Nabil Fekir did not leave great sensations during his first appearances of the summer. His start against Derby County did not inspire Pellegrini, which moved him from position to give him many minutes as a team leader. It was there when he enjoyed better chances to meet the goal, although without success in the auction. The coach wants his best version and knows that a large part of the ballots to repeat a successful course depend on the performance of the Frenchman. It marked differences in the past course during counted games and Pellegrini wants to multiply that incidence.
For this, the coach does not cease in his efforts to motivate the French. He did it when he was left out of the Eurocup and influenced him to show an increasing performance to re-expose your candidacy to your selection. His answer came with his great goal on the last day of the League that helped the decisive victory against Celta. But it also motivated the player when he experienced his most irregular chapters in the middle of the season: he neither moved him from his eleven nor did he ever doubt his relevant role in his game scheme. Meanwhile, the youth squad Rodri squeezes to fight for a place in that area of the field while the transfer market does not bring offers that invite a hypothetical goodbye.

One of Pellegrini's strengths is that Fekir comes into play with a greater ability to be decisive. For this reason, he intends not to intervene so far from the rival goal and tries to favor his game with other pieces that are complementary on the grass. His alliance with Canales is a reality, but Pellegrini also needs that the Fekir factor Don't be intermittent and find the consistency that your team sorely needs. At the gates of another high-flying friendly match (today against Leeds at 13:30), the coach continues in his personal challenge to find the best Fekir, the one who arrived in Heliopolis to mark the differences in attack.
