The last days of 2022 are all about looking back at NH Sport. Which reports, stories and moments deserve to be read one more time in the spotlights to put? Today: Micky van de Ven, the central defender from Wormer who moved from bench seat to VfL Wolfsburg in Germany. He made such an impression that he was in the race to join the Dutch national team for the World Cup in Qatar.
We visited him in the city known for the Volkswagen car brand. He took our reporter Stephan Brandhorst through the stadium where he shines every week. The timing to stop by in Wolfsburg was excellent. On Friday, Van de Ven heard in the family’s group app that he was in the World Cup pre-selection and on Tuesday we spoke with the overjoyed North Hollander.
