Brentford boss Frank: Chelsea defender Christensen perfect for modern game

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has sung the praises of Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.

Christensen has been key in Denmark's successful World Cup qualification achieved last night.

Frank said, "AC is one of the best defenders in the world at the moment. He has always been enormously intelligent on the pitch, ie enormously quick to perceive in relation to all situations offensively and defensively.

"He is enormously technically strong for a defender in terms of taking the ball forward, passes and good choices. He is also foresighted and fast at the same time, so it is almost the complete package.

"There's more coming from Andreas, I must say. The way the football game goes, he is a perfect match. So it's going to go faster and faster, so you need to be able to perceive and play faster and faster."
