Out of action due to the punishment imposed on him for violating betting rules, o Sandro Tonali he is forced away from his Newcastle commitments and is in Italy, speaking to schoolchildren about gambling.

The 24-year-old midfielder admitted it was a big mistake for him to go so long without speaking up and seeking help, making it clear that anyone facing a similar problem should be open to receiving help.

“Maybe some of you here are betting and don’t talk about it, a lot of times we keep to ourselves. Betting with a very large salary and gambling is a big risk. I made a big mistake hiding and not talking about it. When you can’t stop yourself, others can help you. With gambling you risk friendships, relationships, your job.

Hiding behind the problem is never the solution. You have to talk and be open to receiving help. My greatest gain is not the contracts of millions, but that I am surrounded by people who love me and show it to me every day”characteristically stated the Tonally.
