Tottenham tested him physically within his first minute because that was what aggressive teams did to substitutes.
A loose ball dropped near midfield when a Tottenham player came in hard expecting the new signing to back away from contact.
Demien met it instead.

Arturo Vidal — Warrior Spirit
His body lowered into the challenge while his shoulder absorbed the impact, then he held his ground through the contact before knocking the ball into Casemiro's path before Tottenham could swarm him.
「STATS ACTIVE」
Strength: 81 | Aggression: 80
The action was small though important because it killed Tottenham's pressure at the source rather than letting it build.
Three minutes later Tottenham tried breaking again after a United attack collapsed in their final third, and the ball was played toward a runner sprinting into the inside channel.
