Speaking after the match, Maddison, who joined Spurs from Leicester City during the summer transfer window explained the ‘non-negotiable’ rule under Postecoglou.
He said to Sky Sports: “It's one of the main messages [pressing high]. If you look back at the teams he has managed, they have always been front-pressing teams.
“The first day he came in, he said high-pressing is a non-negotiable at any stage of the game. I think we had a game in pre-season when we went 2-0 up and sat back a little bit and he went ballistic at half-time. It was Shakhtar Donetsk here and he said it was how Tottenham have been in the past and he said it's a non-negotiable to carry on pressing throughout the entirety of the game.”
