Maddison defends Tottenham's young players from criticism

James Maddison has asked for criticism to be directed at him instead of Tottenham's young players, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. He expressed his willingness to take the heat as the team struggles in the Premier League. Tottenham's manager, Ange Postecoglou, faces pressure to improve the team's performance as they aim for a top-half finish. Maddison has scored 10 goals and provided seven assists this season, despite facing negative comments. Maddison acknowledged criticism from former player Roy Keane but chose not to engage with it. He emphasized the hard work the team puts in behind the scenes and his confidence in his abilities.
