The Dane last month replaced gung-ho Ange Postecoglou after he paid the price for a 17th-place league finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">But Postecoglou also won the club\u2019s first piece of silverware for 17 years by winning the Europa League \u2013 meaning Frank will not just inherit a squad full of players that excite him but have an immediate chance to impress in the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/champions-league\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">And in his first interview since leaving Brentford, who received \u00a310m in compensation, Frank made similar noises to his predecessor when it comes to describing his desired style.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cThe intention is to play aggressive, front-footed football. I know the ethos and the history of the club is it\u2019s massive on attacking football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/0_Thomas-Frank-file-photo.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>(Image: PA)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cThere\u2019s so much attacking talent in the squad. I\u2019m very excited by that. They\u2019ve clearly shown over the last two seasons that the ability to score goals is fantastic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cI\u2019m very, very in on that. I love a team that scores goals. We just want to build on that attacking football we already have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cI\u2019m a big believer in if you don\u2019t take risks, you also take a risk. It\u2019s important we take risks. \u201cIf we play man-to-man in some situations, the risk is you need to play forward. If you don\u2019t risk, you can\u2019t create anything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cThe players need to be brave and trust themselves. I\u2019ll do my best to instil that trust. If they lose the ball by trying, that\u2019s never a problem. Of course I can react, that\u2019s natural, but they need to do that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cIf they don\u2019t work hard, I struggle more with that. That\u2019s my non-negotiable. If you don\u2019t take risks, it\u2019s impossible to achieve something big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/KpLVIG1AXsd0FvfduhjjzO\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Join our new WhatsApp communityLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
