Micky van de Ven: The Recovery Wall
Spurs’ safety net, built to erase counter-attacks and keep the back line brave.
Van de Ven’s pace changes the rules for Spurs. Opponents can break, but he can chase, and that one quality stops so many counters from becoming clear chances. It’s not just sprinting either, it’s timing, knowing when to step in and when to delay, knowing when to trust his recovery and hold shape.
He also defends with composure. He doesn’t dive in for the sake of it, he stays balanced and wins the duel cleanly. Spurs want to play bold, and van de Ven gives them permission to do that, because he can defend the space other teams fear leaving open.
