Sandro Tonali is increasingly at the center of the Milan. The midfielder born in 2000, after a complicated first year in the Rossoneri, has revealed himself basic in the Pioli chessboard during last season, that of scudetto.
He was also praised Fabio Caressa. The well-known journalist and commentator, in a video on his channel YouTubefocused on the growth of the Rossoneri number 8.
Caressa: “Tonali is becoming one of the best midfielders in Europe”
“He is becoming one of the strongest midfielders in Europe, but he has a strange career: at first they said he looked like Pirlo, but in reality he has always said that he was never inspired by Pirlo, who was a completely different player. Tonali is a Gattuso with good feet, especially at the beginning of his career“.
Caressa: “Tonali guarantees several goals”
“But now he has developed two other features that have made him make the leap in quality. The first feature is the ability to enter without the ball. This thing the great mezzals have. The greatest incursor midfielders were also very important players: my friend Nicola Berti comes to mind, who was the raider par excellence“
“For a team to have 10 goals or more, not from a single midfielder but from all the men in the midfield, it makes all the difference in the world. Tonali has become one who guarantees you several goals per league, guarantees you the entry without the ball and especially now that many teams play man if not followed he is free. And then he is cold in front of goal and scores. It was two characteristics that it had before, but they were underdeveloped, and therefore make it even more important for the team”.
