Despite his positive impression, Frank acknowledged that Simons still has a lot to learn about the Premier League and its demands.

Frank praised Simons' initiative on the ball, noting that he consistently tried to create scoring opportunities. He also commended Simons' assist on the first goal from a corner kick, describing it as "wonderful."

Frank also reflected on the performance of Joao Palhinha, another new signing, who he believes needs time to adjust to the team's system.

Palhinha's experience in the Premier League may have been beneficial, but Frank pointed out that he had a disjointed pre-season due to his participation in the Club World Cup.

Frank is optimistic about Palhinha's potential, highlighting his ability to provide structure and solidity to the team.
