The most nostalgic Tottenham

The ‘spurs’ miss their ‘amulet‘: with English in the field, still they don’t know defeat

Even injured, he is still the Premier footballer who more shooting actions created so far this season

They started out as one of the big surprises of the season. Without making much noise, they won games until they were at the top of the table. Perhaps, after the sensitive departure of Harry Kane al Bayern, there were few who bet on them. But there they were, enjoying their big moment and looking askance at City, Arsenal, Liverpool and company.

Many might wonder what has been the success formula of the whole of North London. And the answer is simple: the Maddison-Son duo.

The signing of the playmaker from Leicester was one of Postecoglou’s big bets, and his performance was being extraordinary until he had the misfortune of suffering an ankle injury.

OF THE GREAT ALLIES

12 goals and 7 assists between them. Some numbers that explain Tottenham’s great start in the Premier. And these two footballers have been able to ‘make forget’ to all one club legend as was Harry Kane.

James Maddison has been able to bring out the best again Heung-Min Son, who has become the team’s main offensive reference. Starting from the left side or as a striker, the South Korean is key in the Spurs’ game. Furthermore, he has taken that step forward that was requested of him after Kane’s departure and has become the top scorer of the team with nine goals in 14 days.

THE ‘AMULET’ OF THE TEAM

Tottenham’s start in the Premier was almost perfect. In 10 days disputed, they signed up eight wins and two draws. Were undefeated and it seemed that everything was going according to plan. But when you’re at the top, there’s always something that ends getting off the cloud.

And the alarms went off. On the following day, in the crucial duel against Chelsea, Maddison fell injured in the first half. And he had to be replaced just before half-time due to discomfort in his ankle. At that time, the meeting was in a tiebut the double expulsion of ‘Cuti’ Romero and Udogie would end up affecting Tottenham and the game finished 1-4.

Thus, the first defeat of Tottenham in the Premier. But he wouldn’t stay here. In the following matches to date, the balance has been quite negative: two losses and a draw. In this way, it is clear that ‘Madders’ is the clear ‘amulet’ of the team because, with him on the field, the ‘spurs’ have not known defeat.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS THROUGH HIM

James Maddison It has not been a discovery. She was already shining with her own light in the Leicesterwhere he already brought out his enormous talent.

Has a gift for associationespecially in the short distances. He has completed a total of 433 passportsof which 214 have been short, 164 have been to a partner who was at a medium distance, and only 43 have been long trips.

If we look at the order of passers at Tottenham, the players who occupy the first positions are the centre-backs, the goalkeeper or the midfielders. Therefore, he is the most advanced midfielder who touches the most balls.

He is the Premier footballer who more shooting actions created so far this season (80). And from his boots they have been born until 12 that have ended in gol. Or what is the same, it has generated 1.23 goals every 90 minutes.

It is clear that Tottenham has lost steam since his injury, and that he needs him to return to spreading magic on the pitch. However, Maddison himself has given the worst news: “This is probably the longest injury I’ve ever had. “It will be three months, I have never been through that.”.

Everything indicates that we will not see it in action until next month Januaryand Postecoglou is already looking forward to returning to bring together the duo that has brought back his smile this season.
