Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic wants to complete double at Wembley
Manchester United captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 lifted his first Premier League trophy as a captain, and the Serbian is now looking forward to repeating the same feat in the final of the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona on May 28, 2011 at Wembley.
Vidic joined Manchester United back in 2006, and since then he has seen the ups and downs in Europe with the Red Devils. The Serbian skipper was part of the United team that won the final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 back in 2008 in Moscow and later next year was in
the side that lost the European competition against Barcelona at Rome.
The big centre back has established himself as one of the most important players at Old Trafford, and the extent of Ferguson’s faith him can be underlined by the fact that he was awarded the captaincy at the start of the 2010-11 season despite there being
much more senior players in the team. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 until he retired midway through the season, but on the pitch, Vidic led the team with distinction.
Vidic is someone who sets very high standards not just for himself, but also for the whole team. That is the reason he has been able to inspire his peers to success in a season which did not see Manchester United produce vintage football but did manage to
get the results. Vidic is now insistent that the team is not satisfied with just the Premier League and they all want to win the Champions League to cap off a fantastic season and take revenge from Barcelona for the defeat back in 2009.
He said, “We are celebrating but everyone is thinking about the next game, It is the biggest game of the whole year We have to come down after this excitement. We have to prepare as best as we can for Barcelona.”
Vidic admitted that losing the final in 2009 against Barcelona was one of the saddest moments of his career, and it would be a great chance for him and the whole team to wipe that off their mind with a win at the same stage against the Spanish champions.
“We know what it feels like to go to the final and lose. It was one of the saddest moments of my career, am sure all the players won't forget that,” said Vidic.
The Manchester United centre back admitted that Barcelona will not be an easy opponent, and his team will have its work cut out for them. Nemanja Vidic may be the most important player on the pitch in the final alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904.
The defensive duo of Manchester United will look to tame the lethal attack of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
The final will be played at Wembley on May 28, 2011 and considering it is Barcelona against United, the English champions will go into the final as underdogs.
