Manchester United winger Nani feels he is still adjusting to Premier League football and battling against his inclination to perform tricks.
The 24-year-old Portuguese star has shown some much-improved form this season to help the Red Devils top the league - and credits the disciplinarian approach of manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Nani said: "I try to enjoy playing now, but it is not always possible because I have a responsibility to the team.
"But something of the street remains in me. It is not easy to show at United because Sir Alex does not allow very much freedom and I cannot do the tricks and things I did with my friends.
