Nani cried after being kicked at Anfield, Manchester United teammates want to kill him!

Sports Weekly All Media Reporter Xiaozhong reported that

Football is a sport for men, and men who play football are not allowed to cry, especially in front of their opponents!

From 2007 to 2014, Portuguese striker Nani played for Manchester United for seven years. On the FIVE podcast show of Manchester United's former central defender Leo Ferdinand, Manchester United's former French left-back Patrice Evra recalled that in one game, Nani was fouled by his opponent on the court, and he couldn't help crying. Manchester United teammates thought he was soft and he would hit him after the game, because in their opinion, men who play football should be strong and should not cry. The game mentioned by Evra was on March 15, 2011, in the 29th round of the 2010/11 Premier League season, Manchester United played away against Liverpool. In that game, Liverpool scored goals in the 34th and 39th minutes, leading 2-0 in the first half and finally won 3-1. In the 45th minute of the game, Nani dribbled the ball along the wing in the frontcourt, and Liverpool center back Jamie Carragher flew to tackle him. After Nani stood up, she complained to the referee, and the referee was ready to show Carragher a yellow card. At this time, Liverpool midfielder Gerald also came over. Regardless of the referee's obstacle, Gerald pushed Nani and stepped on him. He fell to the ground again, and Nani cried.

Karag's flying shovel was very fierce. Nani's leg was damaged, her flesh was broken, and she was bleeding. He got off the field on a stretcher and failed to play in the second half. It’s not that Carragher’s shoveling was not ruthless, it’s not that Gerald’s approach was not evil. But in the eyes of Manchester United players, at home of enemies and at Anfield, no matter how much injury or grievance you suffer, you have to be like a man and you can't cry, otherwise you are developing other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige.

In that game that year, Rio Ferdinand was not on the roster and was not on the scene. In the show, Evra asked him, "Do you remember the game that was tackled by Jamie Carragher at Anfield?"

Evra continued, "I remember he was tackled and his legs almost broke. We started playing with the Liverpool players, first Steven Gerrard, and then Scholes came over. He (Scholes) saw Nani crying, and he said xxx, let's go."

Scholes finished and turned around and left. He felt that Nani was lying on the ground crying, and he could not cry at Anfield, especially. Nani was not worthy of his teammates standing up for him, nor was it worth his teammates coming to comfort him.

Evra recalled: "After that, Ferguson gave him two weeks of rest because he (Ferguson) said he (Nani) needed to recover from that thing because we were waiting for him (Nani), because in that team, we didn't care and we were ready to kill him."

Evra recalled that at that time, even Manchester United coach Ferguson thought Nani was not good enough and shouldn't cry, and even said hatefully that Nani might as well be kicked off.

Evra said: "Because you know someone is crying at Anfield...even Ferguson, you remember that he said: 'I hope your leg is broken, I really hope your leg is broken.' When Nani fell to the ground, Ferguson always wanted to kill Nani, saying that you are not worthy of being a Manchester United player."

Why can't Manchester United players cry at Anfield and show weakness at Anfield? Leo Ferdinand also explained and added. He thinks that if you cry at Anfield, Liverpool players will play more motivated and will play more vigorously.

Leo Ferdinand said: "We (Manchester United players) all ran over because it was a very fierce tackle and everyone was pushing. Scholes came over, looked at Nani, saw him crying, said 'no', and then walked away, and left. He said, he 'can't stand for that'. What Pat said is that at Anfield, you can't show any kind of vulnerability."
