Tuchel reprimands Tel – and asks for patience
Mathys Tel was well on his way to becoming a super joker. But he hasn’t scored a goal since the beginning of October. What’s wrong with the young Frenchman? “He was an extremely important factor,” said coach Thomas Tuchel before the Champions League game at Lazio Rome on Wednesday (9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online), “but he has lost a bit of his momentum and is no longer the same aggressive in the box when he comes in. He no longer has the absolute will and drive towards the goal.”
But why? “It has to do with self-confidence,” said Tuchel, “but maybe it’s also the case that after such a phase in which you score a lot of decisive goals, you’re asking too much of yourself.” Tuchel reported that things were “getting better again in training, he was scoring more again.” In general, it is “a completely normal process” for a guy “as young” as 18-year-old Tel to go through “a trough.”
His advice: “He must embrace every minute as if it were his first and last.” Tuchel promised: “We won’t stop trusting him. We need this carefree attitude and the desire to do something in ten minutes.”
