Whoooooosh.
You've just said Nani is better than Ronaldo at most things apart from shooting, and then said Nani has to step up several gears based on his attributes.
Given his attributes, I meant. Sorry.
That one is unpopular because it's silly.
It's not silly though, is it? Currently, there's a clear difference, but if you look at what Nani actually has to his game, then it's not unfair to say that the level of ability may well similar. As I said before, there are many facets to his game that are clearly better than Ronaldo's.
I mean, just think about it...he's a world class dribbler, has one of the best touches in world football, he's in that minute percentage of players who can pull off an absolute moment of genius several times a season, he's a phenomenal athlete and is very creative. He's clearly nowhere near his peak, yet he's already a world class player. Why is it silly? It's not like we're comparing Messi and Park.
Though there's no guarantee, I think we'll see the best of Nani when a team plays him centrally and builds the formation around him. He may not ever have the consistency of Ronaldo, but there is clearly an absolutely ridiculous level of talent and ability with Nani. To say it is silly to say they are of a similar level of talent, in my opinion, is to fail to properly acknowledge Nani's attributes.
