Van de Ven and his teammates are eager to prove the doubters wrong. Many people have made jokes about Tottenham not winning any trophies, but the team is determined to change this narrative.

The team has had a tough season, and winning the Europa League would be a great way to end it on a positive note. Van de Ven believes that this victory would be a reward for the fans who have supported the team throughout the season.

The team's chairman, Daniel Levy, gave each player an engraved watch last year when they reached the final, but came second. Van de Ven is keen to make sure that this year they come first, and he plans to treat himself to something special to remember the occasion.

Van de Ven also spoke about the team's manager, Ange Postecoglou. He wants to win the trophy for him, especially since it would be a great achievement in his second season at the club. Postecoglou has been a positive influence on the team, and Van de Ven believes that he has kept the team motivated throughout the season.

Tottenham's season is hanging in the balance, and a win in the Europa League final would be a huge boost. It would secure a spot in next season's Champions League and a significant increase in the team's budget for the summer transfer window.
