Nani: Sir Alex Ferguson does not allow me freedom at Manchester United


''But something of the street remains in me. It is not easy to show at United because Sir Alex does not allow very much freedom and I cannot do the tricks and things I did with my friends.''

Uh oh.

wow...just wow.

Looks like it's the end for Nani.

Paddy Barclay is probably rubbing his tiny jock #@&%! now at the thought of another United 'bust up'.

'Clubs on red alert as Nani rift with Ferguson deepens'

Kill him!!!!

I saw this on newsnow earlier.

The Guardian reports how Nani has told a Spanish magazine that he’s not allowed to fully express himself at Manchester United.

While that may seem like a complaint, reading the interview in full, which was given to Spanish weekly sport magazine Don Balón it seems the Portuguese winger is simply stating how he has to be a little more disciplined at United in comparison to how he used to play as a youngster- hardly a revelation, nor a gripe.
Redflagflyinghigh’s translated the interview in full, not due to any Spanish knowledge, simply because we know how to use Google Translate and we thought we’d allow you to make your own minds up as to what Mr Da Cunha is thinking, rather than let the English press’s take on it, confuse you.
Here’s the interview in full, translated by us so you don’t have to bother copying and pasting it into translate yourself- aren’t we kind?


You’re experiencing your most consistent season since joining Manchester United. How do you explain this metamorphosis?

“It’s true, especially what I have been doing so far this season, more goals, more assists, more games. The team regularly also helps. I’m happy but what will count is what you get now and the end of the season.
“Everything I’ve done so far may have a role to help us win the championship. I want to do my best and follow a good level. I feel good and so far I could help the team, which is said that I’m one of the most important players, but I still think I can improve in some aspects. I’d like to score more goals and create more opportunities.

What has changed in relation to recent years that it has been possible to achieve that level?

“Basically I’ve had more opportunities. And when I started to play more as a starter and with more playing time increased the chances of another influence on the team. My confidence grew and I consolidate my space.”

We’re now in March and United continue to go in the League, Cup and the Champions League, as usual. How is it facing this cycle?

“There is much work ahead, but that is nothing new for us. We know that nothing is gained and the path is difficult. The team is on track, with good chances to win titles. We must maintain the same consistency, application and concentration to keep winning games. I aspire to win everything, we are well placed in the Premiership and we’re going to give my best in the Champions League and the FA Cup.”

What can we expect from you this season on an individual?

“The important thing is to continue paying for the team, with goals and assists. Last summer, during my first week of vacation I could not stop thinking about how Chelsea won the league . Thank God that I could distract me with the preparation for World Cup. This year no World Cup, summer is long, but I want to go on holiday with a big smile after winning at least one title.”

What do you feel to have got the assist for the goal by Wayne Rooney against City, which is likely to be the goal of the year?

“I feel a great joy. That was a very important moment for us. Always good to have players like Rooney on your team at any time can decide a game.”

The vast majority of the goals you have achieved this season have been with both your right and

“When I was little I used to go to train alone, and sometimes I spent afternoons training, first right and then left. Trying to give the ball spin and make it strong. I’ve always wanted to improve and now when I see that I can score with both feet because it means I am proud that my work paid off.”

Despite being completely different realities and demands, do you get with the United the same pleasure you felt when you played in the street with your friends?

“It’s different. When playing in the street with my friends I had no responsibility. This was pure pleasure and fun, we played just for us. Obviously now I try to enjoy the game but not always possible. There is a responsibility, requiring total concentration and pressure inherent in the competition. Here one can not fail.

But it is undeniable that there is some street soccer in your game …

“There is always something, is a natural heritage, but at United is not easy because Sir Alex does not pemit me to be so free. I can not do the dribbling and the things I did with my friends. But whenever I can, when the game is controlled, I take risks and I feel great joy even when things go wrong. I receive many compliments and letters, and it’s good to know that people like my game. But I always want more and I will fight for it.

In the knockout round of the Champions League at the Velodrome, the OM fans followed him most of the game with a laser pointer. How did it affect you?

“It hardly affected me at all. In a corner kick bother me a bit in the eyes, but only that.

Consider the situation from another perspective. Did you feel special to have been ‘chosen’ by the fans of Marseille?

“That has already happened in most stadiums. Fans of rival clubs more pressure I believe that if they can destabilize the team will not perform well. There is this concern to try to determine who, in his opinion, is one of the strongest points of Manchester United.”

It is undeniable that in the absence of Wayne Rooney it was largely your responsibility to lead United to success. Do you feel one of the major players in the team?

“I have the confidence of the coach and my teammates, who are giving me that responsibility and encourage me before the game to load with the team. I take the challenge and responsibility because I am in excellent shape and I can help the team and upset.”

In a recent interview you admitted that you want to be among the best in the world. Do you think it will be this year when it will be you among the top nominees to clinch the Golden Ball?

“I do not know. I recognize that things have gone very well but know people’s opinion and decide. When my name is on that list will be satisfied. I want to be one of the best in the world but I’ve been obsessed with it. My only concerns are to help my team and my team to continue to play good football.”

So there you have it, far from moaning about his lack of freedom, Nani seems to be happy at United and willing to do his bit for the team. Although he’s still capable of trying 64 shots in a single game, there’s no denying the former Sporting man has come on leaps and bounds and been United’s player of the season- here’s hoping he can have a smile on his face in the Summer.

I'd imagine he cashed his chips with Fergie anyway when he cried on the Anfield turf.

Shameful.

He's still allowed to do his feigning injury trick though

Look at 10 men here.

Nani also wanted to unionise the players and Ferguson the great socialist overlord put a stop to it.

Off to Hercules in the summer

So The Guardian chop up a well rounded and mature interview into that? Honestly I am done with that paper.

Anyone want a DON'T BUY THE GUARDIAN sticker?

Depends if you are cut to the bone and are frustrated that the ref only deemed it a booking.

I wouldn't personally but I can understand why someone would/could.

Incredible the amount of stick he's had for that.It was one of the worst tackles I've seen.Love all the Top Reds saying "I've had bigger scratches on my #@&%!!"



And this is clearly a 'come and get me plea' from Nani.Until tomorrow, when he comes out and says it's all bullshit.

bid deal he cried, its nani and he is a modern footballer, hes not a £#%&!ing cage fighter is he. not a lone either when there was plenty of other wimps in united shirs that day

can we call the author who span that article up for the england cricket team please? we'd piss the world cup.

Nani in i'm not allowed to dick around like i did with my mates because i am playing professional football shocker.

“I have the confidence of the coach and my teammates"

What!? What the hell is this!? The papers are cherry picking quotes from a foreign interview with a United player and those quotes have been construed in a negative way?

Well, I'm shocked.

I'm really worried now in case Fergie reads that. He must've read a lot of papers in his time and knows that if it's in there in black and white then it must be true. I hope he doesn't even bother speaking face-to-face with a player he's had a professional relationship with for four years and just ditches him.

Fergie's hardly likely to take his side, he loves the press!

This is just awful.

First there was that incident at Anfield where that big thug nearly broke his leg and he didn't react like a great big macho tough guy - which I fully expect from every single United player ever, regardless of temperament, pain threshold etc - and he deliberately put us down to ten men. Now, this blatant verbal assault on our manager.

Terrible news.

I'm just glad we've got that war chest.
