James Maddison has given an insight into life under Ange Postecoglou and his coaching team at Tottenham after opening up on the Australian’s training sessions
James Maddison will very much be in the spotlight after sealing a move to the north London club from Leicester City. Speaking on The Diary Room on SPURSPLAY as part of the pre-season tour, the England international gave an insight into what training is like under Postecoglou and also discussed the impact of fellow coaches Chris Davies, Mile Jedinak, Ryan Mason and Matt Wells.
“The way the gaffer talks and the way he wants us to play is very clear and that shows in what he wants from the training sessions,” said Maddison. “Chris Davies, his assistant coach, I know very well from my time at Leicester, we worked together for nearly five years.
“And then getting to know the other coaches as well, nobody is stood on the side as they’re all involved and all taking parts of training. It has been high intensity and good quality, that’s all you can ask for really.”
Maddison and his new teammates are certainly enjoying the training sessions in Australia put on by the coaching staff.
“It was all good,” he added when asked about the first training session in Australia. “We’ve got the full squad back together now, Sonny and Skippy joined up today so we’ve got the full squad in the building. It was good fun.
“We got a welcoming ceremony off some of the locals – a traditional thing here in Australia – which was very new to me. The squad is all here, first training in the bank and the lads are happy.”
“Sometimes as a new player, it can be very difficult going into a new changing room. For me, personally, I’ve always tried to make sure if there is a new player how would I want to feel if it’s me…and this time it is me.”
