Micky van de Ven, who has been playing as a left back for the Dutch national team, has had a disappointing run of three matches. Valentijn Driessen believes that Van de Ven has not played well in these matches and it is time for a new player to take his place. Driessen thinks that Van de Ven's lack of experience as a left back is a major issue, as he has been playing centrally in his club teams for years.

Driessen has identified Ian Maatsen as the ideal replacement for Van de Ven. Maatsen, who was not seen as a potential left back by former coach Koeman, has impressed Driessen with his performances, particularly against Spain in the Nations League last year. Driessen believes that Maatsen is a more comfortable and skilled player than Van de Ven, and would be a better fit for the left back position.

Ian Maatsen is a good player, according to Valentijn Driessen. He is a player who has impressed Driessen with his performances, and Driessen believes that he would be a better choice than Micky van de Ven.
