Coach of newly promoted English Premier League side Brentford Thomas Frank says the midfield partnership that prosecuted the game against Arsenal is partly responsible for the win over the Gunners last week Friday.
Brentford marked their return to the English top flight with a 2-0 win over Arsenal with their Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka who was signed in the summer catching the eyes with a strong performance in the midfield.
Ahead of the game against Crystal Palace this weekend, the coach praised the midfield which had the Nigerian as part of their success against Arsenal saying they did an unbelievable job.
It is expected that all three players mentioned by the coach will play an important part of their plan this weekend as they go in search of another win at Selhurst Park.
If everyone was fit, there is a big chance that both Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen would have started the game. It is fantastic to have Vitaly Janelt and Frank Onyeka doing an unbelievable job alongside Christian Norgaard of course. We need to have that strength in depth and also players to play different games”, the coach said at the pre match conference for Saturday’s game.
”For Arsenal, it was good to have Frank and Vitaly who are two pressing machines; they are constantly going and must be a nightmare to play against. They were a big part of why we were successful on Friday night”.
