Sandro Tonali was decisive during AC Milan’s dramatic win against Spezia at San Siro on Saturday night and now he has a milestone in his sights.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) recalls how there was a lot of talk about Olivier Giroud’s splendid acrobatic winning goal after the 2-1 win against the Ligurians, but ignoring Tonali’s beautiful assist would be wrong.
The young Rossoneri midfielder is growing from all points of view, becoming the engine of Stefano Pioli’s midfield alongside Ismael Bennacer. Pioli has always stressed that Tonali is capable of becoming a player who can play as a regista, as a box-to-box midfielder or even as a playmaker.
Indeed, Tonali’s tactical evolution has led him to become a sort of ‘full-fledged player’ in his role and for this reason Pioli continues to rely on him in the middle of the field. Tomorrow against Cremonese, Tonali will return to the starting XI and will reach a very important personal milstone, namely that of 100 appearances with the Milan shirt.
For an AC Milan fan like him it will certainly be a very special moment, which he hopes will be celebrated in the best way, which would be with three points to keep the pressure on Napoli.
