My team of the season
May 27, 2008
Its been a great season and there has been some great matches. Here is my team of the season.
Goalkeeper and defence..
GK-David James-absolutely immense in goal, began to have the odd lapse at the end of the season but still was instrumental for Portsmouth. RB-Micah Richards-Over the last few months hes had a few injury’s but at the start of the season he was a candidate for player of the season and if he stays or leaves City he has a bright future in front of him.CB-Rio Ferdinand-A rock at the back and United wouldn’t have won the league without him.CB-Nemanja Vidic-I couldn’t leave him out as he also has been a rock,his fearless defending really suits Rio and a great partnership has formed.LB-Gael Clichy-Really tight with him and Patrice Evra but the way Gael has grown up this has been brilliant and he will certainly have glory days with Arsenal.
Midfielder’s..
RM-Cristiano Ronaldo-Quite simply the best in the world, 41 goals and countless assists, he can turn a game in a instance and win it on his own.CM-Michael Essien-Really strong player and has been a constant performer for Chelsea,he has proved he can score goals in recent weeks.CM-Cesc Fabregas-What a player he is turning out to be,he carried Arsenal in the champions league, he ran out of steam toward the end but still had a great season.LM-Alexander Hleb-Arsenal have found a gem here and should do everything to keep him,his one touch passes carve open defences and he also scores goals.
Striker’s..
ST-Fernando Torres-What a player, he has adapted to life in England so quickly and if Rafa had of played him more they certainly would have some silverware come the end of the season.ST-Yakubu-Weird choice i know but i just feel when hes on his game there is no one better and his finishing is ten to none. He is vital to Everton if they want to push into the top four.
Manager..
Sir Alex Ferguson-10th title and he is the master!! It looked at times that they were looking jaded and tired but they hung on and his team went to Moscow and did the double.
Rio the best defender this year..?
May 26, 2008
Rio Ferdinand is looking like the new England captain and has also captained Unite this season but is he the best.
The best must be vocal and a rock at the back..
Rio has these qualities and he is also good on the ball. He lets Nemanja do all the dirty work like attacking the ball and sliding tackles while he cleans up everything. He is now one of the more mature players at Man U and he is a great leader of the young boys at the club. He is always very positive in interviews and never puts down his teamates.
Is he the best though..?
I think his performances at the back have been brilliant and the defence for me has been the real key to Man United winning the league. United have conceded the least goals and at the start of the season they kept 4 or 5 clean sheets which were vital as the attacking force weren’t playing well. He as played the whole season as well so i think he must be considered the best especially if United win the Champions League.
So Rio has matured into the best and i hope he takes that form into his England career and steps up to the captains role.
