Tonelli wants more: “Let’s work hard to keep improving”

Sampdoria v Napoli was a special match for Lorenzo Tonelli, who only made the journey north from Naples to Genoa in the summer. Yet there were no signs of nerves on the Italian’s part on Sunday night, as he helped the Blucerchiati to a stunning 3-0 win over Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

“It was a wonderful game,” said Tonelli after the match. “I’m delighted that we kept a clean sheet. This is a great starting point. It was a unique evening for me as I left a lot of friends behind at Napoli, but I’m happy to have made my debut and helped my new team-mates secure such an important win. We still have plenty of room for improvement – we’ll use the international break to keep working hard.”
