2:28Are you playing first or second? I play first. I play... I don't know. I don't know who I'm playing with. I never played this game. I think it would be difficult to play these games, huh? Because of the quality of some players. It's tough. It's tough to play. It's tough. Be careful. Because what they do, they're eager. So they clatter into you. They want to score the goal as well.

First read me the questions because I never did this before and I didn't watch the show. And then I tell you because I would think too much. Tell me just the first three questions. What do you mean? Because you ask me the questions, I never think about it. Give me the break.

5:07That's the point. It's a quick fire question. It's off the top of your head. Yeah, it's good. You like that? Okay. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Who was the best character in the changing room you ever played with? Just say the first name off your head. apart from me obviously someone from Soccer Aid? I don't know Rio Rio? Yeah Best derby you've ever played in? It must be your Partizan one eh? Partizan Red Star Yeah Red Star, Berger, Partizan yeah What's it like? I've never been obviously I've never been to it but is it an amazing atmosphere? Yeah Football in recent years in Serbia is not the same but it's very electric we have a hooligans on the left and right side of the stadium, on the opposite side, singing the whole game.

5:51To be fair, something before happened to you guys with Margaret Thatcher, isn't it? Yeah. It's like you have fans standing, singing the whole game, but obviously now with the rule, England has changed. So actually, yeah. We are still living in the 90s. So they're still fighting, are they? Yeah, they're still, yeah. But it's not that much as before. If you weren't a footballer, what would you have been? I don't know. I didn't have a second option. Just think about to be the football player. But I don't know. I would be in sport, something, definitely. I love sport. Sport is my life. Good. Who would you like to manage or coach if you had the chance of any club?

6:34United, now. You want to be United, now? Yeah, because I like things when they're difficult and I think to change from difficult to good, I think this is something which I like to do, yeah. One player you wish you'd played with? Ronaldinho. Oh, wow. Any changing room bust-ups? Did you ever have a fight? Did you ever have a fight? A bust-up, a changing room fight. Did you ever have a scrap with a player? Ah, yes. Who? In Manchester. Yeah. Yeah, I had with Anderson. What over? Was he winding you up?

7:43Yeah, I don't know. To be fair, there's a lot of stupid things happening in the dressing room, you know, and especially when it was the Queenie fortune day, it was Quinton, yeah. There's some, but they are not really for cameras. Your pre-match ritual, you definitely had a pre-match ritual. Yeah, I had, yeah. Obviously, I would think, visualise the game. That's, for me, very important. Before I go to the bus, I would go to the room, I have to be, like, by myself, like 15-20 minutes no music no anything just visualising and thinking what I'm going to have what's the opponent and what situation I'll have on the pitch how I should deal with them so that's good that's what's very important yeah and did you have any superstitions when you got to the ground or anything not really no favourite film do you watch box sets box box sets do you watch box sets what is box sets Netflix Like Netflix?

11:05tennis. You play tennis? I play tennis now. You play paddle? I play paddle as well. Everyone plays paddle. Yeah, I know. All football players, yeah. Biggest phobia? So phobia is what you're scared of? Height. You don't like heights? I don't like height. Best defender in the world right now? I don't know. I think because Dovan Dijk is doing consistently well for many years, I would say that he's one of the best and I don't know. I would say him, yeah. Is it true you gave your league cup medal up to Giuseppe Rossi? Yeah, because I just played 15 minutes, so I felt that I didn't deserve it and I think Giuseppe played a few games.

11:45I think he played like two games, three games. Wow. Because the only game I played, it was like 15 minutes coming on. In the final? In the final, Rudolf went out. And was he injured or was he just not in the bench? I think he was not on the bench. So you just gave him your medal? Yeah. That's kind, that. That's a good question. No, I felt like, you know, You have a medal but you didn't have five minutes playing in the game. I didn't feel that he's mine. That's how I felt. That says a lot about you, though, that. Was it difficult playing in Italy? I think it's always difficult, always to me, when I change the country and change the league.

12:21I always have that adaptation part of six months. In Inter it was really difficult, especially for the club. There was a lot of legends left the club. Samuel, Cordoba, Zanetti. Great players as well. Some great players, yeah. Actually, since the pre-season, I felt it was going to be a tough year. What is it like watching your son, Luca, play football? It's difficult. Difficult? Yeah, because he's playing centre defender and I see everything in terms of what he can do better. Do you coach him a lot? And, you know, I'm the person, what I see, I have to say. I cannot keep for myself. So I think he's learned now to accept that, yeah.

13:04But it's good. I like watching when I see his improvement. And I think in the last year, he improved a lot. Must put pressure on him, you being one of the great centre-backs. Or does he get used to it? I don't think so. Because, to be fair, in my house, we don't really talk much about football. We don't talk about how many trophies I've won. To be fair, I'm not much in the media. I told them always, people saying, your son has a pressure. I don't think he has a pressure. Actually, he has advantage. Everyone knows who he's dad. And first thing, what they're going to do, they're going to compare and see how good he is.

13:36So, you know, people will come to watch you and if you are good, you are good. Knowledge of the game, he's good at it. And yeah, I think he has a chance. Good. Who's the best football player you ever played with? Cristiano Ronaldo. No question. Yeah. And to be fair, hardest player against I played. In the training, I think actually me improving as a defender as well, part of that is down to Cristiano Ronaldo, Lovain Rooney, Louis Saka, I find it difficult, actually, training. The game was easy. What's next for Nemanja Vidic? What does five years look like? I don't know. I think I opened an opportunity for myself to be the coach or maybe to be tomorrow to work in the industry of football as sport director or even the Serbian president of the FA.

14:27that was planned a few years ago. It didn't happen, but maybe it could happen in the future. But that's something still related to the football. Obviously, what I'm doing outside business-wise, I would like to complete myself as well, doing something outside of the football, creating a company which is going to be not just successful, but it's going to be who I am as well. Everything I do, I like to do the best I can and to produce the quality. And I think in the business I'm doing now with apartments as well, that's what I achieved as well. to create good apartments, nice building which I'm going to be proud walking and be proud of what I built.

15:06Well, Vida, you should be proud of your football career. It was amazing. It's nice to read that from you, guys. It was great to be a teammate of yours. Thank you. Thank you as well, guys. Great to see you. I enjoyed it as well. Do you understand what I talk about? Yes. My English was okay, huh? Yes, very good. Yeah, of course it was. It was brilliant. You need to have these, apparently they're Serbian sweets. Apparently. What is it? I think, yeah, it could be Serbian, yeah. It is? Yeah. This is Serbian. This is all Serbian? No, this is not, I don't think. This is... It's an Eccles cake. That's an Eccles cake from Serbia.

15:40Yeah, cassini. Take some of this with you, if you want. You don't have to. No, I'm not eating sweets. I agree. I'm not eating sweets either. How are you getting back? I'll jump in with you. Yeah, yeah, of course.

15:59What would you have been if you hadn't have been a cricketer? Dead. Hello and welcome to the Overlap Stick to Cricket, brought to you by Betfair. I'll be joined by Alistair Cook, Sir Alistair Cook, David Lloyd and Phil Tufnell. Do you see Olly Pope strolling out at number three? Tuffers is more likely to get through his first 20 balls.
