He's been nice because he's just gotten here and hasn't wanted to rock the boat too much, but I think this is coming.
People aren't even watching the whole video and took that bit out of context to fit into one's own narrative. Look at VdV's endearing eyes when he spoke about Ange.
Then compared to this:
well it looks like hes defo getting the jan window, so he needs to make that count, summer isnt promised to him unless he can turn results and performances around.
Exposure for a potential move to a club that isn't a shit show.
Just talk to his agent and say get me out of here in that case?
He needs public hype because he is going to cost someone 70M. A lot easier for a club to put down that money on someone that has hype and gets buy in from supporters. I'm just theorizing; I don't know the exact reason he did the interview.
He is worth over 100m easy... 70m.. would be a robbery.
Good luck getting 100m on a center back. If we miss Europe, we aren't going to have too much leverage without upsetting the player.
.
So you want Ange back then? You think Frank can't do that? I mean its his first season and we only reached half way so how the hell would you know? I mean it took Ange 2 years and near relegation to win a Europa..Of course luck played into it. Unless you're the Oil Slavers any trophy requires a modicum of luck.
It's Buy-In. It's belief. Despite everything. That's what we've lacked for decades - what we've been crying out for. Poch got us close but at the final moment luck (in the form of a ref and a handball decision) was not there for us. And that team was light years ahead of what we have now.
And people keep talking about the low quality of the EL. Sure. But WE ARE LOW QUALITY. I mean... isn't that fucking glaringly obvious to everyone except the Derangers who promised everyone "any half-decent manager would fix everything".
Belief and Buy-In is everything in team sports. |How anyone can look at this video of VDV and not realise that simply has no understanding of sport psychology whatsoever...
The fact that we were (are) a shit team, coached by a deeply flawed manager makes that EL Trophy even more incredibly sweet. That joy you see in VDV's eyes and tone when he talks about it - that's what it's all about.
Why on earth some fans choose to diminish that is so utterly insane. Especially, of all fan bases, Spurs fans. Literally deranged
I wish I could bottle that look in VDV's eyes and inject it into every player before a match.
He will be the first. No centreback has the talent he does right now. He is the fastest CB I have ever seen, also tall and very physical and has a knack for goals too. Seems captain material and is only 24. I mean Gvardiol went for 90m...VDV is well worth 100m if big clubs are fighting to get him.
Maybe. And he is certainly the flashiest CB out there because of the pace.
