Guglielmo Vicario: Micky van de Ven has the potential to become the best center-back in the world
Tottenham has been gaining attention for their improved attacking prowess, scoring 22 goals in their first ten Premier League games this season. Naturally, new signing James Maddison has received much praise for his creativity, contributing three goals and five assists so far.
However, Spurs have also shown remarkable defensive improvement, conceding only nine goals this season. This is quite astonishing considering their leaky defense last season.
A significant factor in this defensive improvement is the arrival of Van de Ven, who has seamlessly integrated into the team and formed a formidable partnership with Cristian Romero.

Unleashing the Potential of Micky van de Ven at Spurs
Vicario, who has played a role in Spurs’ improved defense, believes that the 22-year-old center-back has limitless potential.
Speaking to Spurs Play, Vicario said, “Micky is amazing. He’s one of the fastest defenders I’ve ever seen. It’s unbelievable. And he’s a hard-working player. I believe his attitude and mentality are his greatest assets.
“He’s also technically skilled. He possesses all the qualities to become one of the best center-backs in the world.”
