In the face of mounting pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou due to Tottenham Hotspur's disappointing Premier League campaign, midfielder James Maddison maintains that the squad is fully behind their manager and believes they can still turn the season into "something very special." The North London club, who host Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday, will be without captain Son Heung-min due to a foot injury. Despite the team's league struggles, Maddison is optimistic about their European prospects and emphasizes the importance of reaching a first European final since the 2019 Champions League showpiece. Postecoglou, meanwhile, has dismissed the tag of favoritism and expressed his respect for Bodo/Glimt, who reached the semi-finals by beating Lazio on penalties. The Australian manager also addressed the diminished perception of Tottenham's European success amid their league form, reiterating the significance of the opportunity to create a special moment for the club's fans.
