Thomas Frank talked about expectations for trophy hunting at Tottenham.
Spurs suffered a 17 year trophy drought before they lifted the Europa League in May with a 1-0 win against Man United in Bilbao in the final. They then went 2-0 up against Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup in August before blowing the lead and losing narrowly through a penalty shootout.
The side are still looking to piece together a future without Harry Kane or Son Heung-min, and it may be a long time until they consistently compete at the levels of the team from the Mauricio Pochettino era. But that does not mean more silverware cannot come their way in the meantime.
Thanks to a 3-0 victory over Doncaster, Frank’s men moved into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup and they will embrace the chance to chase another major honour as they face Newcastle United.
“I think it was very clear that we're in this game because we love it and if you are in a club like Tottenham, we would like to do whatever we can to win. I said from the beginning, I'd like to be able to compete in every tournament.
“We have an opportunity in a tournament where we play, not tomorrow, but Wednesday, against a very strong team. The holders. They have done very well, a very difficult place to play but we will go out there and do everything we can to compete and win and progress.
“I think you can put it in two ways. I think it's to get to win that trophy, that's very difficult, but to sustain it is probably even more difficult, but that's the aim. We have some players here that had a fantastic experience last year, winning the Europa League final.
“And they're very eager to win more trophies and would like to compete and win. So, we are definitely going for it for tomorrow.”
