TRIBUNJOGJA.COM – Sandro Tonali revealed Gigio Donnarumma texted him after AC Milan won the title on Sunday.
The Rossoneri have won Scudetto their 19th in history, the first in 11 years.
Sandro Tonali is one of Milan’s key players and made it into the Team of the Season.
The 22-year-old scored five goals, including the winner against Lazio in April.
He has joined Rossoneri permanently in the summer after a disappointing loan spell in 2020-21.
“I feel different from the start of the season, I have a different understanding with my team-mates and it’s less afraid to take risks, I’m more free,” he told The Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Maldini called me to say: ‘Don’t worry, now you are a Milan player for the second time.’ Thanks to my agents who did everything they could to fulfill my wish and I also want to thank (Brescia President Massimo) Cellino because he kept his word. He says he wants me to be happy and my happiness is here.
“When we win, everything changes. Maybe the bond with the shirt is even stronger,” continued the Italian midfielder.
“The game at Reggio Emilia was amazing, but I realized what we had done when we arrived at Casa Milan. I see the emotion in people’s eyes, it’s amazing.
“I said to myself: ‘I’m not going to pick up my phone to take a picture, I want to live this moment and keep it with me forever.
