Nemanja Vida... boy..man..monster

Now heres to the Best Defender 2008-2009 for Soccercrazee. Quite unanimous the man Nemanja Vidic. Aged 27, this boy has maturity that makes people think hes probably older or as old as his defensive partner Rio Ferdinand.. Starting his career at Red star Belgrade where most Serbians or Montengrans would be honoured to play for, he made his way in Spartak Moscow. He impressed and even captain Red Star at a young age and came of age when he played for the now defunct Serbia and Montenegro football team.Spotted by a man called Ferguson.. He was soon on his way to Man Utd who won the bidding was vs Liverpool for this boy. by 2 million pounds..

Who can forget the disasterous debut vs Blackburn? David Bentley wont.3-5 Blackburn. A certain Nemanja and Patrice looked terrible they say. They blamed them. A flop was expected. But den in the 70th minute. Nemanja Vidic put in 1 challange. A sliding challange of pure class. A time where no1 thought United needed defenders. Ferguson was spoiling the mix? Someone picked Nemanja Up.. But did he rise?


My oh my.. it wasnt until the 2005-2006 season proper did Vidic put his foot down on his poor start. He grew accustomed ot Manchester and he was ready. He and Vidic put on impressive shows in his first season. He won the BPL that season and scored his first goal. But he was hungey he wanted more.. Last season was probably the best in the Serb's life so far as he wont the Champions League and Premiere League in 1 season. But he outdid himself.The more this boy plays it seems the better he becomes. He learns from everything. Once upon a time Adebayor used to make him twist and turn and go crazy now he calmly handles him like a small hurdle in an Olympics hurdle event. He even made goals come easier with crucial ones in all leagues especially that goal v Inter Milan in the latter stages of the champions league. The season belongs to Vidic and though he has yet to reach the same class as Cannavaro in a world cup few years back, his style in different and I do believe his hard work and brilliant work ethic as well as his tackling ability and goals means he is way more effective and an asset.

He has paves the way for more Serbs in ManUtd like Tosic,Ljajic and a few more trialists that have come in and out of old trafford. The 1 season it takes to get accustomed to their new home seems a good investment for Ferguson. For Serbia, 39 appearances and 2 goals. He made his name in the "famous 4' defence that only conceded 1 at a world cup and he gives his 120% for country and club.. Red cards are in his game but who cares if he dares?

Kudos to Nemanja..
