Tottenham’s trainer Verzecoglou took Mathys Tel (19) protected after his cumbersome departure from FC Bayern and was optimistic about a firm change from the striker to London. “He will be a Tottenham player,” said Postecoglou before the semi-final second leg in the league cup against Liverpool, in which Tel could be used for the first time. The coach emphasized: “I think he will show everyone in the next six months that he will be a Tottenham player. I didn’t just get him for six months. “
The Tels departure from Munich developed into a small odyssey at the end of the transfer period – also the walk to London. The Spurs had already agreed on the commitment on Friday before the transfer of transfer. But Tel refused, it would have been reportedly preferred to go to Manchester United, with whom the Munich team could not end up. On Monday on the Deadline Day, the re -turn and change of Tels to the LilyWhites followed. Trainer Postecoglou took his new player protected.
Postecoglou: Tel “didn’t want to be pushed in a certain direction”
“This is a simplified perspective”, Poseteclou justified the back and forth. “People have to understand that this is a 19 -year -old player who has to make an important decision about his career. It’s not so much that he would have rejected us or someone else. He rightly wanted to obtain as much information as possible. I think he wanted to feel good with the decision. I have the impression that he did not want to be pushed in a certain direction. It speaks for him that he took the time and spoke to the right people. “
The trainer himself called with Tel to convince him of the change. “I think he’ll find a really great place for himself when it comes to his current career,” said Poseteclou, according to “The Athletic”, at the start of Tel at the Spurs. “He obviously wants to play and we have already shown that you get a chance here regardless of age. Our style of play would be like him and with what we have in the next few months and, which is even more important, what we build afterwards, I thought that it would go perfectly with his next step. ”Tottenham pays a rental fee from up to the end of the season For 10 million euros for Tel. As a purchase option, the clubs are said to have agreed on an amount of 55 million euros.
The first possible appearance of Tels for Tottenham could take place on Thursday in a not unimportant encounter: The Spurs must exist in the semi-final second leg of the EFL Cup against Liverpool and bring a 1-0 lead out of the first leg.
