Con: Play acting

A lot has been said about Nani's tendencies to make the most of things. Despite his muscular frame he is often brushed off the ball and has been accused of going down when he could have perhaps stayed on his feet.

This clip, taken from a game against Liverpool, was slightly different. The challenge from Jamie Carragher was no doubt a reckless one, and Nani was indeed clattered.

However, after rolling around the floor in 'agony' for a bit, the winger suddenly jumps to his feet to berate the referee. Not the smartest move, and Nani realises this so he falls straight back down to the deck.

Nice acting.
