Tottenham lost to Aston Villa 1-2 in this round of the league. After the game, Tottenham defender Van de Ven accepted an interview with the media.

"This is a difficult game, the score is close. We know that Villa is a very difficult team to deal with." Van der Ven said.

Talking about teammate Romero's temporary withdrawal from the game during the warm-up, Van der Ven said: "Actually, we were not sure whether he could play all week. But obviously, it is always bad to suddenly withdraw during the warm-up period. However, I think Danso performed very well after coming off the bench."

"I think We didn't do enough. If we did it well, we wouldn't have lost this game. I don't think we made a lot of mistakes, both of their goals were scored from outside the penalty area, but I think we could have created more scoring opportunities for ourselves."
