“He’s very dangerous”….Thomas Frank says 29-y/o Chelsea player is the ‘most dangerous’ player after Brentford draw
In the enthralling clash between Brentford and Chelsea on a Saturday afternoon, a 2-2 draw left fans divided at the Gtech Community Stadium, much to the chagrin of Thomas Frank.
“Raheem Sterling is probably in his best age and is getting back to his high level,” Frank said, via quotes by the Mirror. “He has been the most dangerous player for Chelsea this season.”
The initial setback occurred as Nicolas Jackson orchestrated a 1-0 lead for the visiting Chelsea side, prompting a disapproving chorus of boos from a segment of the crowd at halftime. However, Brentford swiftly countered in the second half, with Mads Roerslev leveling the score before Yoane Wissa’s acrobatic volley propelled them into the lead. Axel Disasi’s late heroics salvaged a point for Chelsea, mitigating the sting of their recent 4-2 defeat to West Ham.
Post-match, Frank expressed contentment with his team’s response, despite falling short of a coveted three points. “I would have loved three points, but it was a relatively even game in terms of chances. I’m very pleased with the response after a bad performance at West Ham. Today I must say, impressive,” remarked Frank. Reflecting on the team’s growth since their promotion three years ago, he highlighted the contrast against Chelsea, noting, “Three years ago when we got promoted, Chelsea won the Champions League, and I think they have renewed their squad since then. We had seven players out injured, they had a full squad, and we battered them in the second half. This was a proper Brentford performance.”
However, the jubilation was tempered by the discontent of some supporters at halftime. When questioned about the reaction, a visibly perturbed Frank expressed his desire to engage with them, questioning the essence of their support. “I heard that. I’d like to speak to them. Is that support? I know I can’t swear, but what the…?”
The draw elevated Brentford to 15th place in the Premier League table, reclaiming their position above Everton after the latter’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham. Despite Everton temporarily overtaking them due to a points deduction appeal, Brentford’s resilience on the field has reestablished their standing above their Merseyside rivals.
