Sandro Tonali Official

i like that he is defence-first mentality, though his super power is quick passes forwards. sad to say that after peak eriksen, our midfield quality has never been the same until now.
 
Now most have seen him play, I wonder if people see now that he's not some Pirlo conductor regen type of player. He doesn't really play longer passes even when the options are on, he can drive, pass short to mid distance, tackle. All to a a very high level. People were expecting him to be the metronome but that's never been how he plays.

Him and Fernandez with Bergvall in front would be interesting up until reinforcements arrive.

Until reinforcements arrive? Which ones do you have in mind? Because for now - at least until Xavi and/or Deki is back - Tonali, Fernandes, Bergvall would be my preferred combination in midfield.

Get the ball, gives the ball, manages the tempo, I think a metronome would be a good comparison given his pre season TBH. Did anyone say he was like Pirlo?

Before he signed people were saying he was a player that would hit long diagonals and balls over the top. But that's never been his game.
