Thomas Frank manager of Brentford, speaks out on incident after Aston Villa match involving Ivan Toney
After the game against Aston Villa, the manager of Brentford, Thomas Frank,
spoke with Nathan Collins and Ivan Toney about their intense altercation.
They argued at Villa Park because Toney was angry that Collins had not passed to him following the full-time whistle.
Frank said, “I don’t know; I was over there chatting to them, but I don’t know what it was, and I don’t really care,” in
response to the question of what it was about.
“I am aware that there are two fiercely competitive men who are trying to win this fight.
I’m not sure what the issue was, but our team is cohesive and we have a great culture, so occasional conflict is normal.
They’ll work things out without a problem.
After the 3-3 draw, Frank remarked, “Fantastic game and brand for the Premier League, demonstrating why it is the best
league in the world and the most entertaining.”
“I think it’s reasonable that Unai and I both think we should have won the game, and we can both have strong cases for doing so.
“That is a valid argument, in my opinion, but it is two points lost when we are in the lead and haven’t been able to cross the line in that circumstance.
Still, the performance is a positive step forward.
