King Turns on Frank’s Coaches After Another Setback for Tottenham Ace
Tottenham Hotspur’s recent struggles have taken a new twist, with club legend Ledley King reportedly criticizing Thomas Frank’s coaching staff over recurring problems affecting one of the team’s key players. The issue, sources suggest, is not the player’s talent or effort, but what King perceives as systemic mismanagement behind the scenes.
After yet another match in which the Tottenham star visibly struggled and had to be substituted late, King is said to have voiced his frustration, arguing that repeated injuries, fatigue, and dips in form are being caused by training methods, tactical overload, and insufficient recovery management rather than bad luck.
> “When you see the same issues happen over and over with the same player, you have to look at the way the coaching staff is preparing him,” King reportedly stated. “At this level, intensity is important, but so is protecting the player’s body.”
A recurring pattern under Frank
The player in question has been operating in a demanding role under Frank’s high-intensity system, often covering extensive ground both defensively and offensively. While this approach aligns with Frank’s vision of pressing football, the repeated physical strain has raised concerns. Analysts point out that the player’s workload is among the highest in the squad, with visible declines in energy and performance emerging in the final stages of matches.
King’s comments have echoed frustrations long held by fans, who have repeatedly questioned why key players are being rushed back into action without adequate rest. Social media has been flooded with posts highlighting the recurring struggles of the same star, many suggesting that better rotation and sports science oversight could prevent these repeated setbacks.
Pressure mounting on Frank’s coaching setup
Tottenham’s poor run of form has only intensified scrutiny on Frank and his backroom staff. With the club languishing in the middle of the Premier League table and European ambitions slipping further away, the spotlight has shifted from tactics alone to how the squad is being managed physically and mentally.
Insiders suggest that King’s public stance could be the first of many voices within the club questioning Frank’s approach. While the Danish manager has continued to defend his staff, insisting that player welfare is a priority, the growing list of players struggling with fatigue or minor injuries is making those reassurances harder to maintain.
What it means for Tottenham moving forward
If the same player issues continue, pressure will inevitably mount on Frank’s coaching team to reassess training methods, recovery routines, and rotation policies. With Tottenham fans desperate for stability and results, any further setbacks could intensify calls for structural changes behind the scenes.
For now, all eyes will be on the upcoming fixtures and whether Tottenham can manage their squad better to avoid another high-profile struggle — or if King’s warning is just the start of a growing storm in the Spurs camp.
