Why does Southgate say Maddison is 'difficult' ?
I'm inclined to agree. I think he resents the fact that the media have foisted Madders on him. He's doing a right character assassination.I mean, it’s pretty obvious he hates his ****ing guts.
I think he dislikes him because his form causes him a problem.I mean, it’s pretty obvious he hates his ****ing guts.
I think it's a complete personality clash.
Did Southgate call Maddison 'difficult', or did he call the situation 'difficult'? Since England don't play with a creative attacking midfielder, I can understand why either changing the system to fit a player or asking a player to play a position that isn't what they do at their club and is the reason for their call up might be 'difficult'.

Southgate on Maddison:
"You want to be high-performance, low-maintenance. I am prepared to work with players who are more difficult but you're more likely to back those players if they've scored a winner for you and sweated blood for you, and that's the bond you build with those players over a longer period of time."
