Former AC Milan coach Alberto Zaccheroni believes Sandro Tonali needs to play with more freedom.

Zaccheroni feels the midfielder has more to offer. He also believes the battle between Alessio Romagnoli and Fikayo Tomori won't be a problem for the Rossoneri.

He said, “Tonali is a complete midfielder. For now, it seems he has the handbrake pulled, but the jersey of Milan weighs more than any other. If I were Pioli, I would protect him, maybe without letting him read the newspapers' player ratings.

“As for Tomori, it is good to have strong players in the team. Right now, it's difficult to exclude him from the starting XI. He is aggressive and has a strong personality."
