Leicester: James Maddison is living the dream on and off the field

Leicester City’s star midfielder James Maddison is living the dream on and off the field, as he showcases his amazing garden football pitch.

Praise for Maddison has increased exponentially in recent weeks: relentless goals, committed displays, with crowd-pleasing and endearing interviews raising ‘Madders” profile. More and more journalists, experts and opposition supporters have taken to the 24-year-old in recent times.

To be honest, the playmaker was already a well-known footballer for many reasons; holding infamy for a ridiculously priced backpack that he was entitled to buy. Even in that instance, when brutally savaged on Twitter and away from the internet, Maddison didn’t take the comments to heart. Going to social media to address the ‘situation’ with a jovial approach. That scenario also won him fans – even if we question some of his sartorial choices!

Away from game, Leicester City star living sportsman’s dream

Every little boy playing football avidly wants to become a professional one day, it’s just natural. It’s been like that for at least a century – but not many make it. Maddison made it to the top of the game, where certain rewards emerge.

One of the things to transpire from fame and fortune are obviously luxury items. But this time Madders has made a choice that we can all get on board with. As you can above, the Fox has two full-sized goals on his back garden pitch.

Following praise for his unique candour in an interview with Sky Sports after Leicester defeated Chelsea comfortably, Madders also gave insightful answers to lcfc.com’s enquiries. In which, the former Norwich City man explains several elements of his current team’s success this campaign. He mentioned the astuteness of the gaffer and his staff for identifying when to strike at Chelsea.

In addition, the midfielder suggested that the Foxes have changed their mentality, which has benefited them this campaign. Maddison says furthermore that Wilfred Ndidi deserves praise for his work, not just the odd goal. And that briefly being at the summit of the Premier League was a psychological boost for the east Midlanders.
