Tottenham will enjoy what French media are saying about Mathys Tel, but not Wilson Odobert

Wait 5 sec.

One French outlet has given contrasting appraisals of Tottenham duo Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert following France Under-21’s dramatic win over Denmark in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship quarterfinal.Both Tottenham Hotspur players started for the French against the Danes on Sunday, with Odobert playing on the right and Tel leading the line.Fresh from completing a permanent move to Tottenham, Tel netted the match-winner in the dying stages of the game with a lovely curled effort.The strike came in the 85th minute, just a minute after France had scored an equaliser to make it 2-2, thus completing a dramatic turnaround to seal a place in the final four of the competition.Jermain Defoe said that Tel’s finish was Thierry Henry-esque and suggested that it may be a sign of things to come for Tottenham next season.(Credit: @reclusemedia / Instagram)Tottenham fans will love the latest Mathys Tel reviewMaxifoot have lavished praise on the 20-year-old for his performance in the quarterfinal, pointing out how he threatened to find the back of the net all game.The outlet spoke highly of the Spurs man’s perseverance and concluded that his match-winner was well-deserved.They gave Tel a rating of 6.5 and wrote about the forward: “The French U21 centre-forward had one merit: he didn’t give up! Faced with the physical Danish defence, the Tottenham player was generally not found by his teammates. “However, the former Munich player was dangerous with a close-range shot and then a volley was saved by Jungdal. He thought he had scored in the second half, but Lepenant was flagged offside by VAR for this action.“But ultimately, at the end of the match, the ex-Rennais player was the hero with the winning goal from a curling shot. A well-deserved reward for his efforts.”Wilson Odobert’s performance labelled ‘disappointing’However, Tel’s Tottenham teammate, Wilson Odobert, failed to produce too much of note during the game and struggled to do what he is known for: going past defenders and delivering dangerous balls into the box.Maxifoot referred to the winger’s performance as ‘disappointing’ and criticised the youngster for constantly losing possession.They handed Odobert a rating of just 3/10 and wrote: “A disappointing performance for the Tottenham winger. On the right side, the young talent of the French team was not successful in his individual attempts by multiplying failures.“Too imprecise, he lost numerous balls and never seemed able to make the difference in the penalty area, with the exception of a long-range shot pushed away by the goalkeeper.”READ MORE: Thomas Frank may replace Wilson Odobert with £25m winger he is ‘crazy’ aboutThe post Tottenham will enjoy what French media are saying about Mathys Tel, but not Wilson Odobert appeared first on Spurs Web.
