@@stephenbuffery180 This makes no sense. Messi is the ultimate GOAT and even he has struggled against several players. By this logic, Bruno Alves better than Messi?
Немања Видић, хвала ти легендо на свему💪👑 Дај све од себе и желим ти да очистиш српски фудбал и спорт од олоша и смећа. Живео краљу и све најбоље у животу.
I am not comparing him to vidic, but strahinja pavlovic seems like he is cut from the same cloth certainly, I mean there is still hope. That kid when he came to the world cup he was so visibly confused and out of place and yet delivered each performance with so much heart and passion, scored a goal as well. While you could see Nikola and Milos struggling to cover for their wing back, zivkovic, Pavlovic was so enormous and gigantic at the back you could see him everywhere. This back 3 with no real CDMs and wing backs who are actually wingers leave the Serbian back 3 very vulnerable but I was impressed how pavlovic tackled that challenge. He is a top top talent in my books and if there is right kind of atmosphere around him we will see a true fighter of a Cb in the future. I hope in Euros Serbia dont leave their back 3 so helpless. It is so heartbreaking to watch them play without any defensive solidity whatsoever, although they have great talent.
Because our football association is corrupt and government-led, a lot of nepotism and mafia, our coach has a $1.2mil salary for god's sake and he never coached any top 5 leagues . Coaching staff, physio, set-piece coaches, and all other staff have tactics like it's 1990s, and this is just scratching the surface, we probably sell games practice blackmail and who knows what else goes on there...
As Serb and a Liverpool fan, I remember watching United games mora than Liverpool games back then thanks to Vidic. What a joy that was watching him "kill" attacking players for those 8 or so years.
Watching him when I was a young kid he became my favorite defender and one of my favorite players at Manchester United instantly Watching him from that young age I want to say it made me fearless in the way I play sports not even just football but he definitely influenced how I played and saw the game
@@shapeshifter7676 players like rashford are given 9 season's in a club to prove themselves, still they can't deliver what's expected from them. And you're saying that club isn't supporting players 🤣
Im Serbian and Man Utd is my favorite club in PL,Paul Scholes was my favorite player ever and in that team that i watch come Serbian warior Nemanja Vidić and play with Legends and Greeatest ever Ser Alex....oooo man and that song about Nemanja and where he is coming from wow and straight respect from Man Utd fans who respect people like him,people who will give thay everything for that club and that is what is mising today...I mising days when footbal wasnt just who is payed 200 M but dont worth to clean boots of Legends like this...
Nemanja is one of my favorite center backs, I look up to him when i play footy, no nonsense defender and gets the job done, amazing use of physicality and aggression, one of the best center backs the premier league has ever seen
No Vandijk is litteraly better than Vidic in every aspect of the game, hes socred more prem goals, has a better tackle succesion rate, is far faster, far stronger, better in the air, has more passes and a better pass completion lol
Obsessively watched premier league in the late 2000s and early 2010s, and as a united fan, Vidic was my hero. If there was an attack, Vidic was there to save us. Reliable, tough as nails, defended like his life depended on it. Sometimes what you need from a defend is them putting their heart and soul into stopping the opponent.
Heh there is a fun fact back in 2002, young Vidic was playing in Red Star Belgrade and there was a derby against Partizan where Vidic scored a header and commentator said (note again that it was 2002) “And Its a goal, Nemanja Vidic - Red Star's Sami Hyypiä!”
what a passion for play and victory that was!! as a liverpool fan it was tough to watch him play against us but hats off, he was on another level! i'd say Maldini and Vidic are the best defenders i saw playing. quality, performance and attitude are over the roof!
Unfortunarly no more tough defenders. I mean there are strong phisicaly defenders but they just dont seem tough as defenders before. Back than they had bigger pair of balls.
as we Serbs like to say if Vidic was english, italian or spanish player he would be considered as Beckenbauer, maldini same as we say if Novak Djokovic was american, british or german he would be easily considered as a goat long time ago but not just that he would be considered as best athlete of all time, similar situation is happening in basketball and NBA where the best player in last 4 yrs is serbian Nikola Jokic having won 3x MVP of the season, winning the western conference MVP player award, winning the title with MVP of the finals all that while there is huge even hate and racism showed to him, if you miss the pattern here then you are either deluded or acting dumb
I miss seeing hime playing. Wish we could reslly find another CB who is as fearless as he was . Man give his all for ManUtd even when he had blood rushing from nose or head injuries he kept playing like a real boss
Back than he was tough as brick at his peak of career. What a defender he was. Its sad to see actual Man U defenders when we remeber Vidic, Ferdinand, Stam.
Guardiola made defenders obsolete (along with officials who punish tackling but allow diving). Now we're supposed to believe Haaland is an all-time great because he's exploited the gap... Vidic would brutalise that Ghostbusters II clown
The problem with MU defence nowadays is they just waiting for the ball and goes back off until opponents teams scores, meanwhile vidic and and the gang, make a high pressure and get the ball before the player get any chance to go inside the box.
The point of this story is not Vidic; check the part of the interview when, after his training sessions, he could not find any other teammates who were doing extra training to improve what they needed in the game, to be better to be top class. And most important is that whole group was like that, and they have respect for the club, to the staff, and to the game, so each time in that environment, when a new player comes, he needs to adopt that mentality or it will fail. That is the success of glorious Manchester United, but it is unfortunately past...
The myth of Torres destroying him is absolute nonsense, in 15 matches against Vidic, Torres only scored three times. One of the goals was a mistake by Vidic which later on he admitted to misjudge the distance and he scored.
Its a very popular comment on social media. HAHA TORRES! But lets be honest did any defender in history manage to stop everyone all the time? HAHA SERGIO RAMOS GOT DESTROYED BY MESSI
If I had to pick 3 of my all time favourite manutd centre backs it would be vidic with rio n finally the one who literally bullied the Premiership for a few season is juup stam
No they compare Van Dijk to Vidic and there is no comparison. Nobody will ever reach Vidic standards of 2007/8/9 seasons. Van Dijk is way over rated playing in a protected era of football!
@@iprince7934 He's not even close. Vidic was just as good in the air, FAR superior in ground duels and his positioning and anticipation were possibly the best the Premier League has ever seen. VVD is one of the greats but there's levels and he's not on Vidic's.
the only close to Vidic at the moment is Strahinja Pavlovic, a great defender who i see he throws his heart and body on the field is it possible that he might be like Vidic?, I am not sure but wherever he does end up i hope he still has mindset like Vidic did and continue to defend great like he used to
Strahinja Pavlović, maybe. Few years ago, I've sent an email to a MUTD to pay attention on Strahinja and I have stated that he can be a new Vidić. Unanswered.
The war you said about in the beginning, and what Vidic is talking about, is not the Bosnian, or Croatian or whatever in the mid 90's. It's the nato including the UK, and US bombing Serbia to shit, which ironically Rio is having a reaction to
god damn i got goosebumps at the end when they started singing his name
Brought a tear to my eye 😢
Me too 😢
Same 😢😢

We have Lisandro 💪
I agree to that 💯💯
Nemanja Vidić its my fav player all time!
My Serbian Science teacher did a whole power point presentation about Vidic when we were supposed to be learning about science.
This is so interesting😅 Where are you from?
Vdic is science bruv😂😂
@@milanazdero6455 im from the UK 😂. We all failed too 😂😂😂
Im from the same town as Sami Hyypiä, Ive been a hammers fan since 90s but I must say that Vidic is by far the best centerback Ive seen. Rescpect.

Van Dijk doesn't deserve to named in the same breath as him. He's leagues below Vidic.
He was also fantastic with positioning in free kicks and corners, scored many goals like that with fantastic headers
what a passion for play and victory that was!! as a liverpool fan it was tough to watch him play against us but hats off, he was on another level! i'd say Maldini and Vidic are the best defenders i saw playing. quality, performance and attitude are over the roof!
My Favourite CB by a mile
Jebiga dva puta igrac premijer lige a defanzivac sta reci Ratnik krvavi Nemanja ❤
he gave his heart and soul for manutd thank you Vidić
these kinda videos will remain to show the next generation just how bright some players were before the current.
Hard as fucking nails.
Vidic will always be loved ❤
I guess lisandro Martinez now wears the crown ❤
Yes. Lisandro Martinez is similar in play style. Fights for the bagde
Please tell me why I felt goosebumps all over when the fans started the vidic chant. They don’t make cbs like him anymore… 😢❤
Him and Jaap Stam are the best pure defenders in prem history by a mile.
Unfortunarly no more tough defenders. I mean there are strong phisicaly defenders but they just dont seem tough as defenders before. Back than they had bigger pair of balls.
I’m Albanian and I am a fan of him. Great player.
Spot on RVP, we miss him dearly.
Vidic and Rio are the best CB pair in English football of all time. Both were absolutely dominate and complemented each other impeccably.
Vidic is awesome. I hope Martinez can come back and live up the the same standards if Utd don’t sell him in their up coming clear out.
martinez has an ounce of nemanja's passion. that's enough to succeed.
He'd be first out 😂
You need more people like martinez to inspire each other. Having crybabies like sancho and others would only lead to destruction
Martinez is Vidic but small
Warrior of a genius
Absolute goosebumps on his farewell. Absolute legend of the game and the club. Always think he’s underrated compared to Maldini and Sergio Ramos.

I love him.
How did we go from Vidic and Ferdinand to Maguire and Lindelof
This your question move me oooo I swear
Great January signing along with evra, both struggled at first and Martinez is of the same mould as vidic, just need him to stay fit
And grow a foot 😂😂
lol

I hope he can make a good comeback. We are in dire need of a personality like him in our defence.
God help us 🙏
