Is it faster than a kangaroo? Van der Pen received a ridiculous question. "No, is it slow?" It makes me laugh
Mickey van der Penn gave an interesting interview.
Optus Sports of the U.K. released an interview with Van der Pen on its official SNS on Thursday (Korea time). Van der Pen in the video received some questions.
It was a quiz show about fast feet. Van der Pen has a top-notch team in the Premier League. Despite his tall height of 193 centimeters, he is fast. His top speed this season was 37.38 kilometers per hour. This record is against Brentford in the 22nd round of the Premier League in the 2023-24 season, by far the fastest by a Premier League defender.
The interviewer first asked Van der Pen if he was faster than a kangaroo. "No, I'm going to take my time," Van der Pen said. That was correct. The interviewer mentioned that the kangaroo was speeding up to 70 km/h and the answer was correct.
Next was the flight lights. Vanderpen replied that he was faster, and the host laughed and said that the speed behind him was 90 km/h. Confused by the absurd answer, Vanderpen laughed loudly and said, "It wasn't even close."
The same question continued afterwards. The question was: Is it faster than snakes, hippos, elephants, polar bears, and more? Vanderpen answered enthusiastically, but could only answer three of the nine questions correctly.
Van der Pen is Tottenham Hotspur's best contract player this season. Despite being a defender, he is fast-footed. He fits perfectly with manager Enze Postecoglou's strategy of building up the line at a fast pace. He started the season as a starter early on, perfectly covering the back of Tottenham's defense. He has high build-up capabilities and also worked well with Christian Romero. Despite frequent injuries, he can improve the situation through careful management in the future.
Recently, he also played as a left full-back. Van der Pen, who moved to the left full-back in the second half of the Burnley match, scored the winning goal with active penetration. In the recent match against Manchester City, he appeared as a left full-back to prevent Manchester City's wave attack.
Meanwhile, Tottenham lost to Manchester City and was unable to reach the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Now the remaining game is to finish the season well by winning against Sheffield United.
