Nani’s confidence has strengthened to the point that the player now considers himself as being one of the best on the planet. Having netted 4 goals and made 6 assists in 10 games in the English Premier League only, Nani has transformed into one of Manchester United’s key players this season.
Last weekend, the Portuguese international was at the centre of controversy for his goal against Tottenham Hotspur which wrapped up Man United’s 2-0 victory in the league. He is therefore expected to receive maximum attention when the Red Devils play away to Bursaspor on Tuesday night.
Can Nani once again rise to the occasion and lift Manchester United against the Turkish side like he did a fortnight ago? The public will actually have to wait and see whether the Portuguese winger can maintain his consistency and defeat the pressure caused by the recent accusations of some football fans following his bizarre goal against Spurs. Adding to the stressing atmosphere that is expected to envelop the Bursa Ataturk on Tuesday night is the importance of the match.
Manchester United have 7 points in the Champions League thanks to an undefeated record and 2 wins from three games. They’ll all but qualify if they can add 3 more points to what they already have, but they also need to take things seriously as Rangers are just 2 points behind them. Statistics explain that Manchester United could lose Group C’s top spot if they fail to beat Bursaspor while Rangers defeat Valencia in Spain.
However, Nani is up for yet another challenge as he relishes the thrill and drama of football. It’s Bursaspor turn to be wary of what the player could give out on Tuesday night.
“I want to be one of the best [players]. I’m not scared of playing in big games. They are the most beautiful in football. You play them with very high quality.
“You have to believe in yourself and believe in your abilities on the pitch. Big games are for big players.”
Nani is the player to watch in Manchester United’s Champions League match against Bursaspor. The star winger knows what it means to score against the Green Crocodiles as he’s done this already at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago.
