Arriving in the summer of 2022 at Bayern Munich with the promise label, Mathys Tel quickly confirmed the hopes placed in him. Decisive in a role of second knife last year, the player trained at Stade Rennais has taken on another dimension this season by becoming the club’s providential man during his debuts (6 goals, 1 assist in 301 minutes game). An express adaptation that he owes in particular to the other French people in the squad, starting with Kingsley Coman. Present at a press conference this Wednesday with the Blues, the former PSG player was also enthusiastic about the future of his younger brother.
“His progress is extraordinary compared to his arrival. Already in training, we see a difference, we see that he is maturing, that he is really evolving day by dayunderlined the 27-year-old. For the moment what he is doing this season is extraordinary for the club, he has brought us a lot of points with the little playing time he has. But beyond the goals, the dynamic he has when he comes in, his mentality to work every day without ever complaining, to do everything for the team, it’s something that I admire, that I appreciated and that we don’t often see in young players. It’s beautiful. If he continues like this, I think he will be able to reach the top.»
So happy to represent France
His trainer, Thomas Tuchel, is also under his spell. The former PSG coach has not yet started him this season in the Bundesliga, nor in the Champions League, but this situation should quickly change if we rely on the speech given by the German technician about his young scorer. “He loves being here. He accepts all situations. It’s remarkable to have someone who doesn’t say: ‘I want to leave, I want more, I want to go somewhere else’. He’s good here. The youngster is training incredibly well. He is 18 years old and doing his best. He is therefore still very young, but his influence is already enormous. He is both impatient and patient. He accepts his role. He is always positive, always has a smile, in training. It’s great ! He plays an important role for us. He accepts it so well that it’s a pleasure for all of us to have him, because he takes matches to another level when he comes on. He also deserves to be a starter, and he will be, it will come naturally”he declared on the microphone of Bundesliga TV.
Praised everywhere on the other side of the Rhine, Mathys Tel has such a love rating there that the decision-makers of the German federation have confirmed that they would dream of naturalizing him in order to have him play with the Nationalmannschaft. “Of course he is a great striker. We could definitely try it. But ultimately, it is the player himself and his family who decide (whether to naturalize or not). The roots are very French. We all know we don’t have many top strikers in Germany. You have to make the best of it.”, indicated the sports director of the Federation, Rudi Völler. Words that delighted the Tel clan. “No one told us about this possibility. We saw Rudi Völler’s statement and it shows that all Germans love Mathys and his work.declared Munich’s advisor, Gadiri Camara, to Sky Germany. Since then, this hypothesis has taken a turn for the worse. In addition to FIFA regulations which force the player to have to wait several years before being able to apply for a German passport, Bild has just published the remarks made by the main person concerned during the rally with the Espoirs tricolores. “I am very happy to be here. There is nothing better than the feeling of representing France.” The end of the series?
