Young midfielder Sandro Tonali is currently flourishing in the Serie A this season. The 19 year old has drawn comparisons to Andrea Pirlo, whose career also started at Brescia. Tonali was a key player in Brescia’s promotion campaign last season, and his impressive performances have continued this term. The passing ability Tonali possesses allows him to dictate play, which is similar to Pirlo. However, whilst the teenager acknowledges the similarities with Pirlo, it is Gennaro Gattuso who he believes he shares more qualities with, because of the more robust side to his game.
