The Ultimate Number 2

Nani being second best is great news for Portugal

 

Ronaldo and Nani. Number 1 and Number 2

Nani is a good yardstick to measure how things are going well for Portugal.

He is a unique individual player, far superior to almost all his teammates, but inferior to Ronaldo by a country mile. He is often mercurial but often gets entangled in bad decision making. He is also the kind of teammate a less focused Ronaldo may forget.

He played a perfect number 2 last night against the Czech Republic. That’s a great sign for Portugal.
