Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Cristian Romero are identified by manager Ange Postecoglou as leaders.
Manager Ange Postecoglou selected three people who will play crucial roles in the ever-changing structure of leadership at Tottenham Hotspur. The trio of James Maddison, Son Heung-min, and Cristian Romero has been given the responsibility of leading the Lilywhites through the upcoming trials and successes.
When asked about how these leaders emerged inside the group, Postecoglou acknowledged their importance. He emphasized the value of a player-driven culture inside the team, stressing that his role goes beyond simply articulating an exciting vision; it depends on the players accepting and buying into that vision.
The shrewd man-management expert, who is Greek-Australian, stressed the importance of the dressing room atmosphere in Tottenham’s success. Even though Postecoglou avoids the dressing room, he is aware that the foundation of the group’s energy and unity is created there.
Here is what Ange had to say via football.london on the trio being leaders within the group:
“Yeah I think so. I think it’s important that a lot of it is player driven. I can sit and there and paint some pretty pictures but ultimately they’ve got to buy into it. They’ve got to believe it and I keep saying it’s their dressing room.”
“They go in there every day. I don’t go in the dressing room. The environment in there is going to be key to us being successful. It’s got to be driven by them. They’re the people involved, the people who will lead in there. I think those three, along with others we’ve got in the group will hopefully drive that.”
As the squad navigates the rigours of a demanding season, it is the individuals who inhabit that dressing room daily who will bear the mantle of leadership.
The Triage Of Leaders
James Maddison, the gifted midfielder, brings his creative prowess and on-field intelligence to the fore. With his ability to influence the game and orchestrate attacks, Maddison’s leadership certainly extends beyond words to actions on the pitch. His previous leadership experience with Leicester surely helps.
Son Heung-min, now wearing the captain’s armband following Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich, embodies the epitome of commitment and loyalty. His exceptional talent, complemented by his unwavering dedication to the Lilywhite cause, is a testament to his leadership by example.
Cuti as well, has swiftly established himself as a stalwart in Tottenham’s backline. His steely determination and defensive acumen make him a natural leader at the heart of the defence, where resilience and composure are surely paramount.
