Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Maddison recently talked about captain Son Heung-min in an interview and praised the star as one of the best people he has ever met.

In the 2024/25 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur has been unable to achieve a stable performance, so winning the UEFA Europa League became the final redemption of the "Lily White".

In the Europa League final earlier, Brennan Johnson seized the opportunity in the melee and scored against Manchester United. In the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 at the San Mamés Stadium, successfully lifted the trophy, and also qualified for the Champions League, bringing a perfect end to this thorny season.

It is worth mentioning that Son Heung-min, who played for Tottenham Hotspur for 10 years, not only won his first championship, but also became the first Asian captain to lead the team to win the European championship.

In addition, the scene of 28-year-old Maddison hugging Son Heung-min on the court has also become a classic moment of this victory.

Madison said, "We had a special and touching moment on the court. I just told him how much I love him and respect everything he represents, and let him enjoy it. He is one of the best people I have ever met in my life. I really love him. Seeing him lift the trophy in Bilbao was a wonderful moment."

"This is the club he loves, he's been here for 10 years. To see him live his dream and share that moment with him, it's more than just a job, it's our life. As a human being, you couldn't have asked for a better person.

Praises the coach's belief in helping the team succeed

Madison also emphasized, "He is polite to everyone and always treats my family warmly every time he sees them, and the same goes for my children. He is an amazing person and I am really happy for him."

In addition, although he successfully led the team to end the 17-year championship drought, coach Postecoglou's future at Tottenham Hotspur has still attracted attention from the media and the outside world.

When talking about coach Postecoglu, Madison said, "Postecoglu is really outstanding. His previous response was a classic and the most powerful counterattack moment. His biggest advantage is his firm belief in his coaching philosophy, and this belief has also been passed on to us and led us into the European arena."

"Some managers and clubs can go years without winning trophies, you look at Tottenham Hotspur and he's a manager who's been successful over time.
