Sandro Tonali is aware that he made a mistake and now wants to cure his gambling addiction by seeing a therapist. The Corriere della Sera launched the rumour, revealing today the backstory of how the former AC Milan player reacted to the news of his involvement in the Turin prosecutor’s investigation into illegal betting. In recent days, the police raided Coverciano, during the national team’s meeting, to seize Tonali and former Roma player Nicolò Zaniolo’s phones. After a sleepless night in Florence, says Monica Colombo in the Corriere today, Tonali cried and vented his anger with his nearest and dearest. According to the story, the midfielder is well aware that he made a mistake and now has every intention of following the advice of those close to him and following a path of recovery with a professional.
While his entourage dismisses the whole affair as a ‘youthful mistake’, Tonali has reportedly already agreed to make himself available to the federation for a series of meetings with youngsters on how not to behave off the pitch. ‘He is scared, the blow was big,’ says those close to him, according to reports in the Corriere. Now the 23-year-old former AC Milan player, like the other players involved in the investigation into illegal betting, risks a disqualification ‘of no less than three years’, which would have serious consequences for his career. The player continues to assure that he did everything out of levity, not malice, and that he is ready to pay the consequences. In the meantime, Newcastle have maintained the utmost secrecy about the affair, with coach Eddie Howe expecting Tonali in England to embrace him and help him through his difficult time.
