“It's very unfair.” Deeney urges not to criticize Tel
With his move to Tottenham, Mathys Tel has managed to score only one goal in six matches. The Spurs fans expected more from him and began to criticize him. However, former Watford player Troy Deeney believes this criticism is misplaced.
Details: Deeney emphasized that Tel has spent too little time with the team to be comprehensively assessed.
Quote: “He is moving from one country to another, he's in London. I don't care what anyone says, there are distractions in London, as we all know. Right now, you're trying to settle into a team that's depleted and injury-prone. By the way, you're supposed to come into a team and sort it out, change it.
He hasn't played enough games to know who he is and what he is. That's why I think it's very unfair. You won't see his best qualities, maybe not even next season, but in the seasons to come. But they will have to build a foundation for him and around him,” Deeney said in an interview with talkSPORT.
Reminder: Previously, Bayern's sporting director explained why Tel moved to Tottenham.
