Pro: Quality in attack

Right, a good point now. Nani has unbelievable amounts of power and accuracy in both feet, so when he strikes a ball from distance is often keeps the goalkeeper off-guard. He has displayed on numerous occasions how easy it is for him cut inside and wallop the ball into the roof of the net, but his fleet-footedness allows his to weave in and out of opposition defenders at will.

Here, in this clip, we see just how talented the boy is with the ball at his feet. He is up against two defenders on the touchline, but he soon dazzles them with a single piece of skill, leaving them for dead.

He then drops a shoulder and beats a third man and proceeds to dink the ball over the keeper and into the net at the far post from an impossible angle.
