Former Man Utd winger Nani announces retirement

Former Manchester United and Portugal winger Nani has retired from playing.

The 38-year-old had been playing for Estrela Amadora in the Portuguese top flight this season. Nani's final game came at his first club Sporting on 1 November. "The time has come to say goodbye, I have decided to finish my career as a professional player," he wrote on social media.

"It's been an amazing ride and I wanted to thank every single person who has helped me and supported me through the highs and lows during a career which lasted over 20 years and gave me so many unforgettable memories
 "Time to turn a new leaf and focus on new goals and dreams.
 Nani joined United from Sporting for about £21m in June 2007 and went on to play 230 times for the club, scoring 41 goals
 His time at Old Trafford was successful, winning the Champions League in his first season, plus four Premier League titles and two League Cups in eight seasons.
 Nani's standout campaign with United was 2010-11 when he was named the club's players' player of the year, named in the PFA's Premier League team of the year, and his 14 league assists were more than anybody else.

Can’t talk about Nani without having the feeling of nostalgia. So many memories, I grew up watching him play for Manchester United alongside Christiano Ronaldo. Nani was such an important figure in English football even before I had any real interest in football I knew who he was because his picture was on the cover of exercise books back in the day. I’m going to spend the rest of the evening watching YouTube videos of Nani’s goals for Manchester United. Happy retirement champ!

The best they could do in Mancshter United was for Nisterlrooy to take a place in this team and help Amorim in Mancshter United because this coach is not familiar with the team while Nisterlrooy could help him and he could be a good assistant in Manchester United.
Even in the games we saw from Nisterlrooy in Manchester United when he was working there, he was better than Ten Hag and he could stay there and be a good coach for Manchester United if they tried to keep him for a long time.
Nisterlrooy had an advantage that he utilized so well to making his last days remarkable, one thing I feel the United management and even the fans did lacked at some point was patience because they taught Nisterlrooy isn't competent enough but they forgot he was under the guidance of ten hag all this years and he understood some critical psychology and dynamics around this players of which he was already building some sort of very solid foundation based off a system but then the anticidents of Amorm kept Manchester United glued such that they couldn't give credence to that which Nisterlrooy was already building thst was obviously productive because hes u understood this players so well all this years, it cannot e compared to the new coach who's getting his first time at old Trafford as a Coach.

Chelsea definitely got a golden three points, with Liverpool racking up points like crazy, there is no other team left to battle them, Chelsea looks like the only one left just a bit. With the storm causing the Liverpool game to postpone, the gap is now four points but of course we do not know what that game will be, Liverpool is missing one game, so we can say in theory that can be 7 point gap. With City and Arsenal getting further away, Liverpool probably expected to see themselves much higher and must be shocked to see Chelsea doing this well. In fact, I am pretty sure even Chelsea fans are pretty shocked about what they are seeing as well, doesn't feel that likely to be fair.

Chelsea surprised many football lovers today with their awesome performance against Tottenham. Who could have believed that Chelsea will come from 2 goals down to win the match by a 7 goals thriller which ended 3:4 in favour of the Blues. But despite Chelsea winning Tottenham, i feel they have major challenges at their defense. Chelsea's defense is the only fear they have if not the attackers are really executing their job perfectly. Chelsea closing the gap between them and Liverpool by only four points is really a good thing even though Liverpool have an outstanding game to play but for now, Chelsea have to enjoy the closeness with Liverpool because it makes the league become more competitive and interesting than for Liverpool to be topping with huge points. Manchester city and Arsenal have falling in the title race though there is still room for amends but Chelsea is the only team that have maintained impressive form and are chasing after Liverpool.

Even in the games we saw from Nisterlrooy in Manchester United when he was working there, he was better than Ten Hag and he could stay there and be a good coach for Manchester United if they tried to keep him for a long time.

I think at this moment, Manchester United need more hands than just Nisterlrooy because with the long list of player's who are on injury on Manchester United team, it quite a very difficult one trying to recover from that situation right now with just one one onboard the team, because as it is, there is a lot to do to revive Manchester United that Nisterlrooy alone won't make any significant difference on the team even if his deal goes through this time but having him on the team will still make a big difference at least against next season, Manchester United need to apply same approach that Chelsea applied last season in bringing in all needed hands to change theirs faith after they suffered several seasons on team shortfall.

Arsenal is getting worse as the season goes on, they couldn't find a solution to Fulham's good defense today, the match ended in a draw. Saka's goal in the 88th minute was returned by Var, but although Arsenal was generally the side that controlled the game, Fulham was tight in defense. Arsenal is now in third place with Chelsea's win today. If they could win today, the points would be equal.
I expected Fulham to give Asernal the tough time their experience today, because if you check both clubs previous statistics, you will know that Fulham is not an easy nuts for Asernal to just crack as expected, most especially now that Asernal is really lagging behind in their performance, you can see that Fulham sticker R. Jiménez made the first goal score on the 11th minutes into the match and it took Asernal until the second half at about 52 minutes before being able to equalize the goal all thanks to Asernal player W. Saliba for scoring the equalization goal bringing the match to a 1:1 records.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
In the first half, Tottenham was in good control of the match because Chelsea's midfield was empty due to Caicedo playing right back(not his main position). But the moment Gusto entered(Caicedo playing his right position), the ball possession of Chelsea changed automatically, which turned out to be a positive one for Chelsea to grab the 3 points to draw a bit closer to Liverpool in pursuit of the Premier League title.
That's what happens when a player is forced to play a wing he's not used to....
First off, curcurrela slipped twice and lost control of the ball, which lead to the cheap goal. I'm not even trying to blame him but that fall was brutal at that point. The defender running up front couldn't even contest against solanke to put the ball away and, if I were to lay blames on that early goal, it'll be on him.

But then, Chelsea came back to life in the second period and they were able to claim the three points. We don't even wanna talk about COLD freaking Palma's penalty -- olddd boyy! He's played eleven penalties and have scored all of them since this season.. what a way to begin the peak in his career. Enzo? For me, he had a totally different pattern of game today. I think Chelsea would have to rethink about the plans on releasing him from the club.

That was indeed quite a ridiculous start to the game between Tottenham and Chelsea. Losing two goals primarily (or allegedly) due to the faulty shoes of a defender is not something we witness very often. But Chelsea managed to come back from that and they remain 2nd in the table with, currently, 4 points behind Liverpool, or 7 points if we assume Liverpool will win the postponed game against Everton.

Manchester United's performance was a bit disappointing to all those who believed Amorim could turn things around quickly. United have only won one out of four league games under Amorim's management. Their next league game will be against Man City, who also didn't impress this weekend as they failed to win against weak Crystal Palace. It will be an interesting game.

more points lost Manchester City, only a draw from them.
The leadeboard is lying right now with the gap since we had postponed game.

Next game in Champions will be fundamental for them if they will not win they will be at risk to being out from the final stage

Not only are Chelsea fans shocked, the whole football lovers are. Nobody who watched today's match between Tottenham and Chelsea would say the 3-4 victory Chelsea had over Tottenham didn't shock them. It was 2 goals down the line for Chelsea in 11 minutes of play before the match turns to be a win for Chelsea.

Chelsea surprised everyone with their astonishing comeback of the coach making the right changes of substituting Lavia in the second half for Gusto. That substitution made by Maresca changed the atmosphere of the match in Chelsea's favor(Caicedo played defensive midfielder while Gusto played right back).

In the first half, Tottenham was in good control of the match because Chelsea's midfield was empty due to Caicedo playing right back(not his main position).

Steve Cooper the coach of Leicester City got fired from this team after the game they lost against Chelsea which a 2-1 result and they decided to stop working with this Welish coach. The performance of Leicester City was not good with Cooper which made them get him fired because they were even about to get relegated with this coach.
Now the good thing about Leicester City after Cooper is they hired Van Nistelrooy who left Manchester United recently.
The performance of Nistelrooy was not bad at all and that's why Nistelrooy signed a contract with Leicester City until 2027.


I am happy that Ruud Van Nistelrooy found a club that immediately brought him here in the Premier League. because I am still very curious about Ruud's coaching after he succeeded in making a big surprise at Man United by bringing Man United to a positive trend during his short coaching period. And I don't think it's impossible that Ruud will also bring Leicester City to a better performance. It's just that we can't have high hopes this time. because we have to remember that the squad that Leicester has is not as good as the squad that Man United has.
I wanted Ruud Van Nisterlrooy to become Ruben Amorim's assistant coach at Manchester United, but Ruben Amorim made it clear to Manchester United management that he will be coming to Manchester United with his coaching crew from Sporting Lisbon, and since Manchester United management wants him at Manchester United, they had no choice but to accept his terms and conditions, so I was happy when I heard that Leicester City management wants Ruud Van Nisterlrooy to become their head coach. I know Leicester has won the Premier League title in the past, but they are a club that cannot compete for the Premier League title or finish in the four in the Premier League table, so I believe Ruud Van Nistelrooy will try his best to make sure that Leicester City remains in the Premier League.

The best they could do in Mancshter United was for Nisterlrooy to take a place in this team and help Amorim in Mancshter United because this coach is not familiar with the team while Nisterlrooy could help him and he could be a good assistant in Manchester United.
Even in the games we saw from Nisterlrooy in Manchester United when he was working there, he was better than Ten Hag and he could stay there and be a good coach for Manchester United if they tried to keep him for a long time.

Everyone was surprised with the performance of Chelsea; no one expected them to win the game against Tottenham because even from the start of the game, Chelsea was losing against 2 goals, which surprisingly around 17 min they were able to get a goal, which made them have hope that they would be able to win against Tottenham even though they were playing an away game, and they did. No doubt Chelsea's performance is very stunning, and a lot of people are starting to have hope in them, which, as you mentioned, they are now 4 points below Liverpool, and this was as a result of the game that was postponed. If not, the game might be different. 
Chelsea's performance has really developed this season, they have managed to break many negative assumptions about them. Today's match was so great because Chelsea managed to beat Tottenham in front of their supporters, of course that was a great job that Enzo Maresca had done. Their game is getting better, especially the players' confidence and spirit did not waver when they were two goals behind, but they were able to increase their attacks and score goals until they were able to turn things around.

For me, the progress that Chelsea has built in the last two seasons has now paid off, meaning they have managed to return to second place in the standings and compete strongly with other strong teams. Although there are many adjustments that Enzo Maresca has to make, so far his good performance in formulating strategies has shown extraordinary success, we want to see Chelsea return to the Champions League and this season they must be able to do it.

Underestimate- nothing
I was waiting to see Chelsea win today's match. Because we have seen very good performances from Chelsea recently. On the other hand, the performance of Tottenham players was irregular. But Chelsea's defense broke down in just 5 minutes of the match. Tottenham took a 2-0 lead in 11 minutes. Tottenham was leading 2-1 at the end of the first half. However, Cole Palmer equalized the match by scoring a goal from a penalty in the second half. Now the match is tied at 2-2. It is not possible to say for sure whether Chelsea will win today. Tottenham is trying its best to earn points in their home match.

It was a close one for Chelsea and Tottenham can be this difficult because they even scored first and there was energy and confidence throughout the game shows that they were really ready for Chelsea and to me Chelsea only. Managed to win this game because of not for the double penalty I don't think Chelsea will be able to defeat Tottenham because the difference was Clear when they were playing, and Chelsea fan will not be able to tell me confidently that they won't this game.

And what gave me joy was the fact that they were prepared for the game because five minutes of the game and they have already scored one goal follow by 11 minutes the second goal amd that is why I said Chelsea just got a lucky win, because of the penalties that were awarded to them. There is no much to say since the game have already ended and Chelsea eventually won the game, and they have decided to keep there position intact and arsenal is busy playing draw with Fulham.

I don’t think Chelsea fans will be too shocked seeing this performance from Chelsea. This is something they’re expecting for a long and it just didn’t happen when they expected it. They believed it should have come earlier from the beginning of the season and since it didn’t came that early, they will definitely be shocked a bit about it. Chelsea was not amongst the top teams at the beginning of the season that were ranked to also be potentials for the league title, but today, they are the only one standing against Liverpool and can give them a tough time if they eventually continue like this and get to catch up with them in points.

Arsenal keeps disappointing their fans and they may not even come close to wining the league title this season if they’re not careful and play well in the league. Liverpool and Chelsea are at the forefront competing for the league title and I belive it’s going to be a very big encounter if they really catch up on each other. Consistency is the key here and if any of the team can be very consistent, they’ll have themselves play well to the end of the competition to win the league title easily without stress. Manchester City are gradually getting poor in performance and we may not see them winning the league title this season or come close to winning it if they continue like this.

Manchester United lost the game against Nottingham Forest when Amorim joined the team and he could have a much better performance in this team. The fans of Manchester United were not happy to have a Ten Hag there and they fired this coach from this team. That's why Amorin should feel danger after this and they should not lose points against teams like Nottingham Forest again.
Even some football fans were complaining about the decisions of Amorim and they said he had to keep Bruno Fernandes for a longer time.


Forest isn't a team Manchester United should have suffered a loss from especially at home,I was a bit disappointed because I didn't believe that, I expected worse case would be a draw but Amorim is definitely going to get this fixed soon because so far he has exhibited some very good technical pattern with the team just that the players are yet to completely get used to his patterns of which soon I believe they are going to fit in soon and then they will get productive such that all of this concerns about them will probably be a thing of the past.

It was a thrilling match between Tottenham and Chelsea, how could it not be, both teams were strong in attacking intentions and created several opportunities, and so that resulted in so many goals, which the final score was 3-4. Chelsea's victory resulted in a score of 31 points from 15 matches, and managed to get second place in the standings, and this is an extraordinary achievement and performance for Chelsea, especially when they play as away.

Chelsea gave everything they have in today's match, Enzo Maresca is the man any club should hire right now because I never imagined their come back when Tottenham score the two goals, they were slow in their recovery but it made sense to me better when they score the 4th goal, Chelsea were recovering with sense and weren't playing aggressive ball like Tottenham, to they make sure that every single ball on target they see, a goal was made from it.

Arsenal will take another 15 years again before they set their eyes on the Premier League title, season after season the performance is decreasing, you will wonder if Arteta battery is going low by low, the first season was better, the second one fair and now they seems to be losing this war again and not with Manchester City that do kill their dream but to Liverpool and Chelsea that were been laugh because of their inability to finish in the top 4, this table is getting interesting.

Today's win just showed that Chelsea are as ready as anyone to fight for the championship. And if you think back to the previous two seasons and how awful they were for them, now I am thrilled with their play. Today they could have won easily, but their defender himself brought them two goals that might not have happened. He did rehabilitate himself afterwards after changing his boots and giving an assist, but the situation in the moment was very unpleasant
This week is a slightly different week for the Premier League, of course because several match results did not match predictions. Newcastle lost to Brentford, Manchester City drew against Crystal Palace, Manchester United lost to Nottingham, Fulham drew against Arsenal and Tottenham lost to Chelsea.

Chelsea are in top form with Enzo Maresca, but it's still the first half of the season. The season is still too long to conclude much about the top teams at the moment, of course because I think the difference in position in the standings is still very likely to be seen throughout the season. The second half will be more tiring for any team, but we will definitely have a potential champion there, especially if the point gap between competitors is still quite wide.

Fine by Time
I was expecting Chelsea to win today because they have been in great form lately but what I didn't expect was that they won the match 4-3 after falling behind 2-0, I didn't expect something like this.
It was a huge comeback from Chelsea, they are now right behind Liverpool in the league standings, if they continue like this.
They can catch Liverpool. it looks like Chelsea can be like this.
Tottenham Hotspur are frustrated after a shocking defeats. What a comeback from the Blues this season, they've been in great epic form. Chelsea players and the coach deserve some accolades this season because it's not easy for an elite team to come back against Tottenham Hotspur. This question baffles me, how on earth the Blues did a comeback this evening? It's shocking for everone to spot this huge differences on the scoreline. Jadon Sancho open the scoring, Cole Palmer with the brace, Enzo Fernandez equalizing goal, Marc Cucurella and we call it a wrap for the Blues. This is one of the best comeback win for Chelsea, giving the team's supporters more joy and chants.
Did you use the word a shocking defeat? The Tottenham fans knew they would lose the game with the nonsense they had been playing after scoring the 2 goals early before the 11th minute. Trust me when I say that England has an agenda on this game today. The two fouls in the penalty box look like an intentional foul. No sensible defender would make such a mistake. Especially the second foul was purely intentional. Well, the game is over and Chelshit has won their game today. What i don't like about the EPL most times is that most times the games don't look unfair. I know Arsenal drew today but i don't know why every time VAR has to be in their matter so that they do not win the game.

After Tottenham went 2 goals up inside the first 11 minutes of the game, I was of the opinion that it was going to be an easy game for the Spurs and long evening for  Enzo Maresca's men but little did I know that the away team was going to turn the tie around and claim all three points in such an important game.
7 goals were scored in the thrilling encounter which I think makes it one of the most entertaining London derbies in history. Chelsea at this point is a strong contender for the English Premier League title and I'll not be too surprised if they finally catch up with league leaders Liverpool this season.
