Summary
In part two of my engrossing chat with Adam Lallana, we hear about the Brighton man’s adoration for Alexis Mac Allister, the most unselfish of players, whose World Cup performances were so accomplished that Lionel Messi kept looking for him to link play. Adam studies Messi’s technique in order that he can sustain his career for as long as possible. Also: buying into Roberto De Zerbi’s unique deep build-up approach, Santi Cazorla and feeling intimidated to be in the same team as Steven Gerrard.
