Nasri gave Tang Long a sidelong glance, shrugged, and said nothing;
But he retorted mercilessly to Iheanacho, the black young lad!
"The coach wants us to play possession football, what the hell do you know!"
On the surface, Nasri was strictly implementing Pellegrini's tactics, but in reality, he was trying to flatter the Chilean old man~
Nasri is a slick character.
He knew that even if the ball was passed and Iheanacho headed it, Pellegrini wouldn't be pleased!
Because high crosses from the flanks are not part of the possession strategy, Pellegrini looks down on them.
The Chilean old man wants the ball to penetrate the box and play beautiful football.
Nasri had finally welcomed his first Champions League start of the season. You think he would go against the coach?
He's not that stupid!
Otherwise, what if he's not allowed to play in the next match?
As for what Tang Long said, the French star felt it had nothing to do with him!
