Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers believes that James Maddison deserves an England call-up after yet another dominant display in their 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest. With nine goals in his previous 11 Premier League games, Maddison believes he is in the finest shape of his career. Brendan Rodgers, his manager, supports his selection as he seeks to increase the one England cap he already has. Leicester’s subpar performance may have concealed the reality that Maddison is currently thriving.
“Being a manager is a very challenging job, and you can only imagine how Gary feels working there with the quality that is available,” Brendan Rodgers said about James Maddison. “It is really unfortunate, both for the nation and the youngster, in my opinion. You can clearly observe his talent and performance over the past 18 months. Only Harry Kane, in my opinion, has contributed to more goals scored by English players. Not even being on the roster, and I believe having a player of that caliber, even if he is not going to start, is important. In addition, international football relies on players with the creativity to seize the initiative and alter the course of the game.”
“Since we’ve been at the bottom of the league and things haven’t gone our way, it’s been a little odd, but I’ve been almost as confident as I’ve ever been in my career,” Maddison said. “I can’t recall ever feeling or playing better than I have over the past 12 months. It is challenging to respond because you want to say the correct thing and avoid making a mistake, but that is my objective and my goal. A chance at that level is something I want and know I would have an impact on, and I hope will come my way at some point since I am a football fan and I watch international sport.”
