🗣️ 'I don't think he knows exactly what he's doing but he succeeds. He's very direct and hungry to score.' Nemanja Vidic will go down as one of the best Premier League defenders ever, but four strikers gave him nightmares... 👀
Instead, Vidic namechecked Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Luis Suarez but also included 6ft7 striker Peter Crouch as dealing with a player like him was a venture into the unknown for the former Man United captain."My first experience was Peter Crouch. I'd never seen a two-metres tall player before", Vidic told Andy Mitten from "He played for Liverpool and we played them in a cup game at Anfield.
"I'd never had a No 9 and a sharp, fast, player next to him. I knew how to deal with them individually but not both of them at the same time. I played alongside Wes Brown, it was a tough game, a long game. We lost 1-0."On Drogba, who was sent off in the 2008 Champions League final for slapping Vidic, the former Inter Milan centre-back described the Chelsea legend as"very clever player who would get into the brain of the defenders".
In a 4-1 Manchester derby thrashing at the Etihad in 2013, Aguero and Alvaro Negredo gave he and Rio Ferdinand a nightmare."He looks like he's not interested in football on the pitch.
