‘It’s very important to us! Brentford boss finally reveals why he’s happy with 2-0 defeat to Chelsea
Brentford were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the competition following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday night.
However, Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes his side will benefit from their Carabao Cup loss to Chelsea.
Thomas Frank said: “I think the game was very important for us to get up to speed.”
“After six says where we couldn’t train – yes they were running but it’s not the same – you saw the impact of that when training (resumed).
“There were quite a few of the players that didn’t feel that fresh and were struggling in certain spells.
“They got through it because it was only six days but now the system just got that boost and they will be ready to go on Boxing Day.”
