Tottenham vice-captain James Maddison expressed his belief that he misses his time as coach of Enze Postecoglou.
Madison, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in South Korea in August, is still in rehabilitation. Madison, who underwent surgery immediately and is now entering his fourth month of rehabilitation, appeared on Sky Sports in the UK on the 9th (Korea time). At the meeting, Madison said honestly that he enjoyed playing soccer as Postecoglou.
Madison recalled his time as Postecoglou, saying, `I did a lot of work on the training ground. We always had a basic structure and model when we were training, and that was the way the fullbacks came in and the wingers stood high and wide. It was hardly allowed to move from the bottom, and it wasn't like rotation in midfield, it was a more fixed structure."

Postecoglou played very aggressive football for Tottenham. Postecoglou's football is not remembered for winning the Europa League (UEL), but rather for a 1-4 defeat at home to Chelsea. At that time, Tottenham played by raising its defense line to the limit even when the exit came out.
Postecoglou's aggressive football philosophy is based on Pep Guardiola's. Madison said "We've seen it a few times, watching scenes that Guardiola and Oleksandr Zinchenko did, and we did it like that when there was only one full-back and two. Eventually, the fullbacks end up in position 10. Postecoglou really liked the way fullbacks did. "Because we always dealt with it in training" explained the characteristics of Postecoglou's offensive football.

This role at Tottenham was mainly played by Pedro Porro. When Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson spread their width from both wings to the end of the line as much as possible, Porro, left full-back, and Destiny Udo-gi mainly moved to half space to help join the numbers. There was only Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn and one defensive midfielder left in the back room. In the early days of Postecoglou, Tottenham once ranked first in the league, working very successfully.
Both performance and results were on the decline as the breakthrough method came out and Tottenham's Jujuk players were injured. Nevertheless, Postecoglou insisted on Plan A. Madison went on to say, `The footage showed the fullbacks standing in position 10, and the scenes where number 10 or 8 were originally in the fullback position. It was this kind of rotation. The rescue was still there, but it didn't matter who took on the role`At the time, Tottenham's football was very organic and organized.

Madison also said "We had some ups and downs when we were with Postecoglou, but we had a lot of fun. I really liked those short times. That's when I miss it. Perhaps I felt that I missed the ups and downs themselves. I think that makes people alive. These days, I miss everything about the game. But those days remain especially good memories and I still remember them often."
