In the third round of the Premier League held this morning, Newcastle drew 0-0 with Leeds United away. Newcastle midfielder Tonali was interviewed after the game.
Tonali was substituted with a shoulder injury in the last round of Premier League, but continued to start this round. Tonali said first: "I'm in good health, I work 10 hours a day at the training ground. I want to thank the physiotherapist, the staff, and my wife - because she can only be alone at home."
Tonali continued: "This week was tough, but the team did a good job. The game was tough, if you played here, you know it was not an easy game. But we dominated the game and played very well."
Newcastle had a 57% possession rate in this game, but the team only had two shots. Tonali said: "We need to do better in the last 25 meters of the frontcourt because we need to score goals. We were worthy of 3 points, and we need to continue working hard." Newcastle has signed new striker Walter Mard, which can improve the team's attack power in the future.
In the first three rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle drew 2 and lost 1. At the end, Tonali said: "We have faced Villa, Liverpool, Leeds United. The game is not easy, but we have taken the initiative in these 3 games. I am happy about the performance of each game, but you can't win every game, which is normal. We need to do more work and keep working hard because this is the Premier League."
