Mathys Tel Eyes Tottenham Penalty Redemption After Super Cup Miss With Unwavering Confidence

Mathys Tel, a promising young talent with Tottenham Hotspur, is determined to turn his recent Super Cup penalty miss into a show of resilience. After joining Spurs permanently from Bayern Munich this summer, Tel faced criticism for his performance in the recent match.
Overcoming Super Cup Setback
During the Super Cup, Mathys Tel missed a penalty, joining teammate Micky van de Ven, whose effort was also saved. Despite the disappointment, Tel quickly redeemed himself by scoring a penalty for the France Under-21 team just weeks later. They triumphed over the Faroe Islands with a convincing 6-0 victory.
Confidence in Future Penalty Takes
In the face of backlash, Tel expressed his unwavering confidence regarding future penalty opportunities. “I will take a penalty again,” he stated in a recent interview. He emphasized his readiness to step up if Spurs returns to the Super Cup next year.
Inspirational Figures
Tel draws inspiration from basketball legend Kobe Bryant. “Kobe was always about trying,” he mentioned. He believes that mistakes are integral to achieving success. “You need to try to have success. You are going to make mistakes to have success,” he explained.
Motivation from Exclusion
Despite being among six players excluded by manager Thomas Frank from Spurs’ Champions League squad, Tel is using this setback as motivation. He is determined to impress Frank during the league phase this autumn.
- Excluded players: Mathys Tel, Kota Takai, Yves Bissouma, among others.
- Emotionally impacted by Frank’s support after the Leeds game.
- Plans to showcase his skills to earn a spot in the Champions League squad.
Tel’s commitment to improving has only strengthened following this period of reflection. “Bad things help me more than good things to be better,” he said, demonstrating his growth mindset. The young forward’s resolve exemplifies his potential for success at Tottenham, both on the pitch and beyond.
