Leicester: James Maddison’s dig at big six clubs during quality interview

During a truly unique post-match interview, James Maddison spoke with exceptional candour for a sportsperson. This was following Leicester City’s drubbing of Chelsea.

Maddison has given Gareth Southgate a huge selection problem ahead of England’s next fixtures, due to the attacking midfielder’s dazzling form for the Foxes of late.

Madders has never really underperformed for the King Power side over the time he’s been on Filbert Way since joining from Norwich City. However, injury at the end of the 2019/20 campaign rolled into this term. Along with taken out of context off pitch conduct, as well as Jack Grealish’s and Phil Foden’s form for Aston Villa and Manchester City respectively, giving the Englishman a figurative mountain to climb in order to reappear among teachers’ pets, like the quality yet uninspiring Mason Mount of Chelsea.

Nevertheless, Maddison worked extremely hard: adding more selflessness and grit to his game, emerging as an improved player. He is, of course, now one of the Premier League’s prominent talents in the No.10 role. Although, unlike other rivals for prominence with the Three Lions, Madders can be effectively deployed as a No.8, too.

Anyway, enough of on-field Madders, let’s get to his latest media buzz after some intriguing interviews.

James Maddison, Leicester City’s media darling

Maddison is much more than just a footballing pretty boy, as some have adjudged him: this man has sensibilities and a loyalty that must be admired. That’s more than Foxes of Leicester can say for some former-Foxes.

After the 24-year-old piled the pressure on Frank Lampard by scoring one of the goals that sent the Foxes to the top of the EPL table, Maddison had an interesting chat with Sky Sports. In which, the midfield man had a warning and a dig for the collective formerly known as the big six:

"‘There might be teams that can spend more than us and bring in quality from abroad and pay big wages for big players, but that team spirit and togetherness is here at Leicester City for all to see’– James MaddisonVia Football Daily"
