Brentford, nicknamed "The Bees," will host another Brentford in their opening Premier League match of the new season. Manager Keith Andrews stated in a press conference that the team has started well and hopes to achieve something special this season.
Last season, Brentford finished 9th with a record of 14 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses, just one step away from qualifying for Europe.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, who almost got relegated last season, De Zerbi's team signed Robertson, Tonali, Van Heck and Senesi during the summer transfer window, striving to return to their former position.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews said, "We knew where we were last season and we knew where we wanted to strengthen our squad. We brought in four players from other clubs, and now the squad depth is better than it was 12 months ago."
“Speaking of Tottenham Hotspur, De Zerbi is an excellent and very experienced manager. This is a completely different team now, they have signed a lot of new players, and we are very familiar with them because these players have performed well at their respective clubs.”
Keith Andrews pointed out, "One of our advantages is that we can make our style of play unpredictable for our opponents. We have a group of players who can complement each other, and we have been working hard to strengthen this style of play during the preseason. We feel that we are on the right track and that this style of play can cause trouble for any opponent."
"I think the goal for this season is to get better. There are still nine months left in the season, so I certainly won't announce any goals now. But what I want to say is that compared to when we were in this situation, we don't need to solve the consistency problem as we did at this time last year. We start from a much better point, the players are in good form and full of ambition, hoping to achieve something special this season."
In addition, when asked about the possibility of pairing new signing Callum Wilson with Igor Thiago, Keith Andrews said, "Of course, there is a possibility that they will play together. Callum Wilson is a very good player. We really hope to bring him here and also hope to have an open discussion with him about his role, especially in the context of Igor Thiago, what responsibilities he will have."
“Callum has shown everything he promised. He is a very serious player and a player who can score goals.”
Keith Andrews said: "The wealth of experience in the dressing room, and the group of players who have played a lot of games in the Premier League, I think is invaluable. His relationship with Igor Thiago and Kai Froh is impressive. I really enjoy their interactions, whether in training or meetings, or watching them integrate into the team."
