Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has dismissed rumours suggesting the squad has given up on this season. He recently had his say amid Spurs’ grim Premier League relegation battle, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, everyone at the club is still fully committed to turning their dire EPL situation around, and the players are far from switched off as the press has suggested.
Issuing a heartfelt plea to supporters, Van de Ven assured Tottenham fans that survival remains the sole focus.
His words, “Of course I’ve seen things. Reporters just say things sometimes and it’s like: ‘How did you come up with this?’ Like players have switched off. It’s not true. They say players are going to leave either way. It’s just nonsense and people start believing it.
Sometimes we just read things about ourselves and other players. We are just like: ‘What is this?’ We read something about one guy who said they were going to leave and doesn’t care about the situation they are in, and then someone reads this and it’s like: ‘How does this come out?'”
People just make things up and it’s frustrating for us because it brings so much more trouble. The fans then start to believe this or start saying: ‘Oh the guys do not care anymore. What’s going to happen with the club?’ But, trust me, all of the people involved on the pitch, all of the staff, the players, everyone, they care so much about the situation we are in and we just want to turn things around. That’s the main focus for everyone. If some reports are saying the guys don’t care anymore, it’s just frustrating for our guys.”
WOW.
