Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou covered James Maddison, who is 'Vice captain'.

Tottenham in crisis. Madison, however, was criticized by some fans for his `outbreakout' appearance. Tottenham brought Wolverhampton home on the 30th of last month (Korea time), but they scored a draw through.

Wolverhampton's Hwang Hee-chan scored the first goal with his right foot on a free-kick set piece seven minutes into the match. Wolverhampton's lead didn't last long.




Tottenham put the game to square one in the 12th minute of the first half when Rodrigo Bentancur equalized with a header from a corner kick. Son Heung-min had a chance to score a penalty kick in the 43rd minute of the first half.

Brennan Johnson stepped up as the kicker of the penalty. However, he was blocked by Jose, the Wolverhampton goalkeeper, and lost a critical chance in the air. Tottenham scored a come-from-behind goal in the 48th minute of the first half with Johnson's help from Dejan Kulusevski.

Coach Postecoglou took out three replacement cards in the 19th minute of the second half. Instead of Son Heung-min, Johnson, and Ives Bissouma, Timo Werner, Pape Sarr and James Maddison were added. But it was 'handshake'.

Except for Sarr, he played a lethargic game, and Wolverhampton's firepower came to life at the last minute. Järgen Strand Larsen shook the net with a powerful right footed shot in the 42nd minute of the second half.

Tottenham were hurt badly. In the last seven matches of the English Premier League (EPL), he has won only one game (two draws and four losses). Tottenham, with 24 points, are in 11th place.

Tottenham had a lot of regrets. However, Johnson and Madison appeared and were seen smiling at the World Darts Championship hours after the match against Wolverhampton, sparking controversy.




Madison is famous for being a big fan of darts. Even after scoring a goal, he plays 'Dart Serimary' The two were 'out' for rest. It could have been a change of atmosphere. But the gaze was not fair.

Tottenham will play Newcastle United in the 20th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at 9:30 p.m. on the 4th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Postecoglou held a press conference against Newcastle on the 3rd.

He said of Madison "He didn't play darts. There is no problem with that. There was no problem with the players' personal lives"Football and privacy are different. I don't think there's a problem with that. It's not even possible to do it."

Madison was originally scheduled to start against Wolverhampton, but was in poor physical condition and took the field as a substitute. Postecoglou said "He wasn't 100%, he needed someone to be 100%. Nevertheless, he was able to play. If you lay in your bed and went to the darts without coming to the game, you might have a problem, but I don't have a problem with that."
