Nasri, who was already technically skilled, appeared in the final 10 minutes, so physical endurance wasn't an issue;
Coupled with a strong urge for revenge, he was extremely active in his runs.
He bounced around the backfield like a flea, frequently using passing and receiving to control the rhythm of the backfield, signaling his teammates to slow down.
Moreover, Nasri paid close attention to utilizing the width of the field, a genuine skill he learned from Tang Long during his time at Manchester City.
Under Nasri's guidance, Tottenham gradually stabilized and even gained the upper hand in ball possession at one point.
The time reached the 89th minute, and the fourth official on the sideline was preparing to raise the sign for added time, as Pochettino exhaled slightly in relief on the sideline.
He couldn't help but go over to ask the referee how many minutes were being added.
The fourth official didn't answer, simply raised a "4" high.
