Ferdinand was never about aggression and strength. Yes, he had them, but his strongest weapon was his tactical awareness. How he read the game, how he intercept the ball. Aggression and strength belong to Vidic. If you don't know that simple and very well known fact, then you just made things up and you didn't really follow football back then. It's almost like saying that Xavi was about dribbling skill and Iniesta was about playmaking skill.

0:40 - tell me why I was confident that Rio would stop an entire RONALDINHO in a one-on-one situation. No defender has given me confidence like him. Even Vida sometimes, I worried when players dribbled at him. With Rio, I always had confidence that he would NEVER give away a foul and that he would always get the ball. Yes, even against Messi! Always stayed on his feet and made the tackle at the right time, unlike some of our current defenders that just jockey and let the striker shoot. I hope Bailly can fill his boots and then Maguire can fill Vidic’s boots.

free novantotto yes, maybe it was a foul, but not a clear one. The way Rio stayed on his feet, stretched forwards rather than sideways and closed off the angle made it seem like Dinho overran the ball.

Intelligence, toughness, fitness, a superb reader of the game, brilliant player. As damned good at his job as it gets.

Best defender in the prem history when you take all aspects into account! I remember Bellamy burning him from the halfway line and at that point I knew he was finished at elite level. I see him play against the greats of that era in the biggest of matches, especially at club level. Rio never failed to disappoint👊.

Rio the type of guy to break your leg and then tell you "you can walk it off innit bruv"

Absolute Rolls Royce. Even £30million (even in 2002) was a bargain when you see what he achieved.

He had it all. First touch. Close control. Composure. But first things first, he was an absolute rock in defense. Dominant in the air and brilliant in one on ones. It's all well and good being slick with the ball, but if you can't win your battles and protect your keeper, it's all for nothing. That's what defenders today forget. That their first job is to defend. They don't make em like Rio anymore.

You could talk about all maldini,nesta,vidic,terry.....etc but i genuinely rio was a class apart a real rolls royce of a defender does things so differently.....tackles like a rolls royce gets the ball like a rolls royce,....his style of play was so ahead of its time.....and oozing confidence when he wore that white suit to sign for man utd .....says all about him....

he was so ahead of his time in terms of passing and ball control, his ball technique is so underrated.... and most importantly he doesnt hide when his team needs him the most., unlike some specific liverpool defender who had had a good 1 season. let the liverpool guy perform at this level for a decade consistently then we'll talk

i think what’s important to note here is not only the quality of his defensive abilities, but also the people he’s defending against. i mean from 2 minutes in, you already see him against the likes of ronaldinho, david villa, fernando torres, henry, anelka, suarez and joe cole.

Up there with one of my favourite players of all time. Leader, winner and BALLER!

For me, after Nesta - there was this guy (last 20 years). Great video - love how clips are against top teams!

Very calm and concetrated. Permanent class

That toughness and athleticism 🙌, Now we have slabhead magu and lindelaugh

Attackers must be happy they don't have rio and vidic to deal with now a days

Itll be a long time before we see another Rio the guy was class aswel as tough.

Licha Following footsteps of legend FERDINAND🔥🔥

Tackling, agression, passing, reading the game, calm, leader, goals. Every aspect needed for a defender, he had it all. Most complete defender in pl, and best defender in pl.

Those tackles could easily sent you off in current football even slightiest mistake to the tackles could cause a penalty...damn old days was tough and hard

In this modern football, i think ferdinand can play very well. He's comfort with the ball, he also can pass n switch play. His speed just good for CB and his strenght is one of the atribut he has.
