Newcastle is crazy counterattack! Champions League tickets + trophy wins, is Tonali Zhongyi s stay in the team the key?

The Premier League dark horse counterattack: Champions League qualification + trophy double harvest

This season, Newcastle United made efforts in the second half of this season, and rose to third place in the Premier League with a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, locking in the qualifying for the Champions League next season! What is even more exciting is that the team beat Liverpool 2-0 in the League Cup final, winning the first important event championship in nearly 60 years.

Eddie Howe's 433 system is created, 150 million European strikers Isaac (21 goals and 9 assists) lead the offensive line, and the midfield iron triangle Guimaraes, Jolinton and Tonali averaged over 110 square kilometers, becoming the most terrifying midfield combination in the Premier League.

Tonali rejected Real Madrid and Barcelona: The favor of knowing one's reputation is heavier than a high salary

When invitations from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus came one after another, the 25-year-old Tonali chose to respond with his actions: Newcastle did not give up at my lowest point, this is my home.

Controversial Transfer: Milan was banned for 10 months after joining for only 12 games due to a gambling case investigation in 2023.

Adversity support: During the suspension period, the club hired a psychological mentor for it, and fans spontaneously created a "waiting for Sandro" slogan, and Eddie Howe made a separate training plan every week.

Rebirth season: After the ban is lifted in 2024, he has made 8 goals in 41 games, with an average of 2.3 steals and 1.8 interceptions per game on the defensive end, and his pass success rate of 85% on the offensive end, and his value has rebounded to 45 million euros.

Barcelona technical director Mancini Jr. once personally lobbyed that Real Madrid coach Ancelotti listed him as the first choice for midfield recruitment, but Tonali was unmoved: I cherish the booing here more than the applause of the Bernabeu - that is a witness to my rebirth from the ashes.

From a problem boy to a symbol of loyalty

When Tonali used a 60-meter pass to assist in the League Cup final to secure the victory, in the stands at St. James Park, fans who had booed him due to a gambling storm sang:

Sandro, you are our rock! This Italian boy who almost ruined his career announced to the world with a renewal statement:

In the football world, what is more precious than talent is the hand that comes out at a low point; what is warmer than a wealthy family is the home that is willing to accompany you to start over again.

How far can Newcastle go next season in the Champions League? Does Tonali staying in the team mean that the era of "new wealthy families" has begun? Welcome to share your views in the comment section!
