory and impressive Super Cup performance they will hope to have a strong start against Villarreal.
Frank is ready for a challenge
Frank first admitted that he is looking forward to competing in the Champions League in what he thinks will be a “special” game.
"It's a big thing. I'm hugely looking forward to it. I know it'll be special when we have that Champions League anthem playing.
"Now it's preparation, there's a few more cameras, but it's business as usual. When we all go out onto the pitch tomorrow, then it'll be special.
"I believe I have a fantastic squad and we would like to go as far as possible. I think the most important thing is that it's one game at a time. Villarreal are a very good team, I've been very impressed when I've studied them, but we'll do everything we can to get a good start. It's going to be a good challenge."
The journey to the Champions League
Frank took over from former manager Ange Postecoglou and opened up on his journey to Tottenham and Europe’s most elite competition.
"It's a fantastic opportunity and experience.
"I was manager of Brentford in the Championship at Griffin Park, a small, compact stadium, and tomorrow we're playing in one of the best stadiums in the world, in front of our own fantastic fans. It's a European night and we know they'll be absolutely on it. It'll be so special."
Solanke return?
He then moved on to injury updates, first on striker Dominic Solanke who could return to the side in the coming weeks.
"He's taking steps in the right direction so that's positive. He's not ready to be involved tomorrow."
Muani will feature this week
Next, on Randal Kolo Muani, who he reveals will be involved on Tuesday night for the first time as he prepares for his Spurs debut.
"If we needed him to play, he could play 90 minutes, but can he play at the intensity and the level that we want? But he's ready and he'll be involved tomorrow, so that's the most important thing."
Fan of the new format?
Finally, Frank is asked if he is a fan of the Champions League format and gives a brief answer as he partly brushes it off.
"I am open to different things," he says. "It is interesting."
