As mentioned before in my recent blog, I professed my admiration for the defensive duo of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United FC.
Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are recognized as one of English football’s best ever center half partnerships. They played side by side for Manchester United for seven and a half seasons, and won five Premier League titles, three League Cups and the Champions League in 2008.
Vidic and Ferdinand superbly praised each other on the pitch. The Serbian was a forceful center back who continually , a physical nearness who was splendid in one v one circumstances and amazingly hard to beat. Vidic was additionally a decent footballer, yet individuals unavoidably recollect him more for exceeding expectations at the less fabulous side of safeguarding.
Rio, at his pinnacle, was very mobile and maintained consistent control of the ball when in possession. The previous United and England commander was double the most costly center half on the planet, and his performances excelled even more upon the arrival of Vidic in 2006.
The pair’s organization proved to be a strong platform which provided the defensive support throughout Sir Alex Ferguson’s hugely fruitful period at the helm of United. Vidic was physically the more dominant while Ferdinand, with Edwin van der Sar behind them, Gary Neville to one side and Patrice Evra on the left, the group’s unshakable establishments permitted the inventive abilities of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez to thrive.
The Beautiful Game
