Brentford boss Thomas Frank leapt to the defense of England coach Gareth Southgate’s decision-making.
The Three Lions manager being criticized after he revealed his World Cup squad for the winter tournament in Qatar.
Frank reacted after the absence of Brentford star Ivan Toney from the England squad, despite having netted eight goals in 13 Premier League games so far this season.
“I said (to Toney) these coaches, they don’t always take the best decisions, including myself,” Frank told a press conference.
“No, with a smile on my face, if we look from, all people in the world are biased. So I am biased my way, Gareth is biased his way. So I look from this side of the elephant, he looks from the other side of the elephant.
“I think Gareth has done an unbelievable job of being the head coach for England, semi-final in a World Cup and so close (at Euro 2021). A penalty shoot-out is like the flip of a coin. Maybe not for England, but for every other nation in the world it’s a flip of a coin to win it.
“So I think he’s done fantastic (and) I think we should just trust the process.
“You can’t find a better striker in form in the country after Harry Kane. It’s impossible.”
