Sandro Tonali is feeling to be playing at a higher level at Milan than at his previous club but insists it’s nothing that he cannot manage.

Sandro Tonali was handed his league debut by Stefano Pioli for his new team during AC Milan’s 2-0 win over Bologna.

The highly-rated midfielder joined the Rossoneri only this month on a season-long loan reportedly worth €10 million from Brescia.

A fan of the club since his childhood days, the 20-year old has previously revealed that he received offers from several teams this summer but ignored them all once Milan came calling.

The Italian featured for under 20 minutes of Monday night’s match at San Siro after coming off the bench to replace Franck Kessie at minute 77.

“Now the dream has become reality but in a few days there’s another match and we are focused on doing well. It’s nice to live the dream but we must be careful about the many matches we have to play,” Tonali said after the full-time whistle, as per Football Italia.

“I didn’t find any difficulties, but the level has increased. It’s nice to play with this group, we’re a young team who want to win and we proved it today.”
