Van der Ven: Our pace is too slow and we lack deep movement on the field

6686 Sports News on November 15th: The Dutch team drew 1-1 with Poland in the away team field of the World Cup European Qualifying Tournament. In an interview with NOS after the game, Van der Ven said that the team's pace of competition was too slow and there was no opportunity for innovation.

Van der Ven said: "I think our game rhythm is too slow. We lack vertical forward movement and create no scoring opportunities."

Van der Ven had a high-speed breakthrough with the ball in this game. The scene, which was reminiscent of his one-stop goal against Copenhagen in the Champions League, he said: "It would be wonderful if I scored like this again in this game. I must say that there was a sliding tackle from a Polish player and I was thinking: I can keep moving forward with the ball, but it's difficult to keep the same rhythm. It will be very difficult to score more exciting goals than in the previous Champions League games."

"The goal against Copenhagen has been widely circulated, and it caused a lot of discussion. All kinds of people were sending me messages, and that goal was beautiful."

Van der Ven plays as a central defender at Tottenham, but not in the national team. "As far as I know, I am regarded as a left-back in the national team."
