Original Title: Tonali “First 6 months, my mind was telling me: ‘Sandro, you didn’t make a mistake.’ If I lost my job and my family, I would immediately realize I made a mistake. But no one took my salary, they just suspended my job. It’s hard to make someone understand their mistake when they have everything.”


“I worked for a year with the psychologist, meeting him 4 times a week. When I started, it wasn’t easy: I couldn’t take medication because of anti-doping rules. It’s hard to make someone understand their mistake when they have no basis for it because they already have everything.”

“I was lucky to be in England. I lived 7 months without a phone, without a tablet. I only watched TV for the matches and movies. I didn’t watch the news, no updates came to me. Not looking at social media and TV completely lightened me. I have no idea what happened during those months, and I don’t care, that’s the beauty. I know I made a mistake, I know I paid for it, and I worked to be a better man.”
