Speaking to pupils at a school in Rome, Nani said “I came in this season but haven’t been given many opportunities”, adding that “I couldn’t make my fans happy. They expect a lot more, they believe a lot in what I can do.” “The relationship [with the fans] is important, we must always have them on side.”
Nani has made 12 substitute appearances in the Serie A this season, scoring 3 times and picking up a further 2 assists. It was thought that he would bring some much needed skill and dribbling ability in to replace Keita but he has truly struggled to make an impact.
Lazio have been looking at alternatives such as Nantes forward Emiliano Sala and Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini.
