The French media "L'Equipe" wrote an article praising Tottenham double stars Terre and Odo Bell for their outstanding performance in France U21.
French media reported that despite facing fierce forward competition at Tottenham, Matisse Tere and Wilson Odobel still showed leadership at the core of the youth attack in the French U21 echelon's 6-1 victory over Estonia.
When the club's striker competitors include Kolo Muani, Solanke, Richarlison, Kudus, Brennan Johnson, Harvey Simmons and Kulusevski, the two must seize every opportunity to show themselves. The 20-year-old Gemini, who is now accustomed to fighting for space among Tottenham stars, therefore cherishes every call-up to the National Youth Team.
Ter, who moved to Tottenham from Bayern on a permanent basis this summer for 40 million euros, is regarded by the French U21 coach as a "natural leader" and serves as the captain of this generation of players together with Zaire Emery. Against Estonia in Grenoble, he once again pointed the way for the team, and teammate Odo Bell followed suit, and it was the latter who assisted Ter's opening goal, which was Ter's fourth goal in three international games.
Teer first assisted Cisse to score in the 12th minute, then destroyed the opponent's morale through active running, and played a key role in the fourth goal. It was Odobel who scored the goal. Wearing the No. 10 shirt, Odobel's creativity exploded, and he scored twice with a bold volley. He scored two consecutive goals after defeating the Faroe Islands 6-0 last Friday. One of his two shots on the post also converted into Crupi's sixth goal for the team. "They have a good heart and a tacit understanding off the court, " the coach praised. "Matisse Terre is the driving force of the team, setting the benchmark with actions, while Odo Bell is the technical leader, showing energy through passing and running. Terre is better at attacking, while Odo Bell is good at both offense and defense. The elephants complement each other - both are leaders with great positive influence. "
When Zaire Emery was replaced in the 70th minute, Ter took over the captain's armband, and then passed it to Odobel when he came off the bench in the 82nd minute. This move has far-reaching implications. "I have known Terl since I was a child. Now that we are together at Tottenham, we have become even closer, and the tacit understanding on the court has come naturally," Odobel emphasized. When Terre talked about leadership a few days ago, he revealed: "Verbal leadership is an innate trait of mine. My early experiences have allowed me to grow rapidly." He also admitted that it is his dream to be selected for the adult team.
Although he did not enter the Champions League roster, he scored the first goal of the season for Tottenham before the break. This international match day continued the upward trend: "My start in the Premier League was difficult but precious. I am regaining my game instinct and walking on the right path." Odobel firmly believes that their national youth combination has not fully blossomed: "We will fully lead the team and lead the team forward by example."
