Pedro Porro reveals what he told Maddison before Brentford masterclass
Pedro Porro has taken to social media to remind James Maddison exactly what he told him before kick-off against Brentford on Saturday.
Man of the Match Maddison
Maddison delivered what was one of his best displays in a Spurs shirt against the Bees, being at his enterprising and creative best.
With the 27-year-old once again operating as one of two number-eights alongside Dejan Kulusevski, he was given the freedom to drop deeper to pick up possession, and he made the most of that opportunity.
The former Leicester man showed great balance and quick feet to get away from his man on a couple of occasions and open up the pitch for his side.
He also drifted left on a few occasions and got involved in some excellent interplay at the edge of the box with Son Heung-min and Destiny Udogie.
Maddison eventually got his just reward on 85 minutes as he was played through on goal by Son and he produced a lovely dinked finish past the goalkeeper to put the game beyond the away side.
What did Pedro Porro tell Maddison before kick-off?
Porro wrote on his Instagram Stories: “Madders, I told you in the warm-up today was your day. My number 10” followed by handshake and heart emojis.
Spurs Web Opinion
Maddison has been outstanding since the first game of the season and this sort of performance was coming. The 27-year-old really thrives when he is given the chance to drop deeper and get more involved in the game, which our current system does.
