The “forbidden” dream of Juventus e di Luciano Spalletti for his midfield: Sandro Tonali talks about Newcastle, about the affection he feels for the environment and the coach, and they are words of love that can also sound like a recognition before a possible farewell in the future. For now the present says black and white but of England, also because the club has monstrous economic strength and never sells out of necessity. “Our fans are very affectionate towards everyone, but with me there is something more. I recognize this and feel it from them. And I will always recognize this, because it is difficult for such a bond to be created between a player and the fans without having ever done anything, basically I just play football. I was and continue to be amazed at all the love I receive“. The Italian a Newcastle has almost found a second home, also thanks to the bond with the Magpies fans who nicknamed him “The Midfielder Maestro“. “Yes, many are calling me that. I can’t change it, all the people here are calling me that“, he tells Sky Sport the former Rossoneri. Who never felt judged after the betting case: “Too often we make judgments before we know a person and we hurt them. The line between good and evil is very thin, but Newcastle fans never cross it. They see, understand, reason, but they don’t judge. And their behavior taught me a lot. It’s something I try to do in my life now too. I’m careful not to speak or make judgments. Everyone can make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean anyone can judge. I will always give credit to the Newcastle fans, if I think like this today it’s because they did it to me“.
Tonali’s words
The relationship established with is also strong Eddie Howe: “In addition to his qualities as a coach and what he gave me on the pitch, he gave me a lot as a person – he reveals Tonali –. I will certainly always remember it fondly and I think it will be part of my life in the future too. In these three years together he helped me a lot, both on and off the pitch, and he still continues to do so today. He is a very good person, it is no coincidence that he is respected by everyone here in Newcastle, fans and players“. A joke instead Nick Woltemadewhich is taking up the legacy of Isak: “He is a very nice boy, always smiling and happy. He fit in perfectly straight away, but here we don’t have a complicated group, we are very open with everyone, especially at the beginning when a new player arrives. He has fitted in great, both on and off the pitch, he is helping us every game. He’s a bit of a peculiar guy, he said he brought friends from Germany, he dresses differently every day and is always laughing, but he’s really nice and we have a lot of fun with him“.
