Style of play
Tellez has been said by soccer journalist Jon Arnold to possess the “mentality and physical skills needed to play as a defensive midfielder” but more than that, has developed into a forward-thinking player as well due to his “abilities to turn in tight spaces or pull a trick out of his bag to dribble past defenders”.[5]
