Copenhagen are still searching for their first victory, whilst Spurs have avoided defeat in the first three games so far. Frank's men were met with a chorus of boos after their 1-0 loss to Chelsea at the weekend, and will hope for a much better showing this Tuesday.
Frank clears up Van de Ven and Spence's behaviour
Frank firstly on the behaviour of Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence after Saturday's game, which saw both players ignore him after the final whistle.
"Micky and Djed came into my office yesterday and just said they wanted to say sorry for the situation. They didn't want it to look bad or any misconception that you can get in this beautiful media world.
"So there was no disrespect meant at all towards me or the team. They were just frustrated with the performance from us and the booing during the game."
Frank continued on Van de Ven: "We all have a perception (of what happens in a moment) and we're so strong in it. We're very good in that, but none of us know. My first question was how they were. Of course I was happy they came in because I knew the questions would come today.
"We had a good chat but we will keep it internally. It would be very, very, very unusual for me to throw a player under the bus, because we're all human."
Team news
Next, the Danish head coach gave some team news in what was a much-needed positive update for the side.
"Lucas (Bergvall) got concussion, which was pretty obvious from the footage. We have to give praise to the medical team because it is a tricky situation to be in.
“So well done to them because the players' health is the most important thing. Djed (Spence) and Mo (Kudus) got a knock - they could and should be available tomorrow."
Frank defends Tottenham's home form
Questions then turned to the club’s dire home form. Tottenham have not won at home in the Premier League since Frank’s first match in charge on the opening day, when Burnley were beaten 3-0, and Frank was quick to defend his side.
"Of course, it is a relatively small sample for me to look into if I am honest. First and foremost, we need to work very hard on keep adding performances, to keep adding layers, to keep improving. We work very hard on the training pitch, in meeting rooms on actions and I see a good improvement in the team in general.
"Of course, we are coming on the back of a bad performance - there is a big flashing light right now. Everyone has a little bit of a struggle to look past that to see some of the very good performances we have had this year as well.
"I also think we are coming in off the back of what was in many ways a fantastic season and also a tough season. If anyone had said that we would now be 17 points after 10 games, unbeaten in the Champions League - everything is not perfect, but there is a decent foundation.
"Everyone would have taken that situation where we are now in terms of 22 defeats last year and finishing 17th."
Frank understands fans booing
Finally, he opened up on the boos from frustrated fans after the Chelsea clash, after seeing their side drop to fifth in the Premier League table.
"The fans were fantastic for the first 30 minutes of the game on Saturday night. I think the noise was incredible and that carried us forward.
"It seems there was a little bit of a turning point when we conceded the goal, when we all got a little bit frustrated, which is natural.
"I think it is more than fair because we are in the performance business. If we can't deal with the pressure or deal with the negativity and the criticism, we shouldn't be sitting here.
"We are in the football world because we love the game. We love to be part of something, and we love to be part of a team.
"It's nice to be in the big occasions - but we play because we love football.
"I think the fans were fantastic the first 30 and after the game, if we perform badly and on top of that to lose a game, then more than fair enough to boos us. But during the game, we need a little bit of help, especially when it is not going the right way. They can be the turning point.
"We were down 1-0. The last 15 minutes, they can carry us over the line. If we could have got it back to 1-1 - what a feeling! That point could be the difference at the end of a long season."
