Van de Ven’s stats vs Canada will blow you away
Van de Ven’s performance last time would’ve surely boosted his chances of starting for the Netherlands at the Euros in Germany.
The Dutchman played the full 90 minutes at left-back against Canada on Thursday night and he was brilliant.
He had 77 touches of the ball and completed 45 of his 52 attempted passes, maintaining a very healthy 87 per cent passing accuracy. Van de Ven also created one chance.
Defensively, the Tottenham man won five of his six attempted duels, made three tackles, two clearances and an interception against the Candians. (
