I'm actually wondering what people think of Nani in relation to Quaresma and Ronaldo, especially after Scolari said Nani is Figo's successor...
What yall think?
Do you agree with this? i found it on the web about Nani:
Well, when a new promissing player comes up it's natural to wish to
compare him to a former "reference player" in the club's recent history
so it's natural to say he reminds you of a Simão, Hugo Viana,
Quaresma, Ronaldo, Moutinho or to a lesser degree Carlos Martins or
Custódio. The similar player here is Quaresma but they are different
players, Quaresma is a natural winger therefore his sprinting is more
noticeable, and his dribbling flashier but comparing Nani now with the
Spring of 2003's Quaresma I'd say Quaresma was more spectacular and
dazzled the fans more but Nani is already more consistent and
statistically better but they are indeed different players and Nani
unlike Quaresma never goes invisible in the big games.

He's a right footed playmaker with a very good left foot as well but
he's played in the senior team as "inside-right", "inside-left",
"playmaker" and often drops into the wings looking for space but isn't
super fast going up the flank.
I'd say his passing is perhaps not as good as Quaresma's yet but his
passing is safer, he may not yet pass as well but he won't give the
ball away as much as Quaresma did by loosing it in excessive dribbling,
I'd say he has better vision than Quaresma had 3 years ago and
tactically he's much better than Quaresma was but keep in mind Bento is
a better coach than Bolloni was tactically. In fact many coaches are
better tactically than Monsieur Bolloni.
Nani doesn't drible as much as Quaresma does either, he's more of
"short dribbler" meaning never letting the ball get too far away from
him like wingers often do of kicking it forward and then acelarating
after it, Nani keeps it closer to himself because he knows he isn't
particularly fast and therefore keeps it close and does a short drible
and a faint to get past opponents who he tricks into getting off
balance with a faint to one side and a short drible in the opposite
direction. Physically he looks much stronger than Quaresma at the same
age, kid's got some strong looking legs, very strong, not fast but very
strong and a good athlete but Quaresma is more unpredictable and
creative.
