Beast, remember when we bought Ruud and I wrote a comparison between defenders in Spain, Italy and England? Remember how I said in order for Ruud to score goals he had to abandon his methods in England where he scored against defenses that body check forwards or use their body as a goal shield whereas in Spain, defenders go for the ball? Ruud had to be a little more patient in Spain before shooting the ball so quickly and redirect its direction first then shoot?
Vidic defended EPL style, he defended the ball brilliantly had it been an English type striker. Someone would have taken a shot instantly, he closed down the space very well, but Eto'o responded with his Spanish type instincts. He did it so brilliantly, he did it the same way a legendary striker would. Terrific goal by a die hard football fan, let alone a class striker.
Every single Manchester United fan considered the defeat a direct result of the goal.
I can't believe the criticism and lack of faith he received on the final day of the Champions League.
