Liverpool legend snubs Vidic-Ferdinand, rates Arsenal pair when naming greatest Premier League centre-back pairing
Which team has had the best centre-back pairing in the Premier League?
What Vidic said
The Serbian commanded that kind of respect, but one brave player dared to challenge him. Surprisingly, it was Anderson, as Vidić revealed in an interview with "The Overlap", as reported by Sportal.

"During my time at Manchester United, I only clashed with one teammate in the dressing room. It was Anderson. Something happened on the pitch, and we carried it over into the dressing room, but it wasn't a big deal." - Nemanja Vidić

The Brazilian played for United from 2007 to 2015 and is remembered as a wonder kid who never quite reached his full potential. He also played for Gremio, Porto, Fiorentina, Coritiba, Internacional, and Adana Demirspor.
It takes some nerve to go up against Vidić, a powerhouse of a player. Physically, Vidić was much larger than Anderson, and of course, the former Spartak Moscow and Red Star Belgrade player held captain status under Sir Alex Ferguson.
