“I stopped betting because of you”. Tonali talks about his factory visit during suspension

One of Newcastle's key players this season, Sandro Tonali, missed almost a year due to a suspension for breaching betting rules. However, during his disqualification, the Italian didn't waste time and instead set an example for others.

Details: As Tonali himself explained, he visited a factory that produces casings for gas pipes, where he met with workers. They told him that his example inspired them to quit betting.

Quote:

“In Newcastle, I visited a factory where they produce casings for ocean gas pipes. I went there because gambling is very common in England.

There were people who, several months after my disqualification, told me: 'I stopped betting because of what happened to you.' They had been compulsive gamblers for many years.

One Italian told me that a worker earns 2,000 pounds a month, but sometimes has to work overtime to support his family. He wastes too much money on gambling,” Tonali told the Italian publication La Repubblica.

Reminder: Previously, Tonali's agent ruled out the possibility of his client returning to Serie A
