Jan Paul van Hecke on Tottenham Hotspur in Last Place: 'We Had Expected Something Different'
Dutch international Jan Paul van Hecke expressed frustration after Tottenham Hotspur fell to the bottom of the Premier League table following a 2-3 defeat to Aston Villa. Despite significant investments, including his own €60 million transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion, the club remains winless in five rounds with only two points. Van Hecke criticized the team's collective collapse and defensive errors, particularly noting the lack of support during physical duels. The defender also highlighted a long scoring drought, with the goals against Villa being their first in the Premier League in 188 days. Looking ahead, Van Hecke welcomed the upcoming international break, citing positive communications with Oranje coach Xavi Hernández and anticipating a fresh start before facing Manchester United on October 10.
