James Madison (26) told a behind-the-scenes story of Tottenham's transfer.

Madison appeared on the British program "Sky Sports" "ALOTO (A League of Their Own)" on the 2nd to explain the Tottenham transfer process. Maddison moved from Leicester City to Tottenham at the end of June at the call of manager Angie Postecoglou and signed a five-year contract.

"I talked to Coach Postecoglou and discussed how I would fit into his style of football. At the end of the conversation, Postecoglou said, "Whether you come to Tottenham or not, you will see Tottenham completely different." "I loved the director's confident words," he said.

"The coach then said, 'Whether you come to Tottenham and take on one axis or go to another team, Tottenham will definitely change.' This word hung in my head. In the end, he decided to move to Tottenham. "I thought, 'Let's play for director Lee,' he recalled.

Madison became the top midfielder in the English Premier League (EPL) at the same time as Tottenham transferred last summer. He played in all 10 Premier League games and scored three goals and five assists, tying for third in the assist rankings. In August, the first month of the season, he won the Premier League Player of the Month award.

Postecoglou kept his word. It put Tottenham first in the Premier League alone. Tottenham players, who were in a sense of defeat until last season, are unbeaten under Postecoglou. He took the lead with eight wins and two draws in the opening 10 games. Two points higher than second-place Arsenal.

He also swept the individual award. In August and September, he won back-to-back Premier League Coach of the Month awards. For the first time in Premier League history, he won the Coach of the Month award for the first two months in a row. Before Tottenham's appointment, he was undervalued as a coach without a name value, but he is now recognized as the best coach. 토토사이트

It didn't stop here. He was also nominated for the Director of the Month award in October. Postecoglou, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Villa manager Unai Emery will compete for the managerial award in October.

The effect of Tottenham's recruitment of Madison came from other places as well. Recruitment of Madison played a crucial role in captain Son Heung-min's success by changing his position from side striker to striker. In many cases, Son Heung-min scored a pass that Madison stabbed in the second line.

Madison said, "Son Heung-min is a very good player. It's a world class. Even though he was not close to him when he played for Leicester before, he came to me after the game and praised me for "You're so good." We are now playing for the same team. I want to hug him every morning," he said.
