Luis Nani - Manchester united (Style of play, Celebration and photo)

Style of play

Nani often invited comparison in his playing style and his ability with club and international teammate Cristiano Ronaldo during his early stage of his careeer at manchester united, for whom he often deputised at club level when Ronaldo was still in Manchester united.
In the absence of Ronaldo's however, Nani's style developed into a more classic winger's style,who is  able to play on both left and right wings although more comfortable on the right, utilises space and  pace, ball control and lots of trickery to create goals. He is more than capable of cutting off on both wings to take a strike at goal from distance and nearby, He has substantially few goals, yet a  He can also play in the more attacking positions of a forward or as a conventional wing forward. which suits MUFC traditional style of playing with Natural wingers.

Celebration

Nani celebrates with what is called "mortal" ("also Leap of death"), similar to the goal celebrations of Obafemi Martins and congolese LuaLua.
Derives from his background in capoeira,Portugal which he practiced as a kid

On 2 November 2010, after a Champions League group stage game against Inter milan, former teammate Rafael van der Vaart said, "Everyone is scared of him. Maicon is one of the best defenders, and bale;s killed him."

Redknapp made  more good comments on Bale in October 2012, saying that he's in the same class as both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He said:

"He's an amazing, amazing talent and he's after the Ronaldos and Messis of this world and he's getting better and better. He's almost unplayable when he's on his game. He is a genuine world-class player. There's nobody he couldn't play for. He'd improve any team."

Ronaldo grew up in Rio Janeiro
Started football as a junior for Social Ramos Club at 12yrs and two years later he joined São Cristóvão in the Carioca League. By 1992 he was already playing in  Brazilian championship side, Cruzeiro. He was a member of Brazil’s under-17 South American team in 1991 before joining his national side in 1994.

He was transferred in 1994 from Cruzeiro to PSV Eindhoven of the Netherlands, where he went and scored 55 goals in 56 games and won the 1995 league championship and  1996 Dutch Cup. 

After moving to FC Barcelona of Spain for 1996–97 season, he scored 34 goals in 37 appearances and helped barcelona  capture the Spanish Super Cup. 

Because of his success, Ronaldo was paid $27 million by Inter Milan to play for them in 1997, a record at that time. 

At Inter his excellent dribbling skills and knack for scoring many goals earned him the nickname “Il Fenomeno.” By 1997 Ronaldo became the first player to win FIFA’s Player of the Year award two years in a row. In 1999, he however,suffered a serious knee injury that left him out of play for almost two years.

He returned to competitive play in 2001.

 At the 2002 World Cup he scored 8 goals to earn the Golden Shoe award as the tournament’s top scorer and helped Brazil win its fifth World Cup championship. 

He then left Inter for Real Madrid(Spain) after they agreed to pay a transfer fee of about $46.3 million. In 2002 Ronaldo was named both FIFA Player of the Year and European Footballer of the Year (an award he  had also received in 1997). At the 2006 World Cup he scored 3 goals to bring his career total at the tournament to a record-setting 15.

While playing for  AC Milan in 2008, Ronaldo ruptured a tendon in his left knee—the same type of injury that had occurred in his right knee in 1999. 

In December 2008,Ronaldo signed with the Corinthians in São Paulo. He however continued to be plagued by a number of  less significant, leg injuries during his time with Corinthians, as well as a thyroid condition that made him gain weight, and then abruptly retired from football in February 2011.
