Style of play [ edit ]
"Nani's got the potential to do what he wants. He's one of the🌻 sharpest players around, has a great strike with both feet – he's got the potential to be a top, top🌻 player." – Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand on Nani[165]
In the early stages of his career at Manchester United, Nani's ability🌻 and playing style often invited comparisons with club and international teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, however Nani's style developed into more that🌻 of a traditional winger than Ronaldo's evolution into a centre forward.
While being able to play on both wings, Nani is🌻 more comfortable on the right side, where he has been known to utilise his pace along with intricate dribbling skills🌻 and trickery to create space in wide areas and provide crosses for teammates. Though capable of cutting inside from either🌻 wing to strike at goal from distance, Nani scores fewer goals but produces a substantially higher proportion of assists than🌻 his compatriot Ronaldo. Due to his potent attacking talents, he can play a variety of additional roles as a forward🌻 including as an inverted winger on the left, second striker, or even in a more central position as a main🌻 striker, as he has played frequently for Portugal.[166][167]
Celebration [ edit ]
Nani celebrates a goal with a somersault referred to in🌻 Portuguese as a "mortal" ("leap of death"), similar to that of Obafemi Martins and Lomana LuaLua. The celebration derives from🌻 Nani's background in capoeira, which he used to practice as a child.[168] For a while, it was reported that United🌻 manager Sir Alex Ferguson had banned Nani's celebration due to fear for his safety.[169] However, Nani denounced the reports in🌻 August 2007, stating it was "not true" and that "Ferguson has never spoken to me about this subject and I🌻 am going to continue to celebrate goals in this way. The conversations he has had with me are normal conversations,🌻 like he has with all players".[170]
