Sandro Tonali Scouting Report At Inter Milan 2019/20 – Tactical Analysis

Brescia Calcio have dropped their demands for star player Sandro Tonali according to a report from Italian football journalist and transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla.

Brescia had previously been demanding €50 million for the highly-rated Italian national team midfielder, but Pedulla claims that La Rondinelle have dropped their demands to somewhere between €30-40 million for the promising youngster.

That is the reason why Inter have slowed down in their pursuit of Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla, who Lazio now appear closest to signing.

This season Tonali, who is under contract with Brescia until the end of next season, missed only three Serie A matches because of an injury and too many yellow cards.

In this Sandro Tonali scout report, we will take a closer look at Tonali´s abilities.

In this formation, Tonali plays as the single pivot in front of the defensive line and is responsible for the defensive work of the midfield as well as for the build-up play.

With him being the only pivot in López´s lineup, the scenario of him getting involved in the team’s build-up does not seem to be a surprise and unfamiliar since it has occurred since last season.

During the process, both full-backs tend to stay deep with the two centre-backs to offer two available passing options and allow them to match the number of opposition’s players, therefore, preventing them from at least losing the numerical advantage.
