Mathys Tel manages to achieve great things with crumbs. Since the start of the season and following on from his end of last campaign, the former Stade Rennais has stood out off the bench. At Bayern, it’s not easy to make your way when the competition is Harry Kane, Thomas Müller or even Musiala. But the 18-year-old center forward is not shy, which does not go unnoticed within the Bavarian club according to BILD.
The day after his goal against Manchester United in the Champions League, Thomas Tuchel hugged Tel in training. “The boy is just incredibly fun. He has good character and mentality, the kind of young player you want., describes Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund at the same time. For Müller, the contribution of the young Frenchman is crucial: “He always gives energy, he always wants to score a goal, that’s why we love him.” Even goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is under the spell: “Mathys is a good guy, curious, eager to learn, down to earth and works a lot on himself. He is a role model for all the young players who come here. He comes in and does his job. We’ve had other examples that haven’t handled it that way.” So much praise which makes Mathys Tel an essential element of Bayern, for the moment as a supersub.
