Hasan Salihamidzic speaks in the highest tones from Mathys Tel. The FC Bayern sports director even rates the 17-year-old Frenchman as the greatest offensive talent that Europe has to offer. Tel scored his first Bundesliga goal against Stuttgart.

FC Bayern is maintaining the communication course at Mathys Tel: on Sunday, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic praised the youngster beyond measure in the Sport1 double pass. Salihamidzic used a language of superlatives, like head coach Julian Nagelsmann before him.

According to Salihamidzic, Tel is "the best talent in Europe in this position" and has "the potential and the instinct to become a big one". Even before the start of the season, head coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke equally enthusiastically about the 17-year-old, enthusing that Tel was able to score 40 goals in one season.

The Bavarians seem to have decided not to keep the expectations of the youngster low, but to talk to him strongly. It remains to be seen whether this is good for a 17-year-old teenager. From a sporting point of view, the Frenchman seems to respond: Tel scored his first Bundesliga goal against VfB Stuttgart, after scoring for his new club in the DFB Cup. But it is also clear that there will be phases in which Tel does not play so lightly - and then hopefully FC Bayern will not deal with the exceptional talent on their own feet.
