“The most difficult situation may be yet to come, but Tonali knows he has the support of the top management and the fans, and he is happy with that, especially the fans, who are the most important. Of course Tonali wants to play, you can see that in training, I put him in at the right time and he is doing very well. I hope this is a step forward for Tonali. You can’t see his emotions on the surface, but you know what he feels in his heart. Tonali has kept it as personal as possible.”
