Bayern Munich fans are already crazy about him. At 18, Mathys Tel had a great start to the season in the Bavarian jersey with three goals and an assist in just 57 minutes played in five matches. Scorer for the first time in the Champions League on Wednesday evening against Manchester United (4-3), the striker trained at Stade Rennais received congratulations from his compatriot and teammate Dayot Upamecano, before speaking at the microphone of Bein Sports .
“It feels good, I’ve been waiting for this goal for a long time,” he said after the victory against the Red Devils. I worked for it and my teammates helped me a lot. We are here today, it is the fruit of my work. I’m happy and we must continue like this. I’m at a club full of ambition and so when you play at this club you have to be ambitious. I have to want to tear myself apart for the team, that’s what I think I’m doing and I’m going to continue to do it. Training with all his players helps me a lot, I have to keep working.”
Determined to quickly climb the ranks, the French under-19 international admitted to already dreaming of the France A team. Even if he could first go through the Espoirs led by Thierry Henry. “The French team is in my head because it is my nation and my country. I would like to spend a few minutes there but you have to be patient, it’s important. I have to grow and when I am called, I will be happy,” he assured. After only playing 600 minutes last season (6 goals in 28 games), Mathys Tel seems set to do better under the orders of Thomas Tuchel. Bayern are taking advantage of his enormous talent which, without a doubt, does not go unnoticed in the eyes of Didier Deschamps.
