The pressure here is different; the pressure here is from the last two seasons, and I want to help all the player for play the best football for us, not just in game but every training because we have to train well to win every game. “And for now I don’t feel this pressure I don’t feel this pressure because I think it’s early, but at the same time I think the football now is different. You know, every season is more high; every year is not worse, but it’s more more”"The pressure here is different"Sandro Tonali discusses being Spurs' record signing 💰 pic.twitter.com/JpAgzzxae1— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 27, 2026Tonali has more to come for SpursThe best is still to come from Tonali, who De Zerbi described as better than he imagined following his move.De Zerbi has confirmed that the Italian is still not at his best physically and work is being done to get him into top condition.Should Tonali reach those conditions, the expectation is that his performances will naturally improve.However, up next for the record signing is a clash against his former side Newcastle United, and the expectation is that he puts up a show when they come visiting Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.READ MORE: Roberto De Zerbi reveals five things Omar Marmoush will bring to TottenhamThe post ‘The pressure here is different’ – £100m Sandro Tonali is ready for the Tottenham challenge appeared first on Spurs Web.
