Inconceivable Van de Ven: The performances of the fastest central defender!

Even the best sprinters would be impressed by his effort Mickey Van de Ven in Tottenham’s first goal against Manchester United!

The Dutchman took the ball from Rashford just enough below the halfway line and with incredible speed for a central defender he entered the opposition area and passed to Johnson who in an empty net needed only one touch to anoint a scorer. He obviously pointed to his teammate in celebration, since without that effort he wouldn’t have seen his name on the scorers’ table.

The statistical office recorded the distance van der Ven traveled and the data is surprising to everyone. 56 meters and 10 centimeters the 23-year-old ran with the ball, having picked up speed 36 kilometers on time! He seemed unstoppable and none of the four players of the “babies” managed to stop him. Of course, they should have been more read, since he had made a similar run in the game against Everton where he had given a ready goal to Sean for the “roosters’ 4-0”.

“Scored by Son, but made by Micky van de Ven!” ?????

If we go even further into the past, we will remember the “mythical” sprint she had done while wearing her jersey Wolfsburg. It was January 31, 2023, when the “wolves” faced Union in Berlin for the German Cup. With the score at 2-1 in favor of the home team and just seconds remaining, Wolfsburg goalkeeper Pavao Pervan stepped up to take a corner kick for the equalizing goal. But the Union players stole the ball and Roussillon was about to score into an empty net. Van de Ven, however, did not give up the phase and stopped the ball on the line, while he had run the whole field!
