Micky van de Ven throws support behind Ange Postecoglou despite rumours of Friday sacking
Micky van de Ven has insisted that the Tottenham players are fully behind Ange Postecoglou as the pressure mounts ahead of their crunch tie against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The lights are definitely going to be bright and the atmosphere very loud and deafening when Tottenham line up to face Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening.
The players know exactly what is expected of them, especially after they drew 1-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the first leg, with Pedro Porro’s goal cancelling out Hugo Ekitike’s early opener.
For the Tottenham boss, it couldn’t be much clearer – plenty of media noise suggests that failure to win on Thursday could spell the end for Postecoglou, even before the week is out.
Micky van de Ven says Tottenham players back Ange Postecoglou
The Tottenham players are very aware of the weight of this clash. Spurs’ pacy defender Micky van de Ven has now opened up on the feeling within the Tottenham camp.
The defender has reiterated that the players have complete trust in Postecoglou and stated that they would do everything they can to win for the gaffer.
Micky van de Ven told football.london: “We all still have trust in the gaffer and believe in the way he wants to play. We want to win this game for him but we also want to win for us.”
Spurs eye semi-final Bodo/Glimt showdown
A victory on Thursday night would see Tottenham edge closer to the final, which is set to take place in Bilbao.
A clash against either Bodo/Glimt or Lazio awaits, and with Bodo/Glimt pulling off one of the shocks of the competition last week by beating Lazio in their first-leg home tie, Spurs could well face the Norwegian side.
For those in the UK looking to watch the clash between Frankfurt and Tottenham live, they can catch it on TNT Sports 3 at 8pm UK time.
