Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently participating in pre-season training in Hong Kong, will play a North London derby against Arsenal in a friendly match. Van der Ven said that the team certainly wants to win this victory and hopes to meet the challenges of the new season with good results.

"This is a very important game for us," said 24-year-old Tottenham Hotspur defender Van der Ven. "It's a North London derby. Even if it's just a pre-season game, it's still a big game and the team always wants to win the North London derby."

It is worth mentioning that in last season's UEFA Europa League final against Manchester United, after Tottenham Hotspur took the lead with a goal from Brennan Johnson, Van der Ven made a wonderful clearance at a critical moment in the second half, and helped the team win the championship with his teammates.

"Winning the trophy certainly gives us a lot of confidence. It's an incredible way to end the season," van der Ven continued. "Everyone has had a taste of winning the title now, so I feel like everyone is hungry to do it again."

"Getting enough game time in pre-season is also important and playing against a team like Arsenal will be a valuable test in preparation for the UEFA Super Cup and the Premier League."

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank said, "This is a huge challenge. Besides being our biggest rivals, this is also the first North London derby to be held outside of England. I regret to say that Arsenal is one of the best teams in the world. Facing Arsenal, this is more than just a friendly, and we will do our utmost to win."

When talking about the team's lineup status, Thomas Frank said, "Having a healthy lineup is extremely important for any club. It is important for players to stay healthy and ready to play at any time, but it is not easy because there are more and more games and the intensity is constantly increasing."

"Fortunately, we have a good and long pre-season, which allows us to arrange the players' training and recovery more plannedly. We have a clear idea of how to play and train, and have made some adjustments. We hope that these changes will bring positive results."
