Young star reiterates importance of Ronaldos support
New Manchester United signing Nani says he is surprised at how
quickly he has adapted to life with the Premiership
champions.
The 20-year-old has seen plenty of playing time since arriving at
Old Trafford from Sporting during the summer, following injuries
and suspensions to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and
Louis Saha.
I thought the adaptation would be more complicated, but Ive felt
good and managed to play, he said. The training is similar to
what we did at Sporting, the biggest difference is in the matches
themselves, because they require more fight and effort.
Goal celebration to
continue
Nanis has also set the record straight regarding his goal
celebration, after media reports in England claimed it had been
discouraged by the United coaching staff due to risk of
injury.
That is not true. 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.
Finally, the former Sporting man has again underlined the
importance of having countryman Ronaldo at the club to help his
adaptation, with Brazilian midfielder Anderson completing the
Portuguese-speaking trio of youngsters at Old Trafford.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been unsurpassable in the support hes given
me. Hes really helped me, he is a friend who I spend a lot of time
with off the pitch.
Anderson has been working really well, he hasnt made his debut
yet, but Im sure it wont take long. We have helped each
other.
