Everything is going quickly, very quickly for Mathys Tel. At a time when some are still roaming the training centers or school benches, the native of Sarcelles was transferred for €28.5 million to Bayern Munich after 10 small professional appearances with Stade Rennais, his training club. After a first season of adaptation at 17 years old in a club as emblematic as the Bavarian club (6 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions), the French U19 international striker decided to stay in Munich even though there were many of his own advise going on loan (OM was once cited as a potential base) to gain playing time.
This was also confirmed by Thomas Tuchel, very happy to have such a jewel in his ranks, following his team’s victory against FC Copenhagen… on a goal from Mathys Tel. “He didn’t want to leave (during the summer) and decided to stay and fight. He’s a player who says: ‘I’m here and I’m going to do it’.”. And the French striker, used more and more by the former PSG coach since the start of the season (10 appearances including tax), was able to thank in his own way the trust Tuchel has in him. Such records follow one after the other as some string pearls (6 goals or one goal every 49 minutes).
the striker with the best playing time/goal ratio in Europe!
The number 39 of Bayern Munich, who revealed a few days ago to have refused Real Madrid, can boast thanks to his goal scored in the Champions League, his second in two matches, of being the player with more than 250 minutes of playing time which has the best ratio of the 5 major championships in all competitions, as revealed Opta. Another figure that makes you dizzy: at 18 years old, he is the second youngest French player to score two goals in C1, at 18 years and 5 months… all in just 16 minutes of play! Tel thus places himself behind Kylian Mbappé, who had found the fault twice in C1 at 18 years and 2 months, with AS Monaco. A great reference and reason to hope for a great career already off to a flying start.
a super joker unanimously hailed in Germany!
For its part, the German press is full of praise for the 18-year-old French crack. “With his wildcard goals, Mathys Tel is slowly but surely becoming FC Bayern’s employee of the month”explains Abendzeitung Munich. THE Berliner Zeitung also speaks of a super joker to qualify Mathys Tel while other German media are starting to imagine him in the shoes of a potential starter at Bayern Munich.
Beyond his performances, the former Rennais also impresses with his simplicity and modesty as Thomas Tuchel explains again. “The boy trains incredibly well and has a completely decent attitude to the role he currently has. He’s only 18 and he’s making the most of it right now. He takes everything in a positive way, always has a smile on his face and finishes his training very well. Enough to undoubtedly convince the coach of the French Espoirs team, Thierry Henry, who will not be able to do without the new sensation of European football for long…
