How Refreshing…
Soccer fan or not, this is refreshing…Thank you Nani.
You game my son and I something to talk about beyond the beauty of your game.
(emphasis mine…picking up mid article)
The 23-year-old has protested his innocence over the tackle and he has apologised for possibly costing United all three points at Villa Park.
“After half-time, I spoke with the coach and he was unhappy with me,” Nani told The Sun.
“That is normal, as tackles like that are not permitted in the Premier League. I accept my responsibility for my actions, though they were not premeditated. I insist that my objective was to play the ball and not the foot of Petrov.
“The incident happened in the middle of the pitch and I don’t think I merited being sent off. I am not a violent footballer. My career is in this sport.
“I wanted to recover the ball and I saw the chance to stop Petrov.
“Now I am sorry, because I have damaged the performance of my team. I am convinced that had we finished with 11 men we would have won.
