He's going to be a crucial player for opening up chances for his teammates & causing problems to the opposition defense.

We have one hell of a player in our hands who definitely raises our floor and if he develops as expected, raises the ceiling too

Postecoglou also uses rotations and interchanges to confuse the opposition and create pockets of space, & Mathys Tel's ability to interchange smartly would make him a great fit within this system.

And I'd also expect him to play as a winger on both sides too, & as a winger, he excels in 1v1, beating defenders with speed and movement to cross the ball into the box, or carry into the box

Obviously he's going to get game time as a ST in the remainder of the season & if he plays as a ST, Tel makes use of his pace and movement to stretch defenses and create opportunities for himself and others.

The system demands such versatility, that is, the ability to use both feet to control and pass, which is advantageous for Tel and can be counted on in any situation

Postecoglou's tactics also encourages attacking the half-space, & that is an area where Tel will flourish. He is comfortable receiving the ball in compact areas and using his pace and agility to evade defensive pressure.

With Postecoglou's possession-based style, often using a 2-3-5 in settled play, and creating numerical superiority in the midfield and fast transition moments, Tel's dynamism would fit within this situations

Mathys Tel under Postecoglou is going to be an exciting prospect to watch.
His versatility and skills could make a world of difference to the team

When it comes to his potential, Tel has a very high ceiling, and with the right development and coaching, he could well become one of the best players of his generation

Weakness-wise, Tel still needs some improvement on the consistency of his finishing, as under pressure he can miss easy chances. Another aspect would be improving his final ball and decision-making in the final third, as he sometimes fails to make the right pass or decision

Tel is also a hard worker with fantastic work ethic; he will chase defenders & lose balls and do his bit to win the ball back for his team.

- Dribbling is Tel's biggest attribute; he can easily get past defenders using his quick feet and agility.

He also possesses decent finishing, always making him a threat near goal.

Tel is very smart with his movement, always seeking ways to make space and opportunities for himself and his teammates.

He has quite a few strengths, but there are a couple of areas where he excels.

In playing style, Tel is somewhat of a hybrid. He can play up front, on the left or right wing, and is equally able to get tight and receive the ball in small spaces or play off the shoulder of the last man. He is a great combination player, so a real bonus in transition play.

His ambidexterity is one big advantage for him, as it makes it tough for defenders to mark him; he controls, passes, and shoots perfectly well with both feet.

Mathys Tel no doubt is an extremely gifted young player who can play across various positions, making him an asset who gives any team great versatility. With explosive pace, top technical ability, and great physical strength, he has some dimensions to his game
