MICKY VAN DE VEN BELIEVES ONLY ONE THING IS STOPPING HIM FROM BEING BETTER THAN VIRGIL VAN DIJK AS THE WORLD’S BEST DEFENDER

Micky van de ven believes he is edging ever closer to becoming the best centre-back in world football.
Micky van de ven, 23, has enjoyed a euphoric rise with Tottenham over the past seasons, impressing heavily for the spur.
Ange postecoglou side were narrowly tipped by eventual Premier League top four last season, missing out by just two points.
Micky van de ven has since formed an almighty partnership with Romero at the heart of Tottenham defence.
There are very few central defenders in world football who could rightfully claim to be in better form than micky van de ven and have a greater standing in the game than the Dutch man but one notable exception is Liverpool stalwart virgil .
“I have been on the right track for both seasons, mainly last season,”micky van de ven recently told Fox Sports.
“I’m perhaps on my way to becoming the best defender in the world.
“I think I’m one of the best at the moment, but to say that I have to win some titles.
“I think that’s what I’m missing right now,” micky van de ven explained.
“If you win titles, you’re good and if you don’t, you can’t say you’re the best.
“That’s what I believe. I’m one of the best in the world.”
Since returning to the spur in the summer of 2023, the defender has cemented his place in ange preferred starting lineup.
“As I said, we have to compete against City but we also have to do it against the other teams because it’s not just against City.
“If you win against them but not against others it doesn’t mean anything. So, of course we want to win again next weekend and we will give everything to win but it’s not the end on Sunday.”
