“Just give me a call”: ex-Bayern player shares Kane’s advice | OneFootball

Harry Kane impresses not only on the pitch, but also off it. The English striker proves to be a strong character—and continues to stand by a former teammate.

Mathys Tel, who made a permanent move from Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, is still struggling to adapt on the sporting front. After seven Premier League matches, the 20-year-old has only scored one goal and has started in the lineup just twice so far. Most recently, he was only brought on in the final minutes against Burnley. As he revealed to the Telegraph, he is receiving support from his old teammate Harry Kane—who is helping him with impressive openness.

“Harry Kane has helped me a lot. Four days ago, he sent me a voice message and we talked about how I can improve—finishing, positioning in the penalty area,” the young striker explained. “He said: ‘If you want to call me, just call me. We’ll talk about it and find the best way for you together.’”

Kane taking this time means a lot to the young talent: “It’s great because he takes the time to talk to me. To explain how I can get better. For me, he’s the best striker in the world—and now he’s already scored 21 goals in 13 games. And it’s only October!”

Major setback for Mathys Tel

Things haven’t been going smoothly for the newcomer so far. Right at the start of the season, he had to deal with a major setback: Tottenham did not register him for the Champions League, meaning he is completely absent from the official squad for the competition.

The competition in attack is fierce, and coach Thomas Frank has so far preferred more experienced options. In the first competitive matches, the former Bayern pro mostly only made brief substitute appearances. That hurts—especially since the move to London was supposed to be the next step in his career.

Nevertheless, the striker isn’t giving up. He’s receiving support not only from the coaching staff, but especially from Kane: “He said: ‘Whenever you want, call me or text me, and we’ll talk. If you want to talk about football, great. If not, that’s fine too. If you want to talk about life—I’m always here for you.’ He’s a really great guy.”
