James Maddison on his performance and collaboration with Kulusevski during Tottenham’s win against Manchester City:
James Maddison said “Two different goals in a way. I actually said to Kulu before the game, because obviously he hasn’t played on the wing as much lately, but being left-footed on the right wing with his ability when he cuts in I can make that run from that left half-space, that left pocket area from midfield. I’ve done it a few times this season from passes from [Cristian] Romero and deeper when I make that run in from behind but I haven’t actually scored. It was a brilliant ball, I didn’t even have to break stride, so credit to Kulu. We won it high up, I passed it to him and I thought it would be cleverer to run around him rather than underneath him, which we do quite a lot, just because I had seen Kyle Walker was just a little bit high. I found a tiny little bit of space in the box and managed to execute a nice little delicate one over Ederson. Really happy with the two finishes. I always judge myself on goals and assists as an attacking player so yeah happy.”
Dejan Kulusevski providing insights into the tactical preparation that led to a successful play during the game against Manchester City:
Dejan Kulusevski said “Maddison told me just before the game to look for me when cutting inside. Crazy but exactly that happened. The ball was perfect and the finish was good. But it’s still hard when leading 1-0, but after 2-0 we really got on top and we defended really good. I think Ben Davies and Dragusin were unbelievable, with Pedro and Destiny so unbelievable protecting the crosses. This is the standard, this is how we have to play every game. If not, we’re just stupid.”
