James Maddison wants Tottenham to be in the mix to win the Premier League this time next year after being left frustrated at missing out on this season바카라s 바카라amazing바카라 title race. (More Football News)
Spurs were top in November but a spate of high-profile injuries and suspensions resulted in Ange Postecoglou바카라s team lacking consistency during the winter months.
It contributed towards Tottenham being engulfed in a top-four battle with Aston Villa instead of the title race, but they could be kingmakers when it comes to deciding the champions.
Arsenal make the short trip across north London later this month, while Spurs face Liverpool and Manchester City in May.
However, Maddison has echoed the recent sentiments of Postecoglou and stated Tottenham want to be in the race next season.
바카라I바카라ve got no interest to be honest. We바카라ve got our own goals for the season and I바카라m not bothered,바카라 Maddison said after Sunday바카라s 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest.
바카라If we end up winning games against teams that are in that race, it makes no difference. We바카라ve got a job to do.
바카라We are where we are and that is something that gives us good motivation to want to be in the title race next year, seeing how good it is this year.
바카라For sure, that바카라s definitely the feeling. That바카라s filtered down from the manager.
바카라It바카라s annoying really, listening to three teams go at it for the title and we바카라re not in it, especially after the start of the season we had.
바카라How exciting is the title race this season? It바카라s amazing, it바카라s brilliant for a neutral. My friends and family, everyone is locked into the Premier League every week at the minute because it바카라s such a good title race.
바카라Frustrating not to be a part of that but we are where we are and we have our own job to do.바카라
Tottenham took control of the battle for fourth spot with a victory over Forest, which saw them leapfrog Aston Villa on goal difference with a game in hand.
Micky van de Ven바카라s thunderous strike at the start of the second half sent Spurs on their way to a crucial win and continued the Dutch defender바카라s outstanding record since he arrived from Wolfsburg in August.
Van de Ven has won 13 of his 20 Premier League appearances and only lost one league fixture during that time when he has finished a game.
Maddison added: 바카라Shooting is not his forte if you see him in training every day but we바카라ll take them ones that go flying into the top corner.
바카라He is a special player, he is top level and credit to the recruitment team because I had never heard of him before we signed him.
바카라The joke is on me really because a player of that calibre, I should probably have heard of in Europe.
바카라A brilliant player, a brilliant trainer, a brilliant lad and a really good guy.바카라
Maddison played a key role in Spurs바카라 third goal after being substituted in their previous two games with West Ham and Luton.
바카라I am very critical of myself,바카라 the England international admitted.
바카라Maybe (I바카라m) not at the heights that won me player of the month at the start of the season, but I am so hungry and so critical of myself to work hard to try and get back to that level.
바카라I am not too far away, I feel good.바카라
