Nani has confessed his one Lazio regret after looking back on a disappointing first season – not making his fans ‘happy’.

Nani came in as a direct replacement for Keita Balde Diao last summer but has managed just two Serie A starts for Lazio all season, prompting suggestions the Portuguese winger could be sent back to Valencia.

“I came in this season but haven’t been given many opportunities,” he told pupils at a school in Rome, reports ANSA.
