Journalist George Sessions noticed that Tottenham Hotspur did something unusual in training on Monday to prepare themselves for their upcoming Champions League tie against Bodo/Glimt.
Tottenham will be hoping to make it two wins from two in the Champions League when they head to Norway to take on Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday.
The Lilywhites have pleasant memories of the Aspmyra Stadion, winning 2-0 at the ground back in May on their way to Europa League glory.
With Tottenham facing a tricky end to the league phase of the Champions League, Frank will be desperate for his side to get three points in Norway, and it turns out that he is leaving no stone unturned to prepare his players for the conditions they will face north of the Arctic Circle.
What Guglielmo Vicario and Antonin Kinsky did during Tottenham training on Monday
Bodo/Glimt have an outstanding home record in European competitions of late, and that is partly down to the fact that they play on an artificial pitch.
Opposition sides have usually found it difficult to cope with the conditions at the Aspmyra Stadion, but the conditions will not come as a shock to the Spurs players, who played there less than five months ago.
However, it appears Frank is taking no chances as journalist George Sessions reveals that Tottenham’s goalkeepers trained on an artificial pitch at Hotspur Way on Monday in the lead up to the tie.
Another interesting aspect before Bodo (A) was Guglielmo Vicario & Antonin Kinsky training on Spurs’ artificial surface at Hotspur Way for 10 minutes before they had a longer session on the grass.

Supercomputer predicts Tottenham’s chances of beating Bodo/Glimt
According to Opta’s Supercomputer, Tottenham have a 43.6 per cent chance of beating Bodo/Glimt, while the home side have been given a 32.3 per cent chance of getting all three points.
Opta’s algorithm predicts that Spurs will finish in ninth place in the league phase, which would mean that they just miss out on direct qualification to the round of 16 and would have to play an additional knockout round.
However, should Tottenham have six points on the board from their first two matches, Frank will believe that his side has a great chance of finishing in the top eight, with Monaco and Copenhagen their next two opponents.
