After finishing this video, would you think that Nani deserve to be slated by the fans nowadays? Although the video shows the Nani in the past, he is so well in controlling the ball, passing, shooting from long range and his pace to get past the defenders which are rare to be seen when he play for our team.
Yes, when he first came to Man Utd, it is right to think that he was promising as Ronaldo did. However, with the potential and abilities that he has, will he be as poor as how he perform now? In this video, what we can see the most from Nani is his CONFIDENCE. Why do he almost have none when he play for Man Utd now?
Look at the time he played for Portugal, he could score and link well with the team. So let's think again, is it a problem of Man Utd tactic now? Many fans have sounded their concerns of the team play is very boring and lack of creativity. Our team play lacks effective forward run which is threatening, lacks one-two passes which can easily break the opponents defence. And the lack of closing down from the centre gave a lot of freedom to the opponents to create chances, just like the game against Liverpool.
Valencia is hardworking on cutting the opponents passes. But when he is holding the ball, two defenders are closing him down and he can do is to backpass the ball, which happened at the left side of the flank. No overlapping at the flanks means that you couldn't attack more since there are more defenders at the centre.
Every player tries to stay on the position to avoid the formation to be out of shape, this is the main reason that he team lacks creativity. And how does Nani perform under this situation? So, I hope that the fans would appreciate his effort to play well, give him support is the only thing that we can do until the time the playing style is changed and we see our free flowing football again.
Nani, a vote of confidence for you.
