In Premier League matchday 5, Brentford defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home, marking their first home victory against Chelsea in the top flight since 1938. Following the match, Brentford manager Thomas Frank was interviewed by beIN Sports, discussing the team's performance, tactical execution, and overall form.

Thomas, when you saw your set-piece strategy paying off, your face lit up with joy. Then Kevin Schade made a brilliant breakthrough and quickly made a decision, passing to Yoane Wissa, which was also a fantastic attack. Finally, Fabio Carvalho scored again, which also looked very significant. This was a special night and a highlight, and it's the first time Brentford has beaten Chelsea at home in the top flight since 1938.

Yes, this is a special night. It's the first time we've beaten them at home since 1938. So yes, it feels great. You have to enjoy nights like this. But results like this also need to be fought for. You have to stand up to some great players, limit their game, and then play your own style in the match. I thought we did that very well, especially in the second half.

Chelsea set up with three defenders, which certainly created a lot of difficulties for your attackers and effectively limited Wissa. So how satisfied are you seeing the team stay patient throughout the match? What did you say to the players at halftime?

The most important message was really "believe". Believe in how good you are, believe in what we can achieve, and believe in how great and honest our team is.

At the same time, in some key areas, we needed to be more careful in our approach. I think from an attacking perspective, we got more into the game in the second half than in the first. But you also have to consider their game plan.

They took a very pragmatic approach, trying to compress space. They have great respect for our abilities and know what we can do. But it's very difficult to limit us for a full 90 minutes.

We know that you currently rank among the league leaders in shots in the box, set-piece shots, and chances created from set plays. So against a strong Chelsea side in this area, are you particularly pleased with the goals scored through counterattacks?

I think it shows that we can score goals in different ways, and everyone saw that tonight. We can score from set pieces, and we can score from counterattacks. As the match progressed, we created more threats, and different players were able to score.

I thought the impact of our substitutes tonight was excellent. They brought energy back to the team and brought quality into the game. Every effort we made on the pitch was very committed. So yes, this was a beautiful night.

I know you wanted the team to go into this international break with points, and of course, you'd prefer to go into the break with a win. The team has started the season very well, remained unbeaten, and now has two victories. How important is it for you to go into the break with these results?

Of course it's very pleasing to remain unbeaten in this opening phase of the season. Especially in this league, you face very good opponents every week. And over recent weeks, we've shown different qualities. It's wonderful to see this team continue to develop and improve. Now we can influence the game from various aspects, the team's overall chemistry continues to improve, and there's a growing understanding between the new players and the whole team.

I think the strength and depth of squad we have now puts the team in a good position. I hope all players return to the team in good condition after completing their international duties.
