Ange Postecoglou says 26-year-old Tottenham player can become a star for England now
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, believes that James Maddison will shine for England against Australia and Italy in their next matches.
The 26-year-old’s tenure in a Spurs uniform has gotten off to a fantastic start. This season, he has been among the Premier League’s top players, and now he has received a second call-up to the England team.
James Maddison, a Tottenham player, has Ange Postecoglou’s support as he strives to make England a star.
James Maddison, a star for Tottenham, has long been a fantastic player in the Premier League, but he has struggled to find opportunities with the England team.
Given that he is already 26 and has been putting in work for a while, the midfielder has only received four senior caps for the Three Lions, which is shocking.
Although Gareth Southgate ought to seriously consider giving Maddison a chance in the coming days, he is still far from a lock to start for England.
Ange Postecoglou, his Tottenham manager, has given him the go-ahead to shine for the Three Lions.
There’s no reason why not, Postecoglou responded to Football London when asked if Maddison might be as good for England as he has been for Tottenham.
“National teams are a bit funny because having great club form isn’t always the greatest indicator as to having a great international career,” he added. There are a tonne of other things that need to line up. Sometimes it depends on the situation, the opportunity, the other players in the position, the amount of time you get to play, and the type of game.Even though there are still a lot of pieces to put in place, Madders is capable of playing and performing at the highest level. “I think one of the reasons he came to Tottenham was to show people that he’s got more layers to his game, and I think he’s showing that, no question about it,” he said. We can only hope that he uses that to help England.
Maddison should start for England against Australia
Tomorrow’s friendly match between England and Australia at Wembley is the ideal one for James Maddison to make his debut under Gareth Southgate.
This season in the Premier League, the Englishman has two goals and five assists. He has unquestionably earned his spot on the team, and it is now time for him to begin matches.
When Maddison backed up Harry Kane during Tottenham’s preseason, he looked pretty excellent. Since they started out together, England might become a major power. That connection is unlikely to have progressed farther.
It will be intriguing to see if Southgate makes an exception for Maddison tomorrow, given that he seldom ever adjusts his position.
