Rio Ferdinand on Nani: “I think the most frustrating thing is when you know you’ve got players in your team with undoubted ability - great ability, got everything - but don’t consistently get that out onto the pitch. Nani was a great player. I remember he started one of the seasons like a house on fire and he definitely would have won player of the year if he continued that vein of form. He just got sidetracked. I don’t know, he just didn’t do it all the time. He could shoot better than anybody, left and right, and so hard with both feet but he wasn’t consistent with it. One would go over here, one would go there. You’d say: ‘hit the target man, you don’t have to hit it so hard,’ but it’s about getting all of that in one place at the same time.”
