Nani still unhappy with Jamie Carragher

Football News Staff - 17 Mar 2011
Manchester United winger Nani admits he has not forgiven Jamie Carragher for the tackle that led to him being stretchered off earlier this month.

Nani was left with a nasty gash on his shin following a high tackle from Carragher, and the Portuguese claims it is the second time he has been injured by the veteran Liverpool defender.

He said: “I don't know what Carragher was thinking but I do know what he did was not football.

“He came to apologise after the game. But I was not happy.

“It is the second time he injured me. Before, he put me out of the game for two months. He always tackles like that.

“I don't want protection. I just want the referees to be fair. If it is a red card, they have to give it. If they give the card, the next time the player doesn't make the tackle.”

Nani went on to admit that he thought his season was over when he discovered the extent of his injury while still on the field.

The 24-year-old added: “When I saw my leg for the first time, I thought my season was finished. That is why I was crying.

“Afterwards, the doctor saw my leg and said I had been lucky because it just needed stitches and I would be out for two or three weeks. He is surprised that I could recover even quicker.”
