Nottingham Forest forward Anthony Elanga believes the team is playing a different style of football in the Premier League.
The Swedish international netted the only goal of the game against Manchester United on Tuesday, to help his team remain third on the league table.
A few more points will guarantee a Champions League place for Nuno’s side and despite Elanga stating tactics are not rocket science he went on to explain that they are more complicated than they seem.
“It’s not rocket science – you can see it all over the internet,” says Elanga. “We have probably got the lowest possession in the league but it has been effective and it is something we have been working on since pre-season.

“It’s a different type of football but it’s important for a player to be able to play different types of football. At the same time, you want to play football – you want to have the ball. But we have got qualities to hit teams on the counter.”
“We have changed the way we want to play this season as well. It’s not just always sitting back and hitting on the counter. Sometimes, I can roam, I can go into the number ten.
“It’s about every player finding the space and working for each other and that is what we have been doing this season. Every player can play every position and that togetherness is important. It shows on the pitch – how we work for each other. We have got 13 clean sheets so far and hopefully many more to go.”
