Tang Long is not a player who primarily focuses on scoring goals. In Pellegrini's tactical plans, he is mainly responsible for controlling the tempo and delivering threatening through balls.
This conclusion was reached after Pellegrini discussed with Tang Long's former coach, now England national team manager Mancini.
But surprisingly, he performed a hat-trick in the Manchester Derby and took home the match ball.
His phone exploded with calls, and messages poured in like snowflakes.
Most of them were from his former teammates at Inter Milan.
Apparently, even though Tang Long has left Serie A, many Serie A players are still watching globally-watched matches like the Manchester Derby.
Chiwo and Mancini also sent congratulatory messages to Tang Long.
Berni, who is far away in the United States, even sent him a selfie, in which he is holding a cigar, wearing a big gold chain and sunglasses, giving a thumbs up to the camera.
