So Lazy: BBC pundit Slam £100k/week Tottenham player for disgusting
Glenn Murray chastised Micky van de Ven during today’s Premier League match between Tottenham and Brighton.
The 40-year-old made the remarks while appearing on Final Score for BBC Sport.
What did Glenn Murray say about Micky van de Ven? Let us have a look.
What Murray said about Van de Ven.
Well, the Maryport resident took aim at the Netherlands international when he fouled Danny Welbeck and handed away a penalty earlier today.
Pascal Gross took responsibility from 12 yards and scored to give Brighton a 1-0 lead.
Murray commented on the Dutchman’s reckless challenge, saying: “Micky van de Ven swings out a lazy leg and catches Danny Welbeck.” There is a certain punishment.”
It was undoubtedly an awkward moment from the £100,000-a-week guy.
Van de Ven will not want to face that obstacle again, to say the least.
Van de Ven will only improve at Tottenham.
The 22-year-old may have lost Spurs a goal tonight, but blunders like these can only help the Tottenham No.37 become a better player.
Ange Postecoglou believes Van de Ven, who was just named the fastest Premier League player of all time, has many more gears to develop.
In his news conference on Friday, the Australian stated: “He’s up against top strikers every week, and his ability to use that speed in such an effective way in terms of defensive work, I think, has been outstanding for such a young man in his first year.”
“Don’t forget before he came to us he’d only had one year in the Bundesliga, so there is so much more to come from him but I have been really pleased with just the way he has gone up to this level and used what he has as his strengths.”
Hopefully, Van de Ven does not let his head droop after today’s gaffe against Brighton, and instead uses it as incentive to improve.
