Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali spoke with RaiSport on his time with the Azzurri and comparisons with Pirlo.
"It doesn't bother me to be compared to Pirlo, but I believe that we are very different because he had an indescribable technique and quality. I consider myself more like Gattuso but more technical. He was always my idol."
"I am very happy to be part of this group. With Mancini, I play in a different way than I do in Serie A and for me that's a great step forward. I am 100% available for the coach. If it happens that I need to enter the pitch in Verratti's place, I'll do it with the same spirit that I've always had."
"I really love President Cellino and he thinks very highly of me. He's a great person and I hope to follow a great path with him. After the Fiorentina match he said that he wouldn't sell me for 300 million euros, but that doesn't scare me, even if it's really a lot of money. I am confident in what we'll do this year. For now, I don't think about the market. I only want to save Brescia from relegation."
