After dinner, Tang Long's wife tidied up the dishes in the kitchen, while their little daughter played with the LEGO set Tang Long had given her outside the yard. Tang Long and Ranocchia started chatting idly in the living room.
Being professional players, the conversation quickly turned from life in general to football.
"I feel like during today's training, that Bony was always giving me weird looks, and during the match, he deliberately bumped into me hard," Tang Long said.
Ranocchia hummed in agreement, and they delved into the topic.
"I can understand Bony's feelings. He was supposed to be the team's second striker, but with Agüero injured and Iheanacho not in form, Pellegrini pushed you to the frontline for goals, leaving Bony on the bench. Who wouldn't be upset?"
Tang Long said that Bony seemed similar to the past Milner, both of whom were unfriendly to him because their positions were threatened.
Ranocchia nodded slightly but then shook his head gently.
