As Tottenham heads into a crucial final against Manchester United, the team's recent successes provide significant confidence. Spurs have triumphed over United three times this season, including a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford and a 1-0 win at home, contributing to an unbeaten streak of five matches against them. Former player King emphasizes the psychological advantage of knowing they can beat a strong opponent. The return of defender Micky van de Ven, whose pace and ball-handling are lauded, is also seen as pivotal for Tottenham's defensive strategy and overall team confidence during this important match.
When you know you can beat an opponent, it is a big advantage. I remember the first time we beat Arsenal and Chelsea it removes the fear factor.
Having him back in the side brings confidence to other players and, hopefully, he is at that stage now after his injuries where he can trust his body to play at full throttle again.
His pace is astonishing and is a huge advantage but his ability on the ball is so impressive as well. In him and Cristian Romero, we have two defenders comfortable on the ball.
Belief has definitely risen in the north Londoners' camp as they've progressed through the Europa League, culminating in the massive occasion of Wednesday's final that will be huge in both the context of this season and the club's future.
