Nemanja Vidic Teaches Us How To Defend Earling Haaland!

Former Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic has suggested he would 'stay close' to Manchester City ace Erling Haaland if he was tasked with marking the striker.

Haaland has been in exceptional form ever since his move from Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad last summer, with the Norwegian ace currently on course to break several Premier League records this season. The 22-year-old has registered 48 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions, including 32 in the top-flight.

With the majority of Haaland's goals coming from inside the penalty area, former United defender Vidic - who won 10 major trophies at Old Trafford - claimed it is important to ensure the City star is facing his own goal as often as possible.

"I would not let him go behind me," he said on Vibe with Five. "I think when he's facing the opponent's goal he's not very dangerous, I will always be close to him to not let him turn, but everything goes behind and that's what he likes.

Great points by Vidic. Who do you think would win the battle between him and Haaland? 😊

The same advice was given by Nesta.This shows how the great defenders think alike.

[jbart]

The most criminally underrated Defender of all time

[Planty]

Vidic knows his shit. Haaland would have trouble with a veteran center back

[roy_mezz-awake]

Vidic is sending him right back to Bryne

[vukforest]

Vida❤and❤ RIO were the absolute team itself!Never been before, never will be after, sadly…Appreciate you guys!

'He likes everything behind' - vidic 💀💀

[bomar]

Vidic even made ferdinand look half decent thats how good he was

[ralteh]

Not gonna lie, Vidic in his prime is definitely capable of pocketing Haaland

[olbapoli]

Vidic is right...see recent Madrid game v man city first leg. Rudiger always had haaland in front. Gave no space to run in behind.

[krupalbharti]

Thats victory for Guardiola!! The revolutionary manager!!

[liamramos]

I feel like Rudiger and his defending style is how every defender should play, extremely proactive in his movement in relation to the striker and having his head under Haalands arm and he done it to Salah as well. It should be the norm among defenders, mad how aggressive defending can just be clipped and made viral when it’s like hold on… it works, this should be every centre back.

[mattryan]

Interesting if I'm a defender I'll be watching this learning learning he was one of the best

[NNC]

Have to be the best centre back pairing in the premier league these two guys tell me different am not talking pick anyone am talking players that actually played together these two together were unreal
