      Duncan Ferguson has to be one of the only players in PL history where you’d prefer him to score because that could take some of his anger and viciousness away. Like you wouldn’t like to be 1-0 down vs Everton but an angry Duncan Ferguson could end your career on or off the pitch. You could play brilliantly against him and be dominant in the game but as soon as you went off the pitch, he’d try to knock your head off your shoulders.

  • @caeserromero3013
    @caeserromero3013 Год назад +26

    There's a distinction between 'Hard' and 'Dirty'. Costa ain't hard, just dirty. Hard men can take it as well as dish it out. You never see a real hard man play act. They even try to hide it when they really are hurt. Like when Pearce broke his leg and walked off the pitch. No rolling on the ground, no crying, no stretcher....WALKED off the pitch....With a broken leg.

    • @cockoffgewgle4993
      @cockoffgewgle4993 4 месяца назад

      That's just a cultural difference. Costa had many scraps with Ramos and Pepe in Madrid derbies. Diving and playacting doesn't make you not hard, it just makes you smart. Defenders were scared of Costa. He was a big strong guy who was constantly throwing arms and elbows and squaring up to people.
      It's all relative to the times and what was allowed at that time. But there's also a reason there isn't many strikers on this list.

      Interesting. I get the point ur trying to make but it's still ur personal perspective on the topic of ''hard man'' persona specifically pertaining to ur distinction between hard & dirty in ur comment. Im not saying ur wrong.....im saying it's arguable, for example lets take a player like the Portuguese centre-back Pepe...I consider Pepe a hard & dirty player. Ur distinction between "hard" & "dirty" implies that a hard man type player has to have virtue and not resort to dirty antics on the field, which I respectfully disagree with.

      Makes it even more impressive what Torres did to him. Don’t get me wrong, United dominated most times they played, but when Torres had his way, he made it clear Vidic wasn’t getting close to him. And then you have Messi but that’s mainly what Messi did to the entire United team. Every time Messi picked up the ball, Rio and Vidic both looked as if they’d made the biggest mistake of their lives, not closing him down on the edge of the box and when they tried to, Messi just put the ball in the net. Best team in England for years and Barcelona absolutely dominates them. If they didn’t play Tiki-Taka, Barcelona would’ve scored 7.
