He showed it to Terry; he just grabbed it and squeezed. Good scoring record too.

Him and Vidic are very similar, both also enjoy hurting people.. if Vidic has the choice between ball or man and ball.. its man and ball every time.. Rio is much more of a cultured player, but together its great. I used to really rate Carvalho though, now he was a bastard... again good reader of the game, lack of pace, but great at being all over a man..
