Tonali backs Tottenham to turn poor start around
Sandro Tonali has backed Tottenham to improve despite their winless start to the Premier League season. The midfielder said the team is creating chances and enjoying its football, even though results have been disappointing. He also asked for patience with Italy's new-look national side.
Tonali moved to Tottenham in the summer for a fee that made him the most expensive Italian footballer ever. Spurs have still not won a Premier League match this season, and before losing 3-2 to Aston Villa they had failed to score in the league despite heavy investment.
Speaking before Italy faced Turkey, Tonali described the club's results as poor but its performances as encouraging. He pointed to chance creation and enjoyment, and asked for patience with both Tottenham and a young Italy side that has barely played together.
Tonali's remarks may influence how Tottenham supporters and players process a difficult start, potentially encouraging patience rather than immediate panic. They could also shape discussion around Italy's rebuilt squad, where newer players may need time to gel. For fans and media, the story may keep attention on performance signs, not just results, while the club's commercial and sporting environment could feel calmer if results improve.
