Thomas Frank praised his Tottenham team for their character and cohesion after a 2-1 win against Leeds United, highlighting Mathys Tel's emotional goal and the team's resilience despite injuries, emphasizing their strong start to the season and the importance of mentality and teamwork.
Mathys Tel, a 20-year-old forward, has transferred from Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur after a successful loan spell, with Bayern receiving around €35 million plus €10 million from his loan, as part of Bayern's summer transfer strategy.
Tottenham Hotspur are close to signing Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich for around £30m, after a loan spell that helped him develop. The deal reflects Bayern's desire to offload him and Spurs' interest in his potential, with an agreement expected soon.
Bayern Munich's dominant 4-0 win against Preußen Münster in the DFB-Pokal showcased their improved approach, with a better balance between defense and high press. Mathys Tel stood out as an intelligent and influential player, contributing to three goals and displaying exceptional skills. Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz impressed with his ball-playing abilities, while Johannes Schenk, on loan from Bayern, showcased his talent with impressive saves. The absence of traditional defenders in Bayern's lineup worked well, but may not be suitable against stronger opponents. Overall, the victory was a positive change for Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Mathys Tel impressed with his goal-scoring performance, proving his talent and the team's decision not to loan him out. Bayern's decision to loan out Josip Stanišić may come back to haunt them, as defensive depth was lacking. The team's slow passing and lack of speed hindered their ability to break down opponents. Despite facing a tough opponent, this win gives both teams confidence moving forward.
