Sandro Tonali joined Tottenham as part of a big-money deal in the summer transfer window, becoming the most expensive player in Italian football history. But the start to the season hasnโt been bright at all, as Spurs are yet to win a single league game.
Before their 3-2 loss to Aston Villa, Roberto De Zerbiโs side had not even scored a single goal, despite having spent a huge amount of money in the summer.
Tonali has been a part of the mess but he spoke to the press before Italyโs game against Turkey. He was asked about the supposed chaos at Tottenham but the midfielder expressed belief that things are promising and theyโre creating enough to win games.
He said โ via Calciomercato: โFootball is very strange; in ten days, everything can change from negative to positive. I would classify our current situation as a club as negative in terms of results but positive for football.โ
He also revealed that Tottenham are doing well and the goals should come soon.
โWeโre having fun and creating chances. If you donโt score in football, you lose. Weโre not in the doldrums; weโre alive and well, and weโre positive.โ
Within that, he also urged everyone to have patience with not just Tottenham but with the national team too.
โWe know the team is very strong. Here in the national team, itโs different; itโs a very new and young group; weโve practically never played together. We just have to wait.โ
The ex-Milan man does make a significant point. In several games, Tottenham have found themselves in very promising positions and had a very good first-half against both Newcastle United and Villa. Against Nottingham Forest and Everton too, they missed chances and the same was true in the league Cup game against Liverpool.
