“The pace is insane. You don’t have moments when you couldn’t pay attention, you have to be sharp every second. If you are not, then you can just be beaten,” he told Viaplay, relayed by VI.

Working with raw talent in the Premier League is a risky venture but Postecoglou has taken it and Van den Ven is keen to praise him for the patience he is showing.

“A very calm man, very clear in what we have to do. I think that’s the most important thing,” he added.
“He doesn’t want to be very on top of everything, you have that too. He expects from his central defenders that we are very high and that we continue to play football.
“Even if you win the ball in your own box, even then he wants you to build up.”
