Records two shots

Van de Ven recorded two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss versus Morocco.

Analysis: Van de Ven would be given a role on the left flank of the midfield Monday, as the Dutch would go with a 3-4-3 as they tried to deal with the speed and creativity of Achraf Hakimi on that side of the pitch. This would lead him to a tackle, two interceptions and two shots, although he only completed seven passes, a far drop from the 82 combined he saw in his first two appearances. He ends the tournament, starting in three of their four games while notching two interceptions, three tackles and seven clearances.

Strong defensive display

van de Ven had one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Sweden.

Analysis: van de Ven delivered a composed and energetic display in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, winning one of his two tackles, making one clearance and creating one chance as the left back in coach Ronald Koeman's back four, also completing 41 passes and contributing to the attacking transitions that stretched Sweden's defensive shape throughout. The Tottenham Hotspur defender was tested by Sweden's counter-attacks, particularly when Alexander Isak was released in behind, but recovered his position effectively on multiple occasions and showed the ball-carrying ability from deep that gives the Netherlands a unique offensive dimension from defensive positions. Now heading into the knockout stage unbeaten across two group games, van de Ven will be one of the first names on Koeman's teamsheet, with his combination of pace, reading of the game and progressive carrying making him one of the most dynamic left back remaining in the tournament.
