June 22 News Recently, in an interview with Polish media TVPSPORT.PL, Nani talked about Ronaldo, the 2016 Portugal quarterfinals against Poland and his life after retirement.
Nani has maintained the highest level in the world for many years. He has made 112 appearances for the Portuguese national team, winning European Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup, four Premier League titles, as well as domestic cup championships in England and Portugal. He has played many games with Ronaldo in Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United and Portugal's national team.
"He is a great champion. Despite his age, he has been in excellent form and is able to win very important games. He has set an extraordinary example for young players. We should support him and be happy that he can still be in such a state at such an age. We have seen his recent form of competition, which will certainly be the case in the World Cup next year. He has great ambitions and can lead Portugal to win the World Cup." Nani recalled on TVPSPORT.PL.
When asked about the unforgettable quarterfinals of Poland in 2016, Nani recalled: "Poland has very good players. I was lucky enough to play against them in the 2016 European Cup. It was an extremely difficult game for us. We were once behind, and it was very difficult to equalize the score, and we finally won the penalty shootout."
"We were very distressed in that game. When the referee blew the final whistle, we valued this result very much because we saw that (winning) was not allowed. Easy. We won the gold medal with Coach Fernando Santos. I kept in a very good contact with him. "
Then, Nani talked about her life after retirement: "After finishing her career as a professional, I started my own football academy. I am now in touch with football from another perspective. I work with young players and try to impart my knowledge and experience to them. I also work with Manchester United and UEFA. Now I have more time to travel and finally start to enjoy life and have fun in it."
