Tomori’s take on Italian football

Since his arrival in Italy, Fikayo has noticed some big differences between football in Serie A and how the game is played in PL. Fikayo Tomori said that in England it’s more like basketball. Everything is transparent, there is more intensity, much more happens reactively. In Italy, it’s more like American football. It’s like you have plays. When the ball is here, Tomori must be there. When the ball goes, Tomori knows to be two meters in that direction, or to look for that particular player.

In England it’s very far from the cuff and everything happens so fast. they can charge for one minute and the next time the ball rolls over their head and they have to run back 30 yards and then they’re on the attack again. According to Fikayo Tomori it looks more like OK, the ball is where his teammate is? Where is the opposition? If the ball goes over, he needs to be in a position where he can leave the attacker and get there, but if the ball gets to his feet, Tomori is in position to go press.
