Goalkeeper Van der Vaart's Spectacular Save Surprises Critics: 'Keeper's Blockbuster!'

Micky van de Ven hits out at ‘nonsense’ claims Micky van de Ven says claims the Tottenham players “don’t care” about the situation the club is in are “nonsense”. Tottenham’s draw with Liverpool on Sunday still only leaves them a point above the Premier League relegation zone with eight games to play, while they trail 5-2 to Atletico Madrid in their Champions League round of 16 tie. But the Spurs defender has hit out at some recent reports ahead of his side’s Champions League round of 16 second-leg clash.

“Of course I’ve seen things. It’s not something I look at a lot, to be honest, but reporters say stuff and it’s like how do you even come up with this? That players are switched off or don’t care about the situation right now,” van de Ven said.

“All I can say is it’s not true. It would be strange if a player was in the dressing room now and saying I’m going to leave or I’m not going to focus on the situation because everything that is going to happen doesn’t affect me. “It’s just nonsense.

People start believing it and it’s the biggest nonsense. Everyone is focused on what’s ahead and in front of us. Stay up to date with all the latest Spurs news by joining our Tottenham WhatsApp channel .
