Source context
Mathys Tel has come under major criticism after a poor start to the season. The fans and the head coach have been frustrated with his ineffective displays in attack. Roberto De Zerbi had an animated argument with the French talent following the 0-0 draw against Everton at home earlier in the season, with the Spurs boss unhappy with the forward for not following his instructions after coming off the bench. The Italian then left Mathys Tel out of his matchday squad for the 3-2 home loss to Aston Villa before the September international break, which must have hampered his confidence levels.
