Twelve months ago, AC Milan were fighting for Champions League qualification and now the Scudetto is the goal. The Rossoneri’s growth is there for everyone to see, but Sandro Tonali’s growth makes it even more clear.
As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, it’s Tonali’s birthday today and he will be looking to crown it with a win against Hellas Verona tonight. A win would get Milan even closer to the Scudetto, currently one point behind Inter (who beat Empoli on Friday).
Twelve months can make a huge difference and that is certainly true in Milan’s case, but also in Tonali’s. As stated in the article, the midfielder has become a true leader of the team after what was an average first season at the club.
His growth is in line with that of Milan, who were fighting for a ticket to the Champions League at this stage last season, but now find themselves in the Scudetto race. There is certainly a correlation between the two and hopefully, Tonali will use his wish wisely today.
