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 reached the levels that won him the August Player of the Month title at the beginning of the campaign. Despite all of this introspection, Maddison is hopeful that he won’t be too far from returning to his peak performance. He said the following to The Express:
“I am quite hard on myself,”
“I may not be as good as I was when I won player of the month at the beginning of the season, but I’m still not too bad.”
Madison has made 23 appearances this season in all competitions, contributing 4 goals and 7 assists. But the majority of these contributions were made prior to his setback with injury.
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.
