Regarding the superb assist he provided in Tottenham’s 3-0 victory against Manchester United last month, Micky van de Ven has spoken his opinions.
The assist of the season
The season will probably not witness an assist finer than the one Van de Ven provided at Old Trafford; the Dutchman’s surge has the Manchester United players taken aback.
Deep in Tottenham’s own half, the defender regained the ball and went all out. He went past five or six United players and produced an inch-perfect low cross that Brennan Johnson was able to tap in.
The third-minute goal changed the course of the match, allowing Spurs to take control of the contest and win 3-0.
Van de Ven denies claim
Following that victory, James Maddison posted a video of Van van Ven staring intently at his phone. The midfielder accused the centre-back of repeatedly watching his assist.
Even though it’s one of his best plays of the season thus far, the Netherlands international has consistently denied viewing the run and cross.
He said to Voetbal Nieuws, when questioned about the incident, “I saw space in a flash.” You then consider leaving. Indeed, that particular goal was the high point. But I don’t constantly revisit those pictures.
Reputation precedes him
Rivals will be careful not to come too close to Van van Ven now that he has set up two goals this season with his rampaging runs from the back.
As a result, they will keep the former Wolfsburg player at a distance, giving him more room and time with the ball.
