Sandro Tonali (25 years) is demonstrating in the Premier league that during all the time he has stopped playing football for his sanction for a betting issue he did not forget to play the ball. Not much less. The total money that Tonali opted exceeded 100,000 euros and was sanctioned almost a year.
The Italian returned to the playing land on August 28 and as expected, it cost him to start. However, little by little it has been growing, just like the team. The Newcastle, third in the table with 66 points in the absence of two days to be played, is closer than ever to ensure that in St James' Park the hymn of the Champions League sounds again.
Something unthinkable without Alexander Isak, author of 23 goals and 6 assists in 33 games. But if the Swedish shines so much it is because behind it has an amazing machine room. Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton (now injured) and Tonali play and play. They have fun and have fun to fans.

The two Brazilians are claw, impetus, intensity and all my heart. Tonali is that, together with class and tempo. In Italy it has always been compared to Pirlo for its physical resemblance, but also for ball handling. Distribute, order, send, run from one place to another, attend, goals brand and make all his teammates better. It is the compass of a team that right now seems able to win anyone. He has a contract until 2028 and despite the sanction, the 64 million that Milan paid for his services seems to be left in little. Manchester United, City and Juventus go crazy to get him, but we will see if the Uracas let him leave or not.
This season has played 43 games, has scored 6 goals and has given 3 assists, being key to the position that the team occupies in the table and for the conquest of the first title in 56 years of the club. In addition, it is one of the 5 midfielders who earn the most duels. Something that has an incalculable merit taking into account that this is not its main virtue.
