"The video, captured by Spurs content creator Chris Cowlin, shows a frantic Tudor on the touchline repeatedly gesturing for Van de Ven to push the defensive line higher to squeeze the space between midfield and attack. Despite the manager's increasingly animated shouts, the defender pointedly refused to comply, maintaining his deep position. The footage has sparked outrage among the Spurs faithful, many criticising the centre-back for his actions."
"Alarmingly, this is not the first time Van de Ven has ignored his manager. Earlier this season after the defeat against Chelsea, Micky van de Ven was caught on camera walking past former manager Thomas Frank, completely ignoring the Dane as he tried to speak to him. The repetition of this behavior suggests that the 22-year-old's frustrations with Tottenham's struggling form are manifesting as a lack of respect for the managerial hot seat."
Frantic touchline footage shows manager Igor Tudor repeatedly gesturing for Micky van de Ven to push Tottenham's defensive line higher, while the centre-back maintains a deep position and refuses to comply. The clip, captured by a Spurs content creator, generated outrage among supporters and critical social media reaction. Earlier this season Van de Ven was filmed walking past former manager Thomas Frank without engaging, indicating a repeated pattern. Spurs sit 16th with a toxic atmosphere and relegation fears, and Van de Ven's conduct has intensified speculation about a potential summer exit amid reported interest from several top clubs.
