"It's not rocket science, it doesn't have to be someone extremely intelligent to realise that that can really help, especially when a big team with the quality that we have to utilise that when teams like Ipswich, no disrespect, have less quality than us throughout the squad, that we can bring on players like myself, Wilson, if they're not in the XI, and really change the swing of the game.
"I left the ground running in Hoffenheim, I got a goal and an assist that night as well, so I feel good, I feel really good actually, I feel sharp," Maddison said.
Maddison is one of a number of Spurs players to have returned to the squad in the last fortnight and the easing of their winter injury crisis has coincided with three straight league wins.
Maddison was sidelined for three weeks with a calf strain but scored the winner on his return to the side against Manchester United last weekend and helped to take the game away from Ipswich when he was introduced on the hour with Spurs leading 2-1 through Brennan Johnson's double.
I think there'll be teams that are in and around the same position as us, mid-table-ish, that probably don't feel like they can, but our ceiling is quite high, especially when we have our senior players back, so we're capable of going on that run and bridging that gap, and that's what we're hungry to do.
