Italian managerial legend Fabio Capello recently shared his thoughts on the return of former AC Milan star, who has completed a betting ban. Capello expressed his views on the player's comeback, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for him.
Newcastle United are going to get a major boost through a returning first team star.AdvertisementAdvertisement“His return was crucial," Capello told told Gazzetta about Tonali’s international displays this break.
"With him, Frattesi and Ricci, the midfield is more dynamic. We would have needed this midfielder at the Euros because Jorginho lacked the required intensity."
“If the center forward doesn’t score many goals, it’s essential that he’s involved in the attacks and creates space for his team-mates,” he added.
“In this case, if you have wingers who play close to him or central midfielders who are dangerous with late runs, you can overcome the lack of a proper hitman as a center forward.
“(Mateo) Retegui was highly involved on Friday. He didn’t score, but he was crucial to scoring the second goal with the assist for Frattesi and, on other occasions, creating space for his team-mates. Italy deservedly beat France and made no errors.”
