Tottenham legend Ledley King spoke highly of the performance of last season's new aid Mickey van der Ven in an interview with the team's official website.
"To be honest, he shocked me!" Ledley King said, "A young, left-footed, fast center back like him is very rare."
"He was at Wolfsburg I didn't know much about him at the time, so it's really impressive that he came to Tottenham and played so well. Everyone talks about him, he's great both offensively and defensively! Everything about him."
"First of all, he is very comfortable on the ball no matter where he appears. His sprinting, counterattacking and forward dribbling speed are very important, especially when he plays. When the team wants to play an offensive football, his speed makes everyone in the defense feel very safe. "
" We see that because of the deep protection of Van der Ven, another central defender Rome. Luo can often actively participate in the attack. This is what he likes to do and his style of play. Therefore, a player like Van der Ven will bring security to the defense. "
" I don't want to see anyone in the short term. Outrun him! I don't think anyone can beat him at the moment. He can even run in the 100m finals and not be last! It's actually fun to watch offensive players try to outrun him. It will always speed up!”
