James Maddison reveals the best advice Ange Postecoglou has given him and it turns out that it had to do with something away from the pitch.
Ange Postecoglou has a way with words
Over the course of his tenure at Spurs, Postecoglou has rattled off a long list of pithy quotes, with the Australian certainly having a way with words.
Some of his famous one-liners and explanations do not just apply to football but can also be taken as general life advice.
James Maddison reveals the best advice
Maddison was asked to pick the best piece of advice he has heard from his manager in their time together at Tottenham, and the attacking midfielder did not take long to answer.
The 27-year-old told TNT Sports: “Treat everyone at the club as if it’s your family. As if they were your family members.”
This revelation from the England international perhaps sheds light on why we see such camaraderie among the Spurs squad – and at the club in general.
Fostering a family environment at Spurs
Postecoglou has admitted that he does not tend to get too close to the players and is not one for too many one-on-one chats. However, many Spurs players have now talked about the togetherness and family atmosphere that the current regime has created at the club (official website).
That is clearly a priority for Ange, which is why he hardly throws players under the bus publicly and is careful to add the right kind of personalities to the squad.
