Julian Nagelsmann Surprised by Mathys Tel’s Absence from French National Team Selection

Present this Friday afternoon at a press conference on the eve of the clash against the Blues in Lyon (Saturday at 9 p.m.), German coach Julian Nagelsmann was surprised by the absence in Didier Deschamps’ selection of the young striker from Bayern Munich, Mathys Tel (18 years old): “It’s a shame that he wasn’t called up,” explained the former coach of the Bavarian club (2021-2023). He’s a great talent, his mentality is excellent. He is not a cutting edge attacker, not a classic attacking midfielder. We’ll see it very quickly with the A’s.” Tel was also not selected by Thierry Henry in his under-23 list during this international break.

Questioned at the same time about the performances of Dayot Upamecano, the technician appeared confident about the French central defender’s ability to get out of his delicate period: “He may have some slumps but he is a great professional, a great player. He has a great personality. “He may need more stability at Bayern Munich but he’s really a very important player.”
