English attacking midfielder James Maddison has expressed his belief that Tottenham Hotspur has the potential to win major trophies in the coming years. Maddison, who recently completed his first season with the club, was pleased with their fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
As he prepares for Euro 2024 with the England national team, Maddison shared his thoughts on what Spurs can achieve next season. “Yeah, he’s quite popular, isn’t he? Ange is a good man. He’s a great character. I love working for him, and it was nice to see him in his country with the support he gets here,” Maddison said about manager Ange Postecoglou after their friendly defeat against Newcastle in Melbourne.
“The first season of any new project is always challenging. It has its ups and downs. I’m really enjoying working for him, genuinely, and I think we can achieve big things hopefully. So the first year of many, I hope,” Maddison added optimistically.
Reflecting on their post-season tour of Australia, Maddison acknowledged the fatigue caused by the long flights but emphasized the warm welcome they received. “It’s very tiring. It’s obviously a long, long flight to be here. We were in the air for longer than we were actually here for. Jet lag was kicking in this morning in the early hours when I was staring at the ceiling, but the reaction we got and the warm welcome makes the trip worth it,” he explained.
“We’re very appreciative of the support we’ve got over here, especially with our gaffer being Australian. The warm welcome was fantastic, and we’re very appreciative of that,” Maddison concluded gratefully.
In conclusion, Maddison’s positive outlook on Tottenham’s future prospects and his admiration for manager Ange Postecoglou highlight his confidence in the club’s ability to achieve success in the upcoming seasons. Despite the challenges faced during their first year together, Maddison remains optimistic and eager to contribute to the team’s pursuit of major honors.
