In Matchday 4 of the Premier League, Tottenham drew 0-0 with Everton at home. After the match, Tottenham defender Van Hecke gave an interview to the club's official media.

JP, thanks for interviewing me. First, tell us your thoughts on the team's performance today.

Obviously, we're disappointed with the result because we came here to win, but ultimately we couldn't manage it, so it's frustrating.

What areas does the team still need to improve?

I think we kept another clean sheet, which is a positive. But I feel like we had opportunities to push closer to their goal and penetrated the box really well, but we lacked the right decisions in the final moment. Sometimes we need to shoot earlier, and sometimes we need to pass. So that's definitely something we need to study and work on improving.

Do you feel the team just needs to take that first chance, break the deadlock, and build some momentum?

Yes, I think the fans were brilliant today; they continued to support us and push us on. Of course, they need a goal, and we need a goal too. Once we get that goal, everything becomes easier, and a goal changes the game. But we'll continue to work hard. However, I think towards the end of the match, we were a bit rushed, which led to some sloppy moments, and we certainly need to do better in that regard.

I know we came here to win and that's the only objective, but I still want to talk about the importance of keeping a clean sheet. I think we should acknowledge that you and Micky van de Ven are gradually building understanding in our defence. Can you talk about how you're developing that partnership? How proud are you to be able to keep opponents from scoring?

I think everything starts with defence. To win matches and pick up points, you have to keep a clean sheet. If you want to win, you have to be able to defend well. Today we kept another clean sheet, which is very good. Micky played really well, and I think all the defenders and other players are working hard to help us, which is great. But unfortunately, that still wasn't enough to help us win.

Finally, with a busy schedule ahead, how useful will it be to have the next match coming up quickly, allowing the team to recover and get straight back into it?

I think we just need to keep going, work hard to improve ourselves and get better, keep a positive attitude, and make sure we're striving to do better every day. I'm 100% confident that we'll get good results. Of course, I wanted to win today too, so right now I'm very disappointed. I wanted to win last week as well, but what I want to say is we need to keep pushing forward, keep working hard, and make sure we get wins in our matches.
