Sporting is the best club in the world, says Manchester United star Nani – Report
Manchester United star, Nani, has piled praise on his former employers Sporting Lisbon. The explosive winger graduated from the ranks at Estadio Jose Alvalade and claims that they are best club in the world for him and he is hoping that they win the Portuguese
title this season.
Seleccao International, Nani, has gone to become one of the most feared players in Europe, ever since his transfer to Manchester United from the Primeira Liga. The 25-year-old established himself with the Lions after graduating from the club’s academy and
his talents were soon recognized by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson.
The attacker scored 11 times in 76 appearances for the Lisbon outfit and after shining with some scintillating performances, he garnered attention from several of Europe’s biggest sides.
However it was English Premier League giants, Manchester United, who won the race to acquire his signature after parting ways with a hefty €25.5 million. At Old Trafford, Nani has gone on to reach new heights, as he is now considered to be in the bracket
of the continent’s elite players.
Plying his trade as an out and out winger, Nani uses his inert ability on the ball to drift past defenders with ease and then either provides a cross to his teammates or tries to influence proceedings himself with a shot, unnervingly with both of his feet.
Last season, his importance to the Red Devils grew by a wide margin as his overall play improved quite a bit and so did his reputation. However despite his cult status, the Portuguese International remains quite proud of his upbringing with the Sportinguistas
and revealed that for him, the club was simply the best in the world.
Speaking to reporters, the former Real Massamá man said that he wanted his former club to win the league and added that he was missing his time in Lisbon.
"I wanted to celebrate with the national title this year with Sporting. The team is having good time and I miss the club and the Academy.”
He also added that for him, Sporting was the best outfit in the world and it provided quality facilities to players in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984. Lastly, he said that the team was going through a good period and he hoped that they would be able to wrestle the title away
from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
“Sporting is the best in the world for us Portuguese. It has an excellent set-up, that gives opportunities for many players to gain ground in Portuguese football. I miss Sporting. I talk a lot with the players at Sporting, I see the games and know that they
are going through a good moment and I hope that at the end of the year, we can all celebrate a title,” he said.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 backs Sporting Lisbon to win the Primeira Liga trophy, the club will have counter the threat of their arch-rivals, Benfica and FC Porto, who are considered to be favourites this term.
