Press conference – Tonali: “We must enter the field without thinking about the draw”

AC Milan's midfielder, Sandro Tonali, spoke to the media in a press conference in view of the Champions League group stage game against RB Salzburg tomorrow night at the San Siro:

"Pioli's renewal? We congratulated him, he deserves it. We also worked on the match we have to enter the field without thinking about a draw, it's difficult but we have to understand that we have to win."

From the preliminaries with Shamrock in the Europa League to the dream of the round of 16 in the Champions League...

"I think it is a path that we deserve and that represents all of us in these years that we have spent together. We started from the Europa League preliminaries and went up to here. We know that we are in an important moment of the season and that it gives us the opportunity to improve and reach the first goal of the season."

Are you afraid of RB Salzburg?

"Before this match you don't have to be afraid. Just that there is pressure and we know that Salzburg is a very strong team with precise characteristics. We have worked a lot on them and on ourselves. Fear must be left aside. Attention concentration and clarity must be put in place."

What went wrong against Torino?

"A bad evening can happen and it happened that we didn't know how to manage the moments of the match, especially after the first goal. As we have shown especially after Napoli, we have to know how to react to defeats."

Tonali on preparing for the game against RB Salzburg tomorrow:

"It is not just me who dreams of experiencing these emotions tomorrow but the whole team. We know how important tomorrow's match is. Last year, we were unable to get through and this year we are working to be able to achieve this goal. We will play with a lot of desire and emotions."
