Giovane Élber sat in the stands alongside other club legends during FC Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win in the top Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. The ex-Bayern striker sees the record champions’ offensive in a very good position for the future.
Especially with a young offensive duo, Élber gets enthusiastic when he takes a look at the current FC Bayern squad. When asked which Bayern talent he believed capable of a world career, the Brazilian had a clear answer in an interview with “kicker”.
“Of course Jamal Musiala, who has already proven that he is a world-class player,” Élber told the Monday edition of the sports magazine.
When asked by the “kicker”, however, the 50-year-old brought a name into play. “Yes, Mathys Tel. The boy is only 17 and also already world class,” said Élber: “I hadn’t heard the name before and that’s why I watched videos about him. The first impression was not deceptive.”
From day one, Tel was “self-confident,” said Élber about Tel: “He didn’t show any false respect for the big FC Bayern and played great. An outstanding player who will make it big.”
Top talent Mathys Tel is in a tricky situation at FC Bayern
Élber’s assessment of Musiala after his outstanding performances in the first few weeks of the new season is hardly surprising. The fact that the Brazilian also believes Mathys Tel is capable of great things may surprise some fans.
Because the only 17-year-old Tel, who switched from Stades Rennes to FC Bayern in the summer for 20 million euros, is currently not getting beyond the reserve status. Trainer Julian Nagelsmann even preferred him to 33-year-old Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
The fact that “Choupo” played from the start in Bayern’s 5-0 win over Freiburg on Sunday and even made it 2-0 in the meantime shouldn’t have increased Tel’s chances of playing more minutes. sport.de grasped the tricky situation of Mathys Tel at FC Bayern before the Champions League game at Viktoria Pilsen last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski’s departure from FC Bayern to FC Barcelona does not worry Élber. With the signing of Sadio Mané from Liverpool FC, the Munich team did everything right from the point of view of their long-time attacker.
“An outstanding transfer. The boy has unbelievable power, doesn’t lose a ball, works for the team, is a goal threat,” said Élber.
