AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali believes that the win against Hellas Verona tonight is not far off the importance of the victory back in May in the same fixture.
Milan were far from at their best on the night as they missed chances and generally did not exert much control on the fixture as Salvatore Bocchetti’s Verona rallied well in his first game in charge of the club.

After Miguel Veloso and Matteo Gabbia each put the ball into their own net in the first half it was Tonali that ended up being the man of the moment again in Verona as he sidefooted a through ball from Ante Rebic past Montipo to seal a late win.
Tonali was the MVP of Verona-Milan after his heroics, and he was interviewed by DAZN after the match at the Bentegodi, reflecting on the performance and the magnitude of the three points with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
Winning games like this, how much weight does it have?
“I think it weighs a lot, we already know it from last season. We know it has a very important value for us, we wanted to continue to do well away. We are happy that even during the matches we are not at our best we are able to bring home the victory.”
Pioli was about to bring you off before your goal, had you seen it?
“I hadn’t seen it, better this way. I’m very happy. We are happy for all our fans who always come away too, they give us an incredible hand for these matches.”
Another goal at the Bentegodi after the double in May…
“In May it was slightly different, we were in a rush that led us towards the Scudetto. The importance of today’s victory is not very far from that. A victory that weighs a lot for us and for our morale.”
