<p>For the first time in the new Spurs manager's career, Frank came up against Christian Norgaard - a player he had worked with at Brentford, Brondby, and more - in their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pape-matar-sarr-tottenham-lobs-david-raya-score-centre-circle-arsenal-stunned-pre-season-derby/blt068c63d27d7ce2f2" target="_blank">1-0 pre-season win over Arsenal</a> on Thursday. The ex-Bees captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-submit-bid-brentford-midfielder-christian-norgaard-thomas-partey/blt54c1556562c59596" target="_blank">headed to the Gunners for £9 million</a>, shortly after the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-hire-thomas-frank-spurs-confirm-appointment-danish-boss-after-reaching-agreement-brentford-following-sacking-europa-league-winner-ange-postecoglou/bltd778255272ffaee3" target="_blank">Dane made the switch to Tottenham</a>. Now, Frank has expressed his delight about the 31-year-old joining the Premier League giants.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told reporters: "It’s a little bit emotional [coming up against Norgaard]. I’ve known him since he was 15. He’s 31 now and I’ve coached him for 12 of those years, so I can say that I know him pretty well. This is the first time I’ve played against him. It was a bit strange to see him in another team. He’s a top player – I understand why Arsenal went for him. I'm so happy he got this opportunity late in his career."</p>

WHAT FRANK SAID

<p>Both Frank and Norgaard have secured moves to two giants of English football after making a name for themselves at Brentford. While Tottenham have the bragging rights after this pre-season win in Hong Kong, there is no guarantee that will continue for the upcoming Premier League season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Norgaard, who started in Arsenal's defeat to Spurs, will hope to get more game time for his new team ahead of their final pre-season friendlies against Villarreal on Wednesday and Athletic Club three days later.</p>
