I sent him a text because I didn’t want to injure him. I didn’t want to do something to hurt him, of course. I just wanted to try to block the shot.“And I think it was a bit unlucky how his foot landed between my legs. So yeah, I sent him a text afterwards, and I wanted to wish him all the best for his recovery. That’s what I said to him. He really appreciated the message. He texted back.”Thomas Frank leaps to the defence of Van de VenNot everyone agrees that the injury was accidental, with some in the media blasting the Spurs defender for his challenge.That includes former Chelsea defender Frank Lebouf, who called for Van de Ven to be retrospectively punished for his challenge on Isak.However, Slot’s and Lebouf’s comments have been rubbished by the Tottenham head coach, with Thomas Frank hitting back at Van de Ven’s critics.The Dane insisted that Isak was unlucky to plant his foot where he did, suggesting that any defender would try to block the shot in that instance.READ MORE: Tottenham star charged by the FA for ‘aggressive’ incident against LiverpoolThe post Micky van de Ven reveals what he said to Liverpool’s Alexander Isak after injury blow appeared first on Spurs Web.
