The rumor mill around Mathys Tel from FC Bayern has been boiling more and more in the past few days, as the offensive player should be in concrete conversations with Tottenham Hotspur about a winter change. It is all the more surprising that the young Frenchman found himself for the first time in the current Champions League season in the Bayern starting eleven.

“He deserves it,” said the simple explanation of head coach Vincent Kompany on the “DAZN” microphone when asked why Tel once again made it into the starting formation of Munich.

The 19-year-old was called on the offensive wing instead of Serge Gnabry. To date, Tel had no role under Company. Finally, speculation about the goal scorer increased that he could leave the club, at least on a loan base for the current second half of the season.

Vincent Kompany did not want to comment on the rumors around Mathys Tel around the game against Slovan Bratislava: “No, these are stories from outside. This has nothing to do with my job and role. I have no ulterior motives. Who deserves it, Plays with me.

Ballack: “Total commitment to the player looks different”

Ex-Bayern star Michael Ballack was surprised that Tel of all people was able to do again on February 3 so shortly before the transfer period on February 3.

“A total commitment to the player looks different. But Kompany generally keeps it very neutral and is very reserved and protective in his statements. Tel has not played a role under Kompany. The fact that he plays today is a bit surprising and maybe one Signed a bit of the constellation, “said the former national team captain at” DAZN “.

To date, Tels French compatriot Michael Olise had clearly preserved the preference in the current Bavarian season and is one of the big winners at the German record champions with ten competitive players.
