Shearergol Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Played football tonight with lots of other team’s fans (spurs, Chelsea, arsenal, man united mainly). They all think Tonali is absolutely shite and lazy. He’s played 4 games FFS, against 4 of the best teams in the league. In his first ever season away from Italy. Wankers, all of them.

timeEd32 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 From: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2023/09/18/sandro-tomali-newcastle-champions-league-milan-return/ Quote But there have been issues to resolve, with the Italian’s performance against Brighton and an apparent failure to understand his role in the side, exposing a language barrier problem. In short, Tonali had failed to absorb all the necessary information from the coaching staff and seemed confused about his positional responsibilities in the centre of midfield, often playing too far forward, which left the defence exposed. It was something that hurt the team in one of their worst collective performances for months and it was telling that Tonali did not start the home win over Brentford last weekend. On the face of things, that was done in order to protect the 23-year-old after he picked up a slight injury problem while away on international duty last week. Keeping him on the bench on Saturday evening would also mean he was fresh for his return to face his former club in the San Siro. However, Newcastle are also trying to work out the best way to communicate with the player admitting Tonali’s lack of English was a complication rather than just an inconvenience. Howe had initially been reluctant to use an interpreter to convey his messages to Tonali as he believes that slows the player’s progress learning English. But after the Brighton defeat, it became clear they needed someone to translate tactical messages, usually the day before a game, but possibly in the dressing room before a match too.

Yorkie Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Always a potential obstacle but he's hardly the first player to enter the league without knowing the language. He'll learn and eventually adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
