Micky van de Ven has strongly denied reports suggesting Tottenham players have lost interest in their Premier League survival battle. The Dutch defender dismissed claims as 'nonsense' following speculation that some squad members had 'checked out' during the club's relegation fight. Van de Ven emphasized that all players, staff, and everyone involved deeply care about turning around Tottenham's precarious situation.

Spurs have endured a disastrous run, including a club-record sixth consecutive loss in a 5-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. The London club responded with a 1-1 draw at Liverpool, showing renewed spirit under pressure. Van de Ven, who received a red card in a recent match against Crystal Palace, revealed he apologized to teammates for his sending-off and watched Sunday's game from home with frustration.

The 23-year-old defender stressed his commitment to giving 100% for Tottenham, despite recent criticism of his performances. He highlighted the team's character shown at Anfield and expressed determination to help the club climb the table. With crucial matches ahead against Atlético and Nottingham Forest, Van de Ven's passionate defense of team morale comes at a critical juncture for Tottenham's season.
