Who is the BEST centre-back in the world? 👀 | Fan Q&A | Micky van de Ven

[@jonahshipley1524]

Spurs struck gold with this guy. Brilliant defender.

[@Rebelass74]

@AaAa-uq4hxI would say he has higher ceiling than Jan. This kid has the potential to be the best in the world. He is truly special, especially his pace which I’ve never seen before in central defender.👍🏽

[@nix8260]

​@AaAa-uq4hxso true 🔥🔥❤

[@Creativemnds]

His pace doesn't make sense for his size. Beyond rapid

[@zuphie9680]

He's left footed as well 😂

Ok smithy, now let's have you chat with a BETTER centre back in Harry Maguire. Thanks...

[@eldante4139]

He comes across as so down to Earth, level headed, and doesn’t get carried away with any of it. Very happy that he’s playing for us. Must have been good for you to meet one of our own. COYS

[@birdseye_studios]

I love when young players speak with so much honesty and maturity.

[@yeonlee5]

VDV recruitment by Spurs is honestly a steal. 40 million of a defender who plays as a top 3 defender in the league. Unbelievable. His pace, defending, decision making, passing, and personality is just perfect. His pace especially is a cheat code

[@TheTangyapple]

Honestly, his pace (and general quality) completely unlocked our ability to play a high line

[@tapiwamujere2233]

He is one in a million

[@David-_-_-]

His recovery when they play the high line and someone gets in behind is absurd. He's a great cover defender similar to what Kyle Walker can do

[@tommeredith5920]

Great player not top 3 in prem at all though, decent bargain.

What an awesome player, feel lucky to have him on my team.

[@TheIkaraCult]

Watched him live first day of the season at Brentford, he eats up the ground like a demon, immensely imposing in stature. Very impressive. Would love to see him have a go at the 400 metres rather than the 100, I reckon he would clock a seriously impressive time over that distance.

[@Michael-tk9mx]

City players are just so good, I think stones is the best city center back. Defensively Dias is better but all round stones is crazy good

[@Rowan_0161]

I think I would give it to Dias as a defender he is better, Stones is that Rolls-Royce Defender that clubs want but dias is the wall teams needs anticipation, football IQ and leadership Stones is 2nd for me

[@samprice2641]

Stones reminds me of Rio Ferdinand

[@TRiXz_2K]

Your statement doesn’t really make sense. If Dias is better defensively then by definition he’s the better CB. The CB primary role is to defend. If you’re saying John Stones is a better player that’s different but CB it’s clearly Dias

[@eyesopen66]

Thanks Michael, obviously I agree with you about City players, I'm a Man City fan from Manchester. Dias is the best defender, and he marshalls the defence. Stones is also WC and he can move forward with the ball like a midfield player.

[@ohdannyboy43]

Agreed

[@snookerstones]

I actually really like him, hard to dislike this spurs team.

[@Shadystev]

The Dutch could put out an eleven of top quality centre-backs at the moment.

[@tiesjaja2938]

It will be interesting to see who koeman will pick for his euro squad. He’s always had injuries there since stepping in, with botman timber van de ven ake de ligt etc. But imagining all those names will be fit for euro..damn that’s a tough choice. Netherlands play 5 at the back, i dont think koeman will take more than 6-7 cbs at max. Choices are van de ven and ake for the left, botman van dijk and de vrij for the middle, and de ligt timber Geertruida and maybe even van Hecke at brighton or schuurs at torino. I see 1 or 2 really good cbs missing out.

[@SMGTTY]

Even as an Arsenal fan, This guy so far has been a MONSTER for spurs. Best 3 CBs in the league : Diaz, Saliba, VDVen!!!

Does Saliba start for the French national team?

[@SMGTTY]

@@Dionysus66 Konate = Liverpool CL/League Winners Varane = Madrid CL/League winners Deschamp has his favorites as does Southgate and other international coaches. Does not change the fact that he is the best French Defender. There was a time Upamechano was the next best thing as well but look how that turned out. The hype around Saliba is warranted. Varane has improved Man.U but not as much as Saliba did for Arsenal. Facts are facts. And stats dont mean everything.
