Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison is giving strong support to manager Ange Postecoglou. There is a lot of talk about the Australian’s future at the club.
MADDISON’S SUPPORT
Before Tottenham’s important Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt, Maddison showed his support for Postecoglou. “We’re behind the manager 100%. I think he’s a great man,” Maddison said. He also admitted that Postecoglou knows the team has played poorly, especially in the Premier League, where Spurs are in 16th place.
A TOUGH SEASON
Tottenham is struggling in the Premier League this season. The team is in 16th place, far from expectations. Maddison called the situation “unacceptable” and said it is hard for players and fans. Despite this, Spurs are doing better in Europe, reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League.
NEXT EUROPEAN DRAW
The Europa League is now Tottenham’s best chance to have a positive season. Maddison noted this opportunity, saying they’re just two games from a final. “This is why we’re so motivated for this competition because the season can still be special,” he stated. Spurs play Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals, and Postecoglou’s job might depend on the outcome. Winning a European trophy would end Tottenham’s long wait for silverware and could save the manager’s job.
FANS’ SUPPORT
Maddison also thanked Tottenham supporters who continue to support the team despite bad results. “We are very grateful that they still, even in the league position we’re in and have nothing to play for, they’re still selling out Liverpool away and we do appreciate that,” he said. The midfielder knows fans may not want to hear encouraging words after losses, but he promised the players will work hard to succeed in Europe and reward them.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR SPURS?
All eyes are on Tottenham’s Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt. The Norwegian team has surprised European rivals before, and Spurs can’t take this match lightly. Postecoglou’s future at the club depends on these games. Although Maddison supports him, he may need to win in Europe to stay on as manager.
