Van de Fenn’s success was not accidental, since, despite his height (1.93), h speed is one of its main characteristics. One of the reasons Angelos Postecoglou chose him was his acceleration, which was confirmed by his presence at the top of the corresponding list of the German championship. Competing in Wolfsburgrecorded the top performance of a central defender in the Bundesliga, after running at 35.97 kilometers per hour.

The Dutchman is one of Tottenham’s most important footballers, since his constant presence in defense helped the “roosters” in their initial unbeaten run, while his injury affected, to an absolute extent, the course of the team. His ability to get ahead of his opponents makes him essential to the Greek-Australian coach’s game, where he tends to keep his defensive line very close to the midfield.
