Tottenham star James Maddison promises return to top-form soon
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has faced adversity in recent months due to an ankle injury he sustained back in November. This setback kept him sidelined for a significant period, spanning two-and-a-half months. Despite his return to action in late January, Maddison acknowledges that he hasn’t quite reached the dazzling form he displayed earlier in the season.
In a candid assessment of his performance, Maddison reveals his self-critical nature, admitting that he hasn’t yet hit the heights that earned him the Player of the Month award at the start of the campaign, back in August. However, amidst this self-reflection, there’s a glimmer of optimism as Maddison believes he’s not too far off from rediscovering his best form. Here is what he told The Express:
“I am very critical of myself,”
“Maybe I’m not at the heights that won me player of the month at the start of the season, but I am not too far away.”
Throughout the season, Maddison has made 23 appearances across all competitions, contributing with 4 goals and 7 assists. However, the bulk of these contributions came before his injury setback.
Yesss Madders!
Despite the challenges his way, Madders remains resolute in his determination to elevate his game and help Tottenham secure a top-four finish. Under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, he sees an opportunity to play a significant role in the team’s success, and he remains committed to making the most of it.
For the former Leicester City man, the road to recovery isn’t just physical; it’s also about rediscovering his confidence and rhythm on the pitch. He understands the importance of patience and perseverance as he navigates his way back to peak performance.
In his pursuit of excellence, Maddison draws motivation from his past achievements, using them as benchmarks to gauge his progress. While he may not have yet reached the pinnacle of his abilities, he remains optimistic about the journey ahead and he surely has the support of the broader fanbase.
As Tottenham enters the crucial phase of the season, Maddison’s resurgence could prove pivotal in their quest for success. His ability to influence games with his creativity and vision makes him a valuable asset for Postecoglou’s side. Beyond the statistics, Maddison’s impact on the pitch transcends numbers. His leadership qualities and determination serve as sources of inspiration for his teammates, driving them to raise their own standards.
