James Maddison cautioned Tottenham teammates against complacency following their comeback win over AZ in the Europa League. After trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Spurs rallied with goals from Wilson Odobert and Maddison. Despite the current 13th position in the Premier League, Maddison emphasized that reaching the quarter-finals is just a step, highlighting the importance of maintaining focus. He noted the crucial role of returning defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in stabilizing the team, which had struggled with injuries earlier in the season. Spurs are set to face Eintracht Frankfurt next.
"There was a lot of talk after last week's performance, we were honest with ourselves - it wasn't good enough. I know what we're capable of here and we got the job done. We haven't achieved anything yet, we're in the quarter-finals and we kick on and we look forward to it."
"Over the last few months when we've spoken about injuries and missing key players, then tonight, we're stood in the tunnel and you look at the team and it's a group of men. When you have the spine of players who are experienced and have played at this level for a long time, it makes a difference."
