James Maddison desperate to start winning trophies | OneFootball

While James Maddison has won numerous individual accolades, he has yet to win a trophy in his professional football career.

With the Leicester attacker turning 24 in November, he’s beginning to get anxious over his trophy ambitions.

In an Instagram Live interview with Thierry Henry and Cesc Fàbregas, Maddison may have given Manchester United fans some hope as he believes winning titles would mean more than anything to him.

“My biggest goal now is to win trophies. In my house, I have a trophy cabinet and there are not many in there. There are individual awards but no trophies. I want trophies.

“When we lost over two legs to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, it is a feeling I have never had before and that’s when I knew something has to change.

“It was heartbreaking. Fingers crossed I can now make that next step.

“We have Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals and hopefully, we get to play that.

“My mouth gets wet when I walk around the Leicester training ground and the stadium and see the pictures of them winning the league and hear the players talk about it.”

Maddison also revealed that he strongly looks up to David Silva and has been trying to emulate his career since the start of his career in the top-flight.

“When I was coming through and watching the Premier League, he was the one that really helped me as I started to understand the game properly.

“He was like me in a way because he was smaller and a bit weaker and a bit late in development but the way he caressed a ball and received it was amazing.

“I cannot think of anyone with a better weight of pass in the Premier League.

“The first time I played at the Etihad with Leicester I had to beg the kit man to get me his shirt. I studied him and to share a field with him was brilliant.”
