Tottenham president Levi made a controversial decision this summer, dismissing head coach Post Koglu who led the team to win the Europa League championship and appointing Thomas Frank as the team's new head coach. Recently, Levi said in an interview with Sky Sports The Overlap that winning the Europa League is not enough, and he hopes that Tottenham can win the Premier League and the Champions League, but not immediately.
Address Thomas Frank
"Every time you appoint a coach, you always believe that this is the right decision, but it takes many factors to make this decision right. Frank is a very smart person, and his communication skills are excellent. I think he can not only do a good job in developing young players, but also make old players better. He understands the style of football we want to play, and understands that Roma is not built in one day. We didn't tell him that he must win the Premier League this year, but the faster the better, we won't put pressure on him, we just hope to compete at the highest level."
Address Spurs fans frequently protested
"I believe that when I leave here, the work I do will be recognized. When you come It should be a signal when you see this grand building, and other clubs who are following what we do, that's a sign that we've made bold and right decisions. Of course, the dissatisfaction of the fans makes me sad, but their pain is also my pain. I also want to win games, and when we're not doing well or can't win, I can assure you that I'm just as painful, which ruined my entire weekend, it's really hard. You're involved in the sport to win, and if you can't win, there's no fun to speak of."
"I think the criticism against me is totally unfair, and those who work at the club and know how it works know that I've never interfered in the team's signing decisions, which are always made by the coaches and the technical team. The only thing that will make me step in The situation is that when they decide which player to buy or sell, I will try my best for the club, and other than that, I won't interfere with decisions at the football level, which is no different from other clubs. It's not just my decision, it's the decision of the board. When we decided to appoint Frank, there were a lot of people involved, and I was just one of them."
Talking about whether Frank will be fully supported in the transfer market
"We will do our best to support him, look at the transfer fee, we have been one of the four most spent teams since the new stadium was launched, and we have invested about 700 million net in bringing new players. But it's not just a matter of money, it also requires some luck, the team needs proper balance, and the right coach, a lot of Things need to work together. I really hope Frank brings all the necessary factors to bring the club to where it should be, that is, the top ranks. "
Talking about whether the Europa League champion was the biggest achievement in the years of Tottenham. "Of course, especially the days after the final we held a celebration parade, and the whole world could feel this emotional catharsis, which is great. It has nothing to do with money, but because we need a trophy. I assure you that a few days later we realized that we also qualified for the Champions League, and the key to everything is to win the trophy, which is my most proud moment. "
Talking about the criteria for success in the next three years, "We need to continue to compete at the highest level, and to continue to win the trophy, that's everything."
