Osman praises Maddinson for showing his real calibre
While praising the midfielder, Osman said :-
“Great from Maddison (on assist v Luton), who has probably been the standout player for Spurs this season.
“But, for a big guy, to shuffle your feet in this way. And it’s a little hop he has as well as he is adjusting his body to go 180 to where he is trying to get the ball. That’s not easy.
“Yes, he’s not going to replace Harry Kane’s goals. But he can replace the aura that Harry Kane had about the player. And, at the moment, he is doing it brilliantly.”
Maddinson’s is currently enjoying his role under new manager Ange Postecoglou in this current campaign. His free roaming role at Spurs is allowing him to exploit the space in the final-third without much defensive responsibility.
