if we can get Nani back on form..........
We've changed Valencia thread recently, so I'm wondering again if the OP is the greatest achievement of that user. He's famous.
MUTV: Who was your most difficult opponent?
Valencia: I've not met him yet.
hehehe

Is that an actual quote?? Please say yes... (I can't view that video, whatever it is)I do love the robotic emotionless bastard....
Yes it is.
I'm pretty sure he played against Barcelona in May...
I didn't expect something like that from him, too arrogant.

It's what I thought. Uncharacteristically arrogant. He's usually very humble.
You sure? I didn't see him
Hehe.
Anyway arrogant or not, that's a great quote imo. Shows his confidence level atm.
BTW: How was that not a foul on Rafael from Enrique? 0:48 in the vid.
Yup, he's sure met him (his most difficult opponent) against Barca in the CL final. In fact, he was made to look like technically insufficient and looked absolutely shellshocked by their skills and class on the ball as well as the pressing.
He's been great against practically everyone else though.
When was that quote made, though?
our best player right now, carry on your good work, Antonio.
He shouldve said Evra, when I was at Wigan.
Perhaps he should play Barcelona more then once to claim they are most difficult opponent he came across. You can't judge someone by only one match in which your whole team underperformed and opponent controlled match from first to the last minute.
Ok, so that's official, it was a poor interview and he should have been asked: "Who was your most difficult opponent you've played against at least twice when your team performed well and opponents didn't control match from the first to last minute?"
Nah we didnt do that. We were simply outplayed.
Fabio was superb.
Not exactly arrogant, I think; he's more like trying to test himself.
He did have a tough match vs Baarcelona in May, though, and I remember Evra keeping him quiet once.

Uncharacteristic quote from him.
If he said he didn't meet opponent so difficult to cope with perhaps he wants another shot against Barcelona before he claims they are his thoughest opponent. For the teams he played multiple times there's obviously not one fullback that stuck in his mind as someone that gives him hard time whenever he plays against him.
That's why I said they controlled match from the first to the last minute.
Doesnt mean we underperformed.
See that's the reason I don't post more because can't explain my thoughs the best way I want (I hate English grammar).
I meant they controlled match which means they outplayed us, overrun us completely and by that we underperformed, meaning we didn't perform on our usual level because of their supremacy.
I remember when Enrique had him in his pocket against Newcastle.
Its just a fun/light hearted quote by Valencia.He is very humble.
Can't understand people with "uncharacteristic/Unlike him/arrogant"
Not sure when it was, I remember it because I was thinking 'feck me who is this beast of a LB'.
For Enrique being a beast of LB - Valencia certainly caused him problems. If that was Evra that had let his player go by him at the 30 second mark in that video, he'd have been vilified for letting him go onto his stronger side. Sometimes very good players will beat an equally good player, that's football.
Anyhoo - I love that quote people are saying it's arrogant and didn't expect it from him. I think it's fantastic he is showing that confidence.

Funny answer
I've got no problem with any of our players having a bit of arrogance. It's clear his "trouble" earlier this season was a lack of confidence in beating his man so over confidence will do him some gone.
When exactly?
He has been amazing since he started playing on the wing again, so I don't know what you mean, to be honest.
Nah come on, he's been great for te last few months but for whatever reason he was very poor in the first few months of the season.
You think so because he was our first choice right-back and Young and Nani were in top form...
In fairness, he didn't really start playing well until late October/November. Refused to take anyone on at all early on, and I guarantee he didn't start & finish more than 5 matches at right back in that period.
The fact that this guy gets moved to RB when Nani or whoever else come on to the right wing just shows how important he is sometimes
The move to RB was what started his brief run of poor form. Once he got back into the swing of things on the flank he didn't look back.
You what pal?
I think he's saying the OP was daft.
I thought so too but couldn't tell from that poorly worded sentence.
Hardly daft considering he wasn't producing the end product when he first came and now he is and hence is a fecking good player as I stated.
