During the final stretch of Orlando City’s push for the playoffs, Nani feels he is finally up to full speed.
“I should start another season,” Nani joked after Saturday’s game against New England. “It’s not easy. To tell you the truth, I [was] not feeling fine at the beginning of the season.”
Nani entered his first season in MLS already out of breath. He had played into February during his final season with Sporting CP in Portugal, arriving in Orlando with barely any time to rest and recover before the Lions’ season started. The addition of a grueling MLS travel schedule and oppressive Florida heat further challenged the veteran.
