Thomas Frank acknowledged his "special operation" failed but felt pride in his players after Tottenham surrendered a two-goal lead to lose the Super Cup on penalties to Paris St Germain.Set-piece goals by Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero had Spurs halfway towards another trophy - only three months on from Frank's predecessor Ange Postecoglou clinching Europa League success in May.Champions League winners PSG, who only returned to pre-season last week following their Club World Cup exploits in July, fought back impressively - with substitute Kang-in Lee pulling one back with five minutes left before Goncalo Ramos grabbed an equaliser in the fourth-minute of stoppage-time.It was initially advantage Tottenham in the shoot-out when Vitinha missed PSG's first kick and Rodrigo Bentancur put the Premier League club two up, but it was followed by Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failing to score as Frank's competitive debut ended in a 4-3 shoot-out defeat after a 2-2 draw.
