5. RIO FERDINAND

Birthdate: 07 Nov 1978
Birthplace: Peckham, London
Position: Defender
Appearances: 309
Goals: 7
Joined United: 22 Jul 2002
United Debut: 27 Aug 2002 v Zalaegerszeg (H)
International England

Armed with elegance, pace and an astute ability to read the game, Rio Ferdinand is one of the finest defenders in world football.

The Peckham-born star burst onto the Premiership scene with West Ham United under the guidance of Harry Redknapp before being snapped up by Leeds United for £18million in November 2000.

The 2002 World Cup provided Rio with the stage to make the transformation from budding talent to accomplished defender, and his performances in Japan convinced Sir Alex to part with £30million.

Although initially hampered by injury, Rio found his feet towards the end of his first season, as United came back from the dead to overtake Arsenal and win a 15th league title.

In September 2003 disaster struck. The defender missed a routine drugs test and, despite appealing, was banned from football for eight months in January 2004.

Since returning from suspension, Rio has consistently justified his tag as a world-class defender. He's also chipped in with valuable goals, perhaps most dramatically with an injury-time winner against Liverpool in January 2006.

Although an increasingly potent threat from set-pieces, Rio’s main asset remains his leadership in defence, a skill that has made him a solid foundation for both United and England and seen him handed the captaincy for club and country on numerous occasions.

In May 2008, Ferdinand signed a new five-year contract, keeping him at Old Trafford until 2013. Six days later he went on to captain United to Champions League glory in Moscow. It was a fitting way to end a near flawless season for the centre-back.

His good form continued into the 2008/09 campaign, with Ferdinand playing a crucial role in United's record-breaking clean-sheet run. Certainly, without his consistent performances at the back, the Reds may not have gone on to win an 18th league title or reach a second successive European final. Sadly Sir Alex's men lost to Barcelona in Rome, although things may well have been different had Ferdinand been fully fit (a calf injury hampered Rio's preparations).

Ferdinand: Aku Pecundang yang Buruk
Rabu, 5/8/2009 | 04:51 WIB

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Kalah dan menang itu soal wajar dalam sepak bola. Namun, bagi bek Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, kalah berarti sebuah bencana. Orangtuanya pun menjadi korban kekesalannya saat menelan kekalahan.

Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan majalah Zoo, pemain yang sering menjadi kapten MU itu mengakui bahwa ia tidak bisa menyaksikan dirinya kalah dalam hal apa pun. Jika kalah, hal yang seharusnya tak dilakukan oleh seorang olahragawan sejati pun bisa saja terjadi.

"Aku benci kalah. Ketika aku kalah, orangtuaku tak dapat menemuiku selama berhari-hari. Aku tidak mau bicara kepada mereka," ungkap Ferdinand kepada majalah Zoo.
"Mereka mengirim SMS kepadaku dan bilang mereka tahu aku gelisah tapi hanya ingin bilang halo. Aku tidak akan membalasnya, aku (bersikap) buruk saat kalah. Tanya petugas di lapangan atau orang lain," tambah pemain yang pernah dihukum FA karena mencederai petugas lapangan di Stamford Bridge itu.

Kebiasaan itu ternyata juga terjadi ketika ia tidak berstatus sebagai pemain. Saat menonton pertandingan atau melihat jagoannya kalah, ia bisa juga bersikap emosional. Sialnya, ia tidak bisa mengubah kebiasaannya itu.

"Jika aku berjalan dari tempat latihan dan aku kalah, aku tahu orang akan melihatku dan mengira, 'Ya, dia kalah hari ini'. Aku tidak bisa mengubahnya," sambungnya.

Untungnya Rio tak selalu mengumbar emosinya itu. Kadang kala, ia juga bisa mengeremnya, seperti ketika timnya lawan Wigan, menjelang akhir musim lalu. Ferdinand yang tak bermain dalam laga tersebut merasa panas mendengar suporter Wigan memperolok MU saat mereka tertinggal oleh gol Hugo Rodallega di menit 28. Ketika MU berbalik unggul lewat gol Carlos Tevez dan Michael Carrick, Ferdinand memilih pulang dan menghindari aksi berlebihan di hadapan pendukung tuan rumah.

Meski demikian, tetap saja ia tak mau menutupi bahwa dirinya memang payah saat menelan kekalahan. "Aku penonton yang buruk, pecundang yang buruk... sangat buruk," pungkasnya.

Rio Ferdinand Diincar Madrid & Barcelona

VIVAnews - Manchester United tampaknya akan kembali menghadapi ujian seperti ketika coba mempertahankan Cristiano Ronaldo. Kali ini, Rio Ferdinand giliran akan menguji MU.

Bek MU dan tim nasional Inggris itu menjadi incaran dua klub raksasa Spanyol: Barcelona dan Real Madrid. Rio tahu pasti bahwa hijrah ke La Liga akan semakin meningkatkan karier serta menggembungkan koceknya.

"Rio tahu pasti risiko yang akan ditanggungnya. Ini bukan hanya tantangan baru, tapi juga akan menghadirkan banyak proyek di luar lapangan. Apalagi, ia berada di ujung karirnya," kata sebuah sumber kepada The Sun.

Pria 30 tahun itu masih terikat kontrak bersama MU sampai 2013. Tapi, United masih ragu untuk memperpanjang kontrakya dengan alasan usia. Juga karena Rio belakangan sering dilanda cedera.

Kepindahan ke Spanyol akan semakin meningkatkan nilai jual Rio. Seperti halnya ketika David Beckham dan Cristiano Ronaldo dieksploitasi oleh Madrid.

"Rio punya rencana bisnis yang besar. Dan itu akan bisa diwujudkannya jika ia hijrah ke klub besar di Spanyol," lanjut sang sumber.

Ferdinand selama ini punya beberapa bisnis seperti perusahaan rekaman dan agen pemain. Dia juga segera merilis perusahaan manajamen gaya hidup.

Proyek lainnya yakni di bidang media dengan meluncurkan #5 Magazine. Majalah ini ditunjang teknologi mutakhir.

Mantan pemain West Ham ini juga punya proyek sosial Rio Ferdinand Live The Dream yang didirikan tahun lalu. Yayasan ini membantu anak-anak muda kurang beruntung agar bisa berpartisipasi di aktivitas olahraga, kesenian serta kebudayaan.

Rilis yayasan itu Desember 2008 lalu mampu menghasilkan sumbangan 495 poundsterling tiap orang. Perdana Menteri Inggris Gordon Brown menjadi pembicara tamu dalam acara itu.

Ferdinand Jalani Latihan Resmi

Fetra Hariandja - Okezone
MANCHESTER - Barisan belakang Manchester United kemungkinan kembali sulit diterobos striker lawan pekan depan. Tim dokter klub memberikan izin kepada bek Rio Ferdinand kembali kembali latihan resmi pekan ini.

Bek Timnas tersebut harus menjalani pemulihan cedera paha, bulan lalu. Saat itu, pelatih The Red Devils Sir Alex Ferguson menegaskan cedera Ferdinand merupakan pukulan berat bagi timnya. Benar saja, United harus menelan kekalahan perdana musim ini setelah diredam klub promosi Burnley 0-1.

Seperti dilansir situs resmi klub, Senin (7/9/2009), Ferdinand melakukan latihan dengan mengendarai sepeda di sekitar pusat latihan, Carrington. Selama menjalani latihan tersebut, Ferdinand dalam kondisi yang baik.

Mantan bek Leeds United dan West Ham United tersebut kemungkinan akan kembali dipercaya Ferguson menghadapi Tottenham Hotspur pada lanjutan Premier League. Minggu (13/9/2009) dinihari.

Selain itu, Ferdinand juga bisa diturunkan kala United menantang Besiktas pada Babak Penyisihan Grup B Liga Champions.

Jelang Pensiun, Ferdinand Siapkan Bisnis

DEFENDER Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand, ternyata sudah melakukan persiapan matang untuk menyambut masa pensiunnya nanti. Dia mempersiapkan berbagai bisnis, bahkan sebagian sudah mulai berjalan.

Gerekan bisnis Ferdinand itu bisa menyeretnya ke Spanyol. Apalagi, dia
menjadi target Barcelona dan Real Madrid. MU kemungkinan akan melepaskannya, mengingat usianya sudah 30 tahun dan sering cedera. Jika itu terjadi, bisnis Ferdinand akan semakin kondusif.

Ferdinand terikat kontrak dengan MU sampai 2013. Namun, pengalaman David Beckham, Michael Owen, dan Cristiano Ronaldo yang pindah ke Spanyol, bisa menjadi faktor yang mendorongnya untuk ikut pindah.

Sebuah sumber dekat kepada The Sun mengatakan, "Ferdinand bisa saja jadi ingin mengikuti langkah mereka. Ini tak hanya akan menjadi tantangan barunya di akhir karier, tapi juga akan menguntungkan bisnisnya. Ferdinand punya rencana bisnis yang besar yang mulai berbentuk. Bisnisnya akan berkembang jika dia pindah ke Spanyol."

Bisnis Ferdinand menyangkut industri rekaman dan agen sepak bola. Dia juga berencana mengembangkan perusahaan manajemen gaya hidup. Proyek lainnya adalah majalah #5 yang akan memanfaatkan teknologi digital.

Selain itu, dia juga punya Yayasan Rio Ferdinand Mimpi Kehidupan. Yayasan ini akan membantu anak-anak muda dari masyarakat miskin agar punya kesempatan dalam olahraga.

Rencananya, Desember nanti, Ferdinand akan melakukan launching salah satu bisnisnya. Diberitakan, setiap tamu akan dijatah konsumsi sebesar 495 pounds (sekitar Rp 8,2 juta). Acara itu rencananya juga akan dihadiri Perdana Menteri Inggris, Gordon Brown.

Ferdinand tampaknya sadar benar, masa kejayaan sepak bola cepat berakhir. Maka, dia harus segera menyiapkan perahu bisnis. Apalagi, banyak kisah para bintang sepak bola jatuh miskin setelah tak bermain.

Ferdinand bukan satu-satunya. Banyak pemain yang melakukan hal sama. Bekas striker AC Milan, George Weah, membuka rumah makan di mana-mana, termasuk di Amerika Serikat. Sedangkan mantan kiper MU, Peter Schmeichel, juga berbisnis setelah pensiun, termasuk mengelola peternakan. David Beckham malah cekatan dalam berbisnis, terutama di sektor fashion. (SUN)

Ferdinand: Cukup Satu Klub Besar di Manchester

DEDENDER Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand, mengaku tak terpengaruh oleh euforia tetangganya, Manchester City. Menurutnya, City tak akan menjadi klub besar dalam waktu singkat, meski punya banyak uang.

Soal ancaman City kepada eksistensi MU sebagai klub dominan di kota itu, Ferdinand juga tak takut. Menurutnya, Manchester hanya cocok didominasi satu klub besar. Dan, Manchester United sudah membangun kebesaran itu, juga sulit disaingi rival sekotanya, Manchester City.

Kepada The Daily Mirror, dia bicara cukup tajam soal Manchester City dan timnya sendiri. Berikut petikan wawancaranya.

Manchester City sedang bergairah. Mungkinkan City menggeser popularitas MU di kota ini? (DM)

"Kota Manchester tak cukup besar untuk didominasi dua klub besar. Namun, harus diakui Manchester City punya suporter yang loyal."

Apakah setelah investor Timor Tengah membeli Manchester City, suporter mereka makin banyak?

"Mungkin. Mereka kan belum memiliki kebesaran. Sekarang, mereka sedang berkpikir bisa memanfaatkan semua uang yang diinvestasikan untuk meraih sukses."

Menurutmu, akankah investasi itu bisa membawa kesuksesan City?

"Uang terkadang tak bisa membeli kesuksesan. Ada juga kasus yang bisa sukses seperti Chelsea. Tapi, mereka juga butuh proses. Mereka mengakhiri kompetisi di urutan keempat, kemudian turun ke ke-5, naik lagi ke urutan ke-3, baru juara."

Apakah City tak bisa menulang sukses Chelsea?

"Kala investor datang, City berada di posisi berbeda. Maka, biarlah waktu yang akan menentukan apakah mereka akan sukses. Jika mereka meraih trofi musim ini, maka selamat buat mereka. Tapi, tetap saja kamilah yang akan meraih trofi bergengsi."

Manchester City memang sudah mengeluarkan dana sebesar 250 juta pounds (sekitar Rp 4,1 triliun). Beberapa bintang pun didatangkan. Maka, banyak yang menilai City akan menjadi pesaing berat Manchester United.

Namun, Ferdinand masih percaya dengan kemampuan timnya. Meski tak banyak membeli pemain, menurutnya pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson punya pertimbangan matang. Pemain yang dia datangkan juga sangt signifikan, seperti Luis Antonio Valaencia, Gabriel Obertan, dan Michael Owen.

Apakah pembelian yang dilakukan Feguson sudah cukup?

"Dalam dua musim terakhir, setiap selesai bermain lawan Wigan, kami selalu membicarakan kemampuan Valencia. Dia kuat, cepat, dan langsung menikam. Maka, gaya permainannya cocok dengan MU. Semoga, dia bisa bermain bagus seperti di Wigan."

Bagaimana dengan Obertan?

"Aku pernah menyaksikan dia bermain membela Timnas Perancis U-21 lawan Inggris beberapa waktu lalu. Dia terlihat benar-benar bagus. Sejujurnya, aku tak mengerti jalan pikiran Ferguson, tapi aku yakin dia sedang memiliki jajaran pemain potensial."

Pendapatmu tentang Michael Owen?

"Bersama Michael Owen, banyak suporter MU yang teringat-ingat sejarah cederanya. Banyak juga yang masih ingat bahwa dia pernah memperkuat Liverpool. Tapi, Anda harus menilainya dengan lebih obyektif. Jika Anda meraih gelar, Anda tak bisa mengatakan bahwa itu karena ada mantan pemain Liverpool."

Kamu optimistis Owen akan bermanfaat buat MU?

"Aku yakin dia akan sering mencetak gol. Jika melihat rata-rata golnya, Owen merupakan salah satu striker terbaik di Premier League. Kami mendapatkan orang yang akan mencetak banyak gol. Itulah yang kami inginkan."

Ferdinand Ternyata Fans Liverpool

VIVAnews - Pengakuan mengejutkan datang dari Rio Ferdinand. Bek tangguh Manchester United ini ternyata seorang fans Liverpool saat masih muda.

Kepada MUTV, Rabu 9 September 2009, bek berusia 30 tahun ini coba membeberkan masa kecil dulu. Ferdinand mengakui jika bintang-bintang Liverpool saat itu memang lebih mentereng dibanding Manchester United.

"Saat masih kecil, Liverpool tim yang bagus dengan bintang macam John Barnes dan John Aldridge," ujar Ferdinand.

"United tidak memenangkan apapun saat itu. Dalam masa saya itu, semua teman saya adalah fans Liverpool," tambahnya.

Tak ingin membaut pendukung Setan Merah kebakaran jenggot, Ferdinand dengan cepat menegaskan jika dirinya saat itu lebih memandang sosok pemainnya dibanding klub.

"Saya lebih seorang fan pemain-pemain dibanding klub-klub. Pemain seperti John Barnes, Paul Ince, Paul Gascoigne," lanjutnya.

"Tapi dengan cepat United datang dalam hidup saya. Saya mengenakannya (kostum MU). Jika saya tidak mengambil kesempatan itu, saya mungkin tak akan mendapatkannya lagi," pungkasnya.

Ferdinand mengawali karir sepakbola profesionalnya di West Ham United pada 1995. Tampil gemilang dengan Leeds United (2000-2002) membuat Sir Alex Ferguson memboyongnya ke Old Trafford.

Rio Ferdinand must step up or lose place, says Sir Alex Ferguson

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2009/10/16/1255704884828/Rio-Ferdinand-001.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Rio Ferdinand that he needs to "step up" or run the risk of losing his place for both Manchester United and England. Ferguson is concerned about Ferdinand's "uncharacteristic errors" this season and his recurrent fitness problems, admitting that the England international was going through the most difficult period of his seven years at Old Trafford.

Ferdinand was dropped from United's last home game against Sunderland, with Ferguson admitting that he is finding it increasingly difficult to leave out Jonny Evans. Now three weeks from his 31st birthday, Ferdinand has also been troubled by back and groin injuries, playing in only 20 of the last 42 games for his club and national team, and only four internationals in the last year.

"I don't think he's had any spell like this since he joined the club, that's for sure. So it's an unusual experience for him," Ferguson said. "I'm sure he's taken it on board, the criticism he's had, and with his ability and experience he should be coping with that type of thing. We all go through little phases where we need to correct our game or take a step up and I'm sure he'll do that. I think all players worry about their form and if they're making mistakes and getting criticism they have to [worry]. They wouldn't be human if they didn't."

Ferguson was asked whether he considered it to be over the top that Ferdinand's place at the World Cup next summer had come into question but the United manager accepted it was a legitimate issue. "Well, he has to get good form. That's an important issue for the coach [Fabio Capello] because I think probably in defence you [England] have more options than any other position. So he will need to get his form right."

Capello has spoken to Ferdinand about the improvements he expects and Ferguson added: "I don't know if it's overconfidence. I think there's always been a casual part in Rio's game ever since he was a kid. It's been an advantage to him at times. At other times, though, particularly in his younger days, it was a weakness but in his time with us his development and maturity has brought about some outstanding form, consistently, for quite a long time.

"Maybe the point made about missing games [is right]. It takes a little bit away from you but that is the challenge now. He's played his two games for England [against Ukraine and Belarus] now and if he gets into a run of games I'm sure the rhythm will come back. Games will definitely help, there's no question about that. He's not had many [sticky spells]. But he will get through it, I'm sure of that.

Ferdinand is expected to return to the team when United take on Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford today but Wayne Rooney will be missing because of the calf injury he suffered while on international duty. "We are trying to get him fit for Wednesday [the Champions League tie against CSKA Moscow] but I have my doubts," Ferguson reported. "He should be fit for Liverpool next weekend and we won't take any chances in Moscow."

The Bolton game will also see a fit-again Edwin van der Sar making his first appearance of the season, with Ferguson suggesting it is "not a bad thing" for Ben Foster to be taken out of the spotlight after his erratic performances deputising for the Dutchman.

"I still think he is the best English goalkeeper around. But Edwin has the experience. He and [Peter] Schmeichel have been the two best goalkeepers in the history of this club. I'm sure now Edwin is back that will give the players in front confidence about who's behind them."

Ferguson has submitted his explanation to the Football Association for his criticisms of the referee Alan Wiley after United's 2-2 draw against Sunderland a fortnight ago. An announcement is expected next week about whether he will face a disciplinary charge and Ferguson refused to discuss the matter.

Ferdinand: Film Tak Ganggu Permainanku

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/10/19/0354358p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Bek Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand menegaskan, dirinya masih memiliki semangat dan komitmen untuk bersaing di laga penting. Aktivitas sampingannya di bidang film, katanya, tak mengganggu profesionalismenya sebagai pemain bola.

Dia mengatakan hal itu karena banyaknya kritik yang ia terima dalam beberapa pekan terakhir, berkenaan dengan penampilannya yang tidak konsisten bersama "The Red Devils". Bahkan, pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson sendiri sempat mengkritiknya.

Ferdinand sering menghabiskan waktu luangnya dengan bekerja sebagai seorang produser eksekutif sebuah film. Meskipun demikian, ia menegaskan bahwa dirinya berkomitmen terhadap karier sepak bolanya.

"Film adalah sesuatu yang jauh dari sepak bola dan hal yang terpisah. Aku tahu di mana meletakkan berbagai prioritasku. Pertama dan terutama, aku adalah seorang pemain bola. Memenangkan pertandingan merupakan tujuan dan akhir dari semuannya bagiku," katanya kepada News of the World.

Pemain Tim Nasional Inggris itu juga menegaskan, keinginannya untuk bertanding tidak berkurang dan memenangkan berbagai pertandingan tetap menjadi prioritasnya. "Memenangkan berbagai pertandingan penting buatku dan aku sudah terbiasa menjadi bagian dari sebuah kesuksesan Inggris," ungkapnya. (NOTW)

Beckham: Jangan Ragukan Ferdinand
Muchamad Syuhada - Okezone

http://bola.okezone.com/images-data/content/2009/10/19/51/266820/LY3h1zcojE.jpg

LOS ANGLES - Geladang LA Galaxy sekaligus mantan kapten Timnas Inggris David Beckham memberikan dukungannya terhadap Rio Ferdinand. Dia meminta agar semua pihak berhenti mengejek dan tidak meragukan kapasitas bek 30 tahun itu.

Ferdinand yang belakangan tampuil buruk baik di leval klub maupun Timnas mendapat sorotan tajam dari berbagai kalangan. Terakhir mulai terdengar suara sumbang yang meminta agar posisinya sebagai starter di skuad The Three Lions segera dicabut.

Atas hal itu Becks (panggilan Beckham) merasa perlu ikut angkat bicara. Dia tidak ingin kondisi mantan rekannya di Manchester United tersebut semakin jatuh dan terpojok.

Becks mengatakan kalau Ferdinand tetaplah pemain yang hebat. Baginya, kesalahan adalah sebuah hal yang wajar dan biasa dilakukan oleh siapa saja termasuk Ferdinand.

"Kesalahan selalu terjadi hampir di setiap pertandingan. Kalian semua juga pasti melakukannya, bukankah tidak ada seorang pun yang sempurna?" ungkap Becks seperti disitat Tribalfootball, Senin (19/10/2009).

"Rio adalah pemain hebat secara fisik maupun mental. Saya tidak sedikitpun ragu akan kemampuannya, dia pasti bisa melalui situasi sulit ini segera," pungkasnya lagi. (msy)

Don't give up the day job, Rio: Ferdinand has to forget the red carpet and fix his poor form

Asked recently about suggestions that Rio Ferdinand may not make the England squad for the 2010 World Cup, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s response was telling.

‘Well, he has to get good form,’ said Ferguson. ‘That’s an important issue for the coach because I think probably in defence you’ve maybe got more options than other positions. He will need to get his form right.’

Losing his grip: Rio Ferdinand is beaten by Fernando Torres on Sunday (above) and suffers as his casual pass allows Craig Bellamy to score in the Manchester derby last month (below)

The notion of Ferdinand, England’s best central defender for the past two or three years, not going to South Africa is preposterous. Ferguson knows that better than anyone.

But his comments on the matter - made after Ferdinand erred for England during the defeat in Ukraine earlier this month - had a clear and obvious message. It is time for the centre half to get his game together again.

Ferdinand has long had to live with accusations of sloppiness and casualness.
Some of it has been warranted, especially in his early years, and much of it has not.

It is understood, however, that Ferguson feels Ferdinand has begun to believe his own favourable publicity again in recent months and that this has contributed to the problems that have recently blighted his season.

Certainly, Ferdinand’s latest Candid Camera moment in the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday was a stark reminder of how far he has fallen from his own high standards this season.

Starting from a reasonable position as Yossi Benayoun played Fernando Torres in, it was remarkable not that Ferdinand lost the race but how quickly he realised he was in big trouble.

Torres is sprinter quick, of course, but the Ferdinand of last season would have leaned on the striker with his shoulder - a totally legal act - and guided him away from goal, making the shooting angle tighter and tighter.
Young contenders

On Sunday, though, Ferdinand was grappling and grabbing at Torres’ arm from the start. It seemed a shocking admission that he immediately knew he was losing the race and had the Spaniard not remained upright long enough to score Ferdinand could easily have been sent off.

As Torres set off to celebrate the game’s decisive moment, Ferdinand was left on his knees. He looked shell-shocked. He should not have been. Something like this has been coming all season.

Ferdinand himself has spoken through his newspaper columns about his problems this season.

‘The hunger and desire is still there to maintain my standards and nothing has changed,’ Ferdinand told the News of the World nine days ago before stressing to The Sun a few days later: ‘Every time I get criticism I come out in the end a better player. I am sure it will happen again.’

There is nothing wrong with Ferdinand choosing to defend himself, of course, but what is interesting is that the first interview was given to promote a film he has funded and produced with England team-mate Ashley Cole and the second, at least in part, was given as he stood on a red carpet at the movie’s launch last Thursday.

Given that Ferdinand had only arrived back from a Champions League victory in CSKA Moscow at about 3.30am following a four-hour flight, his decision to attend a celebrity event in London that night was a peculiar one.

With United not due at Anfield until Sunday lunchtime, Ferdinand did not break any club rules in attending the event. Nor is there any suggestion that he did not have his manager’s permission.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/26/article-0-06ED4C95000005DC-48_235x399.jpg

Out on the town: Rio at the London premiere of his film Dead Man Running with partner Rebecca Ellison

Nevertheless, United trained in Manchester on Friday lunchtime. Would Ferdinand’s trip to London, coming on the back of a tough game in Moscow, have affected him that day? Would it have spilled over to Sunday?

We will never know for certain but the evidence does not look too favourable from a distance.

Ferdinand is not the only footballer to have outside interests. He is intelligent and rounded - something that we increasingly ask our footballers to be. It is certainly likely that he will be doing something more worthwhile than running a pub when he retires while his own football foundation continues to do ever more for under-privileged children in this country.

Nevertheless, Ferdinand loves his football and has spoken of his desire to extend his career for another five or six years.

That being the case, it might be time to re-examine the priorities that he insists still have football right at the very top. United certainly need Ferdinand at the top his game over the next six months. England’s need, meanwhile, will be even greater in South Africa next summer.

Having struggled with back and groin injuries in recent times, Ferdinand’s body is looked after carefully at Old Trafford. But he is 31 in less than a fortnight. He is at the age when small factors can begin to make an altogether more noticeable difference.

It has been an inauspicious start to the season. One would imagine it can only get better.

Fergie questions Rio form
Defender could be facing United and England axe

http://img.skysports.com/09/09/218x298/Rio-Ferdinand-2_2360258.jpg

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned Rio Ferdinand's form amid reports that the defender could be dropped by club and country.

The England centre-back has come under scrutiny after a series of blunders over the past month, which have led to suggestions that he could be past his best.

Ferdinand gifted Craig Bellamy a goal in the Manchester derby in September and then his error led to England goalkeeper Robert Green being sent off against Ukraine at the start of October.

The 30-year-old was also at fault on Sunday when he could not match Fernando Torres for pace and power as the Spaniard scored Liverpool's opener in a 2-0 win.

As a result Ferguson has questioned whether Ferdinand, who has struggled with injuries, is producing the required displays to earn a place in the England squad for the 2010 World Cup.

The United boss said in The Sun: "He has to get good form. That's an important issue for the coach to pick the right team.

"In defence you've maybe got more options than other positions. He'll need to get his form right."

Torres Ancam Karier Ferdinand

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Bek Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand, dinilai bertanggung jawab atas terjadinya gol penyerang Liverpool, Fernando Torres. Pelatih MU, Alex Ferguson, akan mengevaluasi posisi Ferdinand di skuad utama. Bila kehilangan jam terbang reguler, Ferdinand juga terancam kehilangan tempat di skuad Inggris untuk Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan.

MU menyambangai Liverpool dalam lanjutan Premier League, akhir pekan lalu. Saat itu, pertandingan berjalan alot hingga terjadinya gol Torres di menit ke-65.

Gol bermula ketika Torres berhasil menguasai umpan Yossi Benayoun di sisi kiri pertahanan MU. Ia kemudian masuk ke kotak penalti dan dalam kawalan Ferdinand, ia melesakkan bola ke gawang Edwin van der Sar.

Ferguson sulit mengakui gol itu tanpa menyalahkan Ferdinand. Pasalnya, ia tak habis pikir melihat Ferdinand yang berada dalam kondisi sangat bugar, tak mampu mengawal Torres yang bermain dalam kondisi kebugaran 80 persen akibat cedera pangkal paha.

Ia pun mengancam akan mencadangkan Ferdinand bila tak kunjung memperbaiki performa. Menurutnya, nama besar dan status bintang tak akan menyelamatkan karier Ferdinand bila ia tak mengimbanginya dengan penampilan prima.

"Ia (Ferdinand) harus mendapatkan bentuk (permainan) yang bagus. itu hal penting untuk pelatih dalam memilih tim yang benar. Dalam soal pertahanan, Anda mungkin mendapatkan lebih banyak pilihan dibanding posisi lain. Ia harus memulihkan performanya," ujar Ferguson.

Selama belum puas dengan hasil evaluasi Ferdinand, Ferguson diyakini akan memberikan kesempatan lebih besar kepada bek muda asal Irlandia utara, Johnny Evans untuk menggantikan Ferdinand mendampingi Nemanja Vidic di jantung pertahanan "Setan Merah". Bagi Ferdinand, kursi cadangan di MU bisa berarti batal berangkat ke Afrika Selatan. (SCN)

Tertekan, Ferdinand Bisa Tinggalkan MU

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2009/04/30/70003_rio_ferdinand_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Harry Redknapp mendambakan reuni bareng bek Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand. Manajer Tottenham Hotspur ini berniat untuk memboyong Ferdinand ke Spurs akhir musim nanti.

Seperti dilansir Daily Mail, Redknapp rupanya tengah memantau kondisi terakhir Ferdinand di Old Trafford. Mantan anak asuhannya di West Ham United ini memang tengah dijadikan bahan kritikan dalam dua bulan terakhir.

Performa Ferdinand di level klub dan timnas Inggris sedang menjadi bulan-bulanan. Ferdinand dianggap tak mencerminkan bek tangguh seperti dalam beberapa tahun lalu.

Puncaknya, kekalahan 2-0 dari Liverpool dinilai menjadi indikasi tepat menurunnya performa Ferdinand. Bek 30 tahun ini gagal menjadi penjaga Fernando Torres. Bahkan menurut rumor di Old Trafford, Ferdinand untuk sementara akan diistirahatkan oleh Sir Alex Ferguson.

Bek Irlandia Utara, Jonny Evans akan mengisi tempat Ferdinand. Jika benar, ini kali pertama bagi Ferdinand dipinggirkan Ferguson dalam tujuh tahun karirnya bersama Setan Merah.

Kondisi itulah yang membuat Redknapp segera memasang kuda-kuda. Kedekatan mereka saat menjadi bagian dari The Hammers akan dijadikan Redknapp senjata. Terlebih, Redknapp selama ini juga dikenal sangat dekat dengan Ferguson.

Namun, Redknapp tentu sadar konsekuensinya. Mendapatkan Ferdinand tidaklah murah. Spurs harus bisa memberi gaji bek 31 tahun ini di atas gaji yang diterimanya di Old Trafford.

Rio memang menjadi salah satu pemain MU bergaji termahal. Saat ini, Ferdinand bergaji 130 ribu poundsterling atau Rp 2 miliar lebih per pekan.

Stop trying to humiliate Rio Ferdinand, blasts Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson

Rio Ferdinand’s concern for his faltering form with Manchester United prompted him to pull out of a premiere held to promote his own film on Thursday night.

The 31-year-old was criticised for attending a London event in connection with the Dead Man Running movie just hours after returning from Champions League duty in Moscow last week.

And, after being found wanting against Fernando Torres as Liverpool beat United 2-0 at Anfield last Sunday, Ferdinand subsequently decided not to attend another screening — this time in Manchester two days ago.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/30/article-0-06F59740000005DC-128_468x291.jpg

Second best: Ferdinand is left trailing as Torres scores for Liverpool last Sunday

Last night, Ferdinand’s representatives confirmed he had withdrawn because the event came just 48 hours before this evening’s game against Blackburn at Old Trafford.

Ferdinand was said by his manager Sir Alex Ferguson last night to be nursing a calf injury but he is still expected to play today.

Ferguson, meanwhile, refused to discuss Ferdinand’s loss of form, choosing instead to accuse the media of ‘humiliating’ his player.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/30/article-0-048A39EB000005DC-196_233x354.jpg

On the warpath: Fergie

When questioned about the player, the United manager said ‘I’m not getting into that because I read the stuff in the newspapers and I hear he’s going to be dropped and all the rest, and I don’t know if any of you have got into my mind, any of you.

‘You know, you can try to pick my teams but you’ll never pick my team. You can try as long as you like, so I don’t know where it’s coming from.

‘I just have to put it down to the modern culture of humiliating people, which you do very well, and sensationalise, and all the rest of it, but I don’t know where you get it from.’

Despite Ferguson’s irritation, Ferdinand said himself after last week’s Champions League win in Moscow that he needs 10 games to get back into his stride after an injury lay-off.

When this was put to Ferguson, he said: ‘Well, why would I drop him then?’

Nevertheless, the manager did suggest that Ferdinand is struggling with a calf problem, as is his partner Nemanja Vidic.

Ferdinand trained lightly yesterday, however, and it is thought that his problem — whatever the extent of it — is not severe enough to preclude him from playing today.

Ferguson said: ‘Neither of the central defenders has trained since the Liverpool game. Vidic has a little problem with his calf. We have sent him to a specialist and hopefully we can correct that but he has been struggling a little bit with it.

‘With both of them it’s calf injuries but we’ll see how they are tomorrow.’ Ironically, a day after Sportsmail revealed that Tottenham were keeping a watchful eye on the Ferdinand situation, their manager Harry Redknapp said he was the best centre back in the world and hit back at those who have criticised the player’s high-profile recent blunders.

Redknapp gave Ferdinand his first-team debut for West Ham in May 1996 and he added:‘I speak to him, I send him messages, I can’t think of a better centre half in the world.

‘Everybody has a blip. Tony Adams was a great centre back. He made a mistake and suddenly he was a donkey or whatever. We go overboard about a mistake. Rio’s human.’

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/30/article-0-06FC4205000005DC-731_468x305.jpg

Calm down: Redknapp has leapt to Ferdinand's defence

Meanwhile, Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has advised Roberto Martinez to keep his mouth shut in future following reports that the Wigan manager suggested some of his top-flight colleagues were little more than Fergie loyalists.

Allardyce confirmed Martinez had phoned him to apologise and said: ‘I accept what he said when he rang me. Welcome to the Premier League, Roberto. Keep your mouth shut in the future.’

Blunder Ferdinand karena Cedera

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/10/31/0559487p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Agen bek Rio Ferdinand, Pini Zahavi, menyatakan, blunder yang kerap dilakukan kliennya bukan disebabkan penurunan kualitas, melainkan kondisi fisik yang kurang bugar. Ia yakin, seiring proses pemulihan yang berjalan, Ferdinand akan kembali kepada performa terbaiknya.

Pembelaan itu disampaikan berkaitan dengan kritik atas kesalahan Ferdinand di sejumlah pertandingan Manchester United (MU). Salah satu yang paling fatal adalah kegagalan Ferdinand mengawal penyerang Liverpool, Fernando Torres, pada duel lanjutan Premier League, akhir pekan lalu.

Saat itu, Torres berhasil berpenetrasi masuk kotak penalti. Dalam kawalan Ferdinand, Torres mampu leluasa mengontrol bola dan melesakkannya ke gawang MU. Mengingat Torres membobol gawang MU dalam keadaan cedera, Ferdinand dianggap mengalami penurunan kualitas dan tak lagi mampu bermain di level tertinggi.

"Ia mengalami nasib buruk dengan sejumlah cedera musim ini. Ia mengalami sekitar empat cedera dan karena hasratnya bermain dengan baik untuk Manchester United, ia akan tampil meski tidak bugar seratus persen. Untuknya, itu adalah kesalahan besar karena (cedera) memengaruhi performanya," ulas Zahavi.

"Namun, jangan khawatir. Rio adalah pemain yang sama, dengan kualitas yang sama. Ia akan menunjukkan (kemampuan terbaik) saat tampil dengan kondisi bugar sepenuhnya," ujar Zahavi.

Selain itu, Zahavi juga mengungkapkan, kliennya bakal absen dalam duel versus Blackburn Rovers dalam lanjutan Premier League, Sabtu (31/10). Namun, ia menegaskan, itu bukan karena performa buruk, melainkan karena cedera betis.

"Saat ini, ia menderita cedera betis dan itu alasannya ia akan absen dari skuad Manchester United, dan bukan karena ia sengaja ditinggalkan. Baik Rio maupun (bek Nemanja) Vidic mengalami cedera dan ini adalah masa sulit bagi United," jelasnya. (SCN)

Spurs Siap Tampung Ferdinand
Sabtu, 31 Oktober 2009 - 02:48 wib
Muchamad Syuhada - Okezone


LONDON - Tottenham Hotspurs mencari kesempatan dalam kesempitan. Mengetahui kubu Manchester United mulai jengah dengan penampilan buruk bek mereka Rio Ferdinand belakangan ini, Spurs menyatakan siap menampung sang pemain.

Blunder demi blunder terus dihadirkan Ferdinand dalam beberapa laga bersama United. Terakhir dia membuat kesalahan ketika gagal mengantispasi pergerakan bomber maut Liverpool Fernando Torres ketika saling bertemu di ajang Premier League akhir pekan lalu.

Pelatih The Red Devils sendiri Sir Alex Ferguson sudah memberikan peringtan ringan kepada pemain 30 tahun itu. Langkah nyatanya, Ferdinand akan sengaja disimpan saat United berhadapan dengan Blackburn Rovers dan digantikan oleh pemain muda Johny Evans.

Sinyal kekisruhan antara Ferdinand dengan United sudah diantisipasi kubu Spurs. Beberapa sumber menyebutkan bahwa klub besutan Harry Redknapp itu siap mengjukan tawaran kongkrit, seperti dikutip The Dialy Mail, Sabtu (31/10/2009).

Bukan hal yang mudah, tapi The Lily Whites punya modal untuk bisa melakukannya. Senjata yang cukup ampuh adalah kedekatan sang pemain dengan Redknapp. Keduanya sudah bersama sejak masih di West Ham United dulu.

Fergie Gerah Ferdinand Terus Dikritik
Fajar Pratama - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/10/31/72/ferdinand-afp.jpg

Manchester - Rio Ferdinand tengah menjadi sorotan lantaran performannya yang sedang menurun. Hal itu rupanya membuat gerah Sir Alex Ferguson yang merasa media melebih-lebihkan permasalahan yang ada.

Sudah banyak kejadian yang menjadi bukti kurang oke-nya penampilan Ferdinand sebagai palang pintu pertahanan. Salah satu contohnya adalah pada saat Manchester United takluk dari Liverpool 0-2 di mana dia kurang ketat dalam menjaga Fernando Torres.

Fergie pun sebelumnya mengakui bahwa Ferdinand memang tengah berada dalam penurunan performa. Namun ia tidak senang dengan sikap media Inggris dan Eropa yang terus-terusan melancarkan kritik dan memanaskan suasana yang ada.

"Saya tidak tahu dari mana asalnya (kritik) itu. Itu merupakan opini Anda dan itu bisa saja salah kan," terangnya kepada The Sun.

"Saya membaca di koran-koran bahwa kalian menulis dia (Ferdinand) akan dibangkucadangkan namun saya tidak merasa kalian semua memiliki akses untuk mempengaruhi pendapat saya. Anda bisa saja melakukan hal itu berkali-kali, karena begitulah cara jurlnalisme modern," lanjutnya.

'Rio Ferdinand Telah Kehilangan Kaki'

VIVAnews - Mantan pelatih Inggris Graham Taylor membuat pernyataan mengejutkan. Taylor mengatakan jika bek Manchester United Rio Ferdinand telah melewati masa keemasannya.

Taylor rupanya cukup yakin jika Ferdinand tidak akan lagi kembali menunjukkan penampilan terbaiknya lagi. Penampilan terbaik Ferdinad telah diperlihatkan dalam beberapa musim lalu.

Bahkan Taylor mengistilahkan kondisi Ferdinand saat ini dengan menyebutnya telah 'kehilangan kakinya'. "Apa yang saya katakan mungkin akan membuat terkejut banyak orang. Tapi saya rasa Rio Ferdinand telah kehilangan kaki-kakinya," ujar Taylor kepada BBC Radio.

"Dia kerepotan menjaga Fernando Torres di saat MU melawan Liverpool, pekan lalu. Dan saya tidak yakin dia akan kembali menjadi pemain hebat sekali lagi," tambahnya.

Ferdinand memang tengah mengalami masa sulit. Performanya dinilai menurun setelah beberapa blunder yang dilakukannya baik di timnas maupun klub. Hal itu semakin terlihat setelah cedera terakhir yang dialami bek 30 tahun ini.

Keraguan Taylor ini juga didasari keputusan Sir Alex Ferguson yang terpaksa tak menurunkan Ferdinand di laga kontra Blackburn Rovers, kemarin. Namun Ferguson tentu tak akan tinggal diam pemainnya mendapat serangan. Kini tinggal menunggu reaksi Fergie.

Taylor yang kini berusia 65 tahun pernah melatih timnas Inggris dari tahun 1990-1993. Terakhir Taylor tercatat sebagai pelatih Aston Villa pada musim 2002/2003.

Ferguson Bentengi Ferdinand dari Serangan

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2009/08/20/75475_sir_alex_ferguson_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Sir Alex Ferguson merespon ucapan mantan pelatih Inggris Graham Taylor yang menyebut Rio Ferdinand telah melewati masa keemasan. Bagi Fergie, Ferdinand tetap bek terbaik Manchester United.

Sebelumnya Taylor memang menyebut Ferdinand telah 'kehilangan kaki-kakinya'. Bisa ditebak, klaim yang dilakukan Taylor itu tentu membuat Fergie tak senang.

"Selama waktu saya di sini, satu dari pemain bintang kami selalu mendapat kritikan ketika dia melakukan sebuah kesalahan kecil. Tidak ada satu pemain pun yang senang dikritik," ujar Ferguson kepada The Sun.

"Tapi dia (Ferdinand) akan keluar dari ini. Tidak ada keraguan mengenai itu. Tidak ada depresi dalam kualitasnya, tidak sama sekali," tambahnya.

Ferdinand mulai menuai kritikan setelah beberapa aksi cerobohnya saat membela timnas Inggris dan MU. Mantan bek West Ham itu dianggap tak lagi dalam performa terbaiknya. Ia akan absen saat MU menjamu CSKA Moscow, Selasa 3 November 2009.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand struggling to retain his England place

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/05/article-0-0715F9CC000005DC-357_306x491.jpg

Ferdinand: out of favour

Rio Ferdinand could miss out on England's friendly with Brazil in a move that would further undermine his status as the country's No 1 centre half.

Fabio Capello will not pick the Manchester United defender if he fails to recover from injury in time to play against Chelsea on Sunday.

His omission would amount to a crushing blow to Ferdinand when his form, rather than his fitness, is under serious scrutiny.

He has struggled with both for club and country this season and England manager Capello will omit him from the squad he names on Sunday on the grounds that he would have missed United's last four matches.

If Ferdinand recovers from calf and back problems and returns for Sunday's top-of-the-table Premier League clash at Chelsea, Capello will select him for game in Doha on November 14, otherwise the Italian is expected to employ his usual policy on injured players and recruit from elsewhere.

Omission would highlight Ferdinand's poor standing in the eyes of Capello after some alarming displays in an England shirt, in Ukraine and Holland.

It was Ferdinand's glaring error in Dnipropetrovsk last month which led to a penalty and goalkeeper Robert Green's sending off as England surrendered their unbeaten competitive record under Capello, and came a week after a similar slip in the Manchester derby allowed Craig Bellamy in to score for City. Ferdinand was also exposed in England's friendly in Amsterdam, when his nonchalant back pass allowed Dirk Kuyt to intercept and score for Holland.

Capello called Ferdinand in for talks following the Ukraine mistake, but kept him in the team for England's final World Cup qualifier against Belarus.

The Brazil match is a friendly but it remains an important game for Capello and he would normally want his best players available for a test that will provide a useful measure of England's progress ahead of next summer's World Cup.

That he is even considering leaving Ferdinand behind would suggest that the defender can no longer be as confident of his place as he has in the past. Michael Owen is another United player sweating over his inclusion.

Owen scored again for United on Tuesday night, while his own personal ambitions may have been helped by last night's injuries to Emile Heskey and Carlton Cole.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson gives Rio Ferdinand the green light to enter Hell's Kitchen charity contest
-dailymail.co.uk-

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/12/article-1227245-06C77BE0000005DC-817_468x401.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson has given Rio Ferdinand the green light to take part in a charity cooking contest at Old Trafford later this month despite reports suggesting he would halt the under-fire defender's off-field commitments.

The Manchester United star will battle against celebrity chef Marco Pierre White in the kitchen, alongside team-mates Edwin Van De Sar and Patrice Evra, on November 26 in aid of his latest venture, the Live the Dream Foundation.

But before being sidelined until December with a troublesome back problem, Ferguson was said to be planning an end to the England international's ever-growing list of engagements following a series of below-par performances.

The 31-year-old came under intense scrutiny last month during his red-carpet promotion for new gangster flick Dead Man Running, a production both he and Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole played a key part in behind the scenes.

And although he has received Ferguson's backing, Ferdinand's United future has been called into serious question with Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp registering an interest.

Ignoring calls to curb his appearances outside the game, the former West Ham and Leeds United ace will cook for a packed audience of discerning diners at the £275-per-person black tie function, where all proceeds will be donated to his new charity.

Ferdinand, raised on a tough south London estate in Peckham, is keen to provide deprived youngsters life-changing opportunities and follows Chelsea striker Didier Drogba in the latest offering of Premier League goodwill.

'I've always been passionate about helping those who haven't had the best start in life - particularly young people,' said Ferdinand, speaking ahead of the charity's official launch party on December 16, where singer Robbie Williams, TV star James Corden and Frank Lampard will lend star-studded support to the cause led by entrepreneur Chris Nathaniel's NVA Entertainment Group.

'I was fortunate enough to realise my potential as a footballer and I want to help others do the same in whatever area they believe they have the skills.

'The Live the Dream Foundation will help to change lives,' added Ferdinand, who misses England's forthcoming friendly with Brazil in Qatar through injury.

FERDINAND INJURY KO
-newsoftheworld.co.uk-

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00064/rio_516x350_64046a.jpg

RIO FERDINAND could be out for up to EIGHT WEEKS with a worrying back injury.

The Manchester United and England defender has been carrying the injury for months.

And now anxious United physios are demanding he gets the rest and treatment he needs to cure the problem. Ferdinand may need to see a specialist after being left out of United's 2-0 Premier League triumph over Blackburn yesterday.

His back ailment has affected his running but Ferdinand had soldiered on bravely - despite being less than 75 per cent fit - because of his desire to help the club.

The news of his injury comes as former England boss Graham Taylor claimed the United superstar had "lost his legs."

Ferdinand had been criticised over Fernando Torres' goal in Liverpool's 2-0 win over United last week and his performance for England against the Ukraine.

Taylor insisted: "He struggled to keep up with Torres and I just don't think he is - or will be - the wonderful player he once was."

But sources at Old Trafford insist there is no concern about his form - only his injury.

An Old Trafford insider revealed: "All Rio wants to do is play pain free.

"This injury first flared up before United's Champions League quarter-final against Porto last season and it has gradually got worse.

"Now the problem has been identified and needs to be cured, whether it takes two, four, six or eight weeks."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is also furious that Ferdinand's form is being questioned.

He defended his big centre-half - who turns 31 next Saturday - after critics attacked his recent performances on the pitch.

And Fergie knows that a fully fit Ferdinand is still the best centre-half in the world.

Nemanja Vidic: Rio Ferdinand Tetap Terbaik
Toto Pribadi

VIVAnews - Nemanja Vidic masih sangat yakin jika tandemnya di lini belakang Manchester United Rio Ferdinand akan kembali ke peforma terbaiknya. Ferdinand hanya butuh kembali fit untuk menjawab semua kritikan.

Penampilan Ferdinand memang sempat membuat kecewa para pendukung Setan Merah dan timnas Inggris. Beberapa blunder yang dilakukan bek jangkung ini mendapat serangan dari berbagai pihak.

Kesalahan demi kesalahan dilakukan Ferdinand baik membela MU maupun timnas. Terhitung tiga kesalahan telah dibuat Ferdinand saat melawan Manchester City bersama MU, Belanda dan Ukraina saat berseragam The Three Lions.

Bahkan tak sedikit yang mulai meragukan Ferdinand akan mampu menunjukkan penampilan terbaiknya lagi. Masa emas Ferdinand dianggap telah habis di usianya yang kini mencapai 31 tahun.

"Apakah Rio akan kembali ke penampilan terbaiknya? Ya, mengapa tidak," ujar Vidic kepada The Sun.

"Saya tidak berpikir dia dalam tekanan. Dia telah menunjukkan bagaimana hebatnya dia. Dia hanya butuh kembali fit," tambah Vidic.

Alasan cedera memang masih menyelamatkan Ferdinand dari hujan kritikan yang berlebih. Sebelumnya Ferdiand memang mengakui masih mengalami masalah dengan cedera punggung yang pernah dideritanya.

Ferdinand Tinggalkan MU Sampai Akhir 2009

VIVAnews - Penggemar Manchester United akan kehilangan bek Rio Ferdinand sampai akhir 2009. Manajer Sir Alex Ferguson pun masih was-was dengan lini belakangnya.

Menurut IMScouting, Ferdinand dianjurkan kembali beristirahat enam pekan lagi. Bek tengah 31 tahun ini belakangan memang rentan cedera.

Rio diganggu cedera punggung, akhir musim lalu. Dan saat musim 2009/2010 baru dimulai, ia harus bergulat dengan cedera betis.

Tim medis Manchester United belum bisa menyembuhkan cedera Rio. Tapi, pria yang sempat dirumorkan sedang diincar Barcelona ini mengalami gangguan di pinggulnya.

Ferdinand telah bermain dalam tujuh laga Premier League dan Liga Champions, musim ini. Mantan pemain West Ham dan Leeds ini sangat berharap bisa kembali ke lapangan hijau pada Desember nanti.

Juara Premier League tiga musim terakhir ini mendapatkan kabar bagus ketika tandem Rio, Nemanja Vidic telah bermain selama sejam dalam laga uji coba Serbia kontra Korea Selatan, kemarin. Vidic kemungkinan bisa turun saat MU bersua Everton, Sabtu atau Minggu dini hari WIB, 22 November 2009.

Manajer MU, Sir Alex Ferguson sempat was-was karena dua pemin intinya di jantung pertahanan itu absen bersamaan. Selama ini, Fergie mentandemkan Jonny Evans dan Wes Brown di jantung pertahanan.

Tapi, duet ini masih butuh waktu untuk mengasah saling pengertian karena baru sebentar ditandemkan. Alhasil, MU banyak kebobolan musim ini.

Rio Ferdinand reveals secrets of inspirational Sir Alex Ferguson as he backs United to overhaul table-toppers Chelsea

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/27/article-1231474-01561BE100000578-491_468x307.jpg

Ferdinand is sure United can get the better of Chelsea again this season.

Rio Ferdinand has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson inspired Manchester United to be kings of Europe with a rousing speech - and not a hairdryer in sight.

England star Ferdinand describes the pre-match talk before the 2008 Champions League final as the best he has heard, believing it helped United edge out Chelsea on penalties in Moscow.

Ferguson may be better known for his fierce outbursts when delivering the so-called 'hairdryer', but Ferdinand revealed there is another side to the Scot.

The 31-year-old reminisced about how Ferguson eased the dressing room tension and settled the players' nerves by simply turning a casual conversation into an inspirational match-winning address.

'I’ll never forget the manager’s speech in Moscow,’ said Ferdinand. 'Before the game he just plunked his chair in the middle of the dressing room and just started a random conversation totally unrelated to football.

‘But it just settled everybody’s nerves and before we knew it his talk switched to words of pure inspiration, reminding all the players that whatever you do in life is to achieve your goals. And, of course, it worked. We won the game.’

The former Leeds and West Ham player made the admission to dinner guests at the inaugural Rio Ferdinand Live the Dream Foundation fundraiser, where he beat United team-mate Edwin van der Sar in a Devils Kitchen cook-off challenge alongside celebrity chef Marco Pierre White at Old Trafford.

Sidelined with a troublesome back complaint that has restricted him to only a handful of appearances this term, Ferdinand is unavailable for the champions visit to Portsmouth, but has backed his team-mates to revive their bid for glory following their disappointing 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge three weeks ago

The champions are five points behind Chelsea in the Premier League, but the Old Trafford idol said: '

‘When I look at the players around me in the dressing room I can’t help but feel confident and believe that we will win,’ said Ferdinand.

‘I’m sure will we be up there come the end of the season and hopefully win two or three trophies.’

Ferdinand, who signed for a then-British transfer record fee of £30million from Leeds in 2002, credits Ferguson’s profound managerial skills for the club’s overwhelming success in recent years, insisting the Scot’s presence remains the biggest factor in convincing new arrivals to join the club.

'I was in awe the first time I met Sir Alex and whenever you get new players come in at the club it’s the same thing,’ he said.

‘When Michael Owen signed in the summer he told me how he just sat there listening the gaffer in amazement and that’s the effect the manager has. That’s why he’s so successful.’

Rio expects to return soon
England star sees light at end of tunnel as he bids to return from injuries

By Steve Pass Last updated: 16th December 2009

http://img.skysports.com/09/11/800x600/Rio_2381350.jpg

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes he will be back on the pitch in the 'not too distant future'.

Ferdinand has been out of action since the Red Devils lost 2-0 at Liverpool on 25th October, sidelined with a calf problem.

But that is connected to his long-standing back complaint, although Ferdinand is working hard in the gym and hopes to return soon.

The 31-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It's okay - obviously I'd love to be playing now, that's my passion and what I love doing, but I've been injured for a little while now.
Good road

"I'm on a good road and hopefully I can see light at the end of the tunnel and it won't be too long."

He added: "I've had the problem for maybe close to 18 months, and just played on with it and stuff.

"But hopefully we have seen the last of it, fingers crossed.

"I'm getting treatment, I'm working hard in the gym and doing a lot of stuff in the gym to make sure there is no reoccurrence of any problems.

"Hopefully (I will return in the) not too distant future."

MU Menanti Ferdinand
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/12/17/72/FerdinandReuters-isi.jpg

Manchester - Sudah hampir dua bulan Rio Ferdinand absen tampil membela Manchester United akibat cedera. Kehadirannya pun kini dinanti The Red Devils yang pertahanannya tengah keropos.

Terakhir kali Ferdinand merumput membela MU adalah ketika MU ditekuk Liverpool 0-2. Laga yang dimainkan di Anfield tersebut berlangsung pada 25 Oktober silam, nyaris dua bulan lalu.

Usai menepinya Ferdinand, satu per satu pemain belakang MU masuk ruang perawatan. Dimulai dari partner Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, hingga Gary Neville, Jonny Evans, John O'Shea, Wes Brown dan si kembar Fabio dan Rafael da Silva.

Alhasil Sir Alex Ferguson pun terpaksa memainkan beberapa gelandang untuk mengisi pos yang kosong di lini belakang. Darren Fletcher dan Michael Carrick adalah dua orang midfielder yang terpaksa menjalani tugas dadakan tersebut.

Carrick cukup dipuji penampilannya akhir pekan lalu, kala MU menundukkan Wolverhampton 3-0. Akhir pekan ini, ia diperkirakan akan bermain sebagai bek tengah lagi dengan ditemani pemain muda asal Belgia, Ritchie De Laet.

Namun, meski permasalahan di lini belakang bisa sedikit teratasi, kehadiran seorang bek murni tetap saja dibutuhkan. Dan oleh karenanya, kesembuhan Ferdinand adalah salah satu hal yang dinanti-nanti.

Bek berusia 31 tahun itu sendiri mengaku kondisinya kini membaik. Tetapi, masih belum diketahui kapan ia 100 persen fit sehingga siap untuk diturunkan.

"Proses penyembuhan berjalan dengan baik dan saya harap saya akan melihat cahaya di ujung terowongan. Semoga saat itu tak akan lama lagi," ujarnya kepada Sky Sports.

"Hampir 18 bulan saya memiliki masalah ini, dan saya tetap bermain dengan memiliki cedera ini. Namun, saya harap hal itu sudah berakhir," tukasnya.

Bek internasional Inggris ini memiliki masalah pada betisnya, dan oleh sebab itu penampilannya musim ini tak sepenuh seperti musim-musim sebelumnya. Disinyalir, karena cedera inilah penampilannya musim ini jauh menurun, di mana ia beberapa kali melakukan blunder di lini pertahanan.

Ferdinand making progress

RIO Ferdinand is approaching an end to his injury nightmare and can see "light at the end of the tunnel".

The centre-back has not played since the Reds' 2-0 loss at Liverpool in October thanks to a calf injury, which is linked to a previous back problem.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has denied that the defender's injury is long-term and believes he will soon be back in action for the defending Barclays Premier League champions.

Ferdinand has been seeing a specialist in London to try and speed up his recovery. No timescale has been set for his return to action but he is confident he will be back soon.

"It's the worst thing for a player to be injured and to be just watching your team, so I've been working hard in the gym to get fit," said Ferdinand.

"The treatment on my injury is going well. It's been quite slowly slowly but we're getting there.

"I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a tough and long layoff for me because I have never been injured before."

United's defence has been ravaged by injury recently with Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, John O'Shea and Gary Neville all joining Ferdinand on the sidelines.

As a result Ferguson has had to field a makeshift back four on a number of occasions, the most obvious being for United's 3-1 Champions League win over Wolfsburg when midfielders Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick played in defence.

Despite their injury problems, United have conceded only three league goals since Ferdinand's last appearance.

He believes the performance of those filling in for him shows the strength and determination of the Manchester United squad.

"Michael Carrick's done a great job filling in at centre half, so has Darren Fletcher at right back so I'm glad for them. That's what Manchester United is all about, it's all about the team effort," Ferdinand said.

Ferdinand was speaking at the launch of his Live the Dream charity foundation in London.

"The foundations is a vehicle to reach out to young people and provide them with the resources they need to unlock their potential. The Live the Dream Foundation will help to change lives," he said.

Sir Alex Ferguson: I fear for Rio Ferdinand - Manchester United boss admits injured England defender is still feeling the pain

Sir Alex Ferguson has added to growing concern that Rio Ferdinand’s World Cup place may be in doubt by admitting that the Manchester United defender is not winning his battle against a back problem.

Ferdinand has not played any football for two months and recently had an injection in his back to try to speed up his return to training.

The United manager, preparing for Sunday’s trip to Hull, admitted that there was no sign of an imminent comeback for the 31-year-old England defender.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/25/article-1238370-06F5D367000005DC-680_468x338.jpg

Losing battle: Rio Ferdinand is seriously struggling to overcome his back problem

Ferguson, emphasising that the fitness outlook remained gloomy, said: ‘There’s no light there. He gets his core work done in the gymnasium and we gave him an injection just over two weeks ago, so we had to let that settle for a week.

'He did nothing for a week and then got back into the gym work and we are just hoping the pain goes away.’


He tried to remain upbeat about his defender, but conceded that the injury was getting Ferdinand down.

He said: ‘It’s difficult to put a time-line on the injury. Anyone who’s got a back injury or a sore back knows what I’m talking about. It is a difficult thing.

‘He’s not showing the mental strain as he’s quite a composed lad, Rio. He’s quite a laidback lad but inwardly he’ll be feeling it. There’s no doubt about that because he’s a footballer and footballers like to play.

Good Evans: Defender is set to hand United a boost

‘He’ll be thinking about all sorts, the run in the league and important games coming up because he’s missing out on that.’

What is clear is that other defenders such as Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown are expected to return earlier that Ferdinand.

Ferguson has Brazilian defenders Fabio and Rafael da Silva available for Sunday’s visit to Hull as his defensive crisis begins to ease.

He added: ‘Johnny Evans started training yesterday. He didn’t do an awful lot as he’s still feeling pain and we’re trying to get him through that. I think by the Leeds United game (on January 3) we could have three centre backs fit.’

United are sure to be smarting from last Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Fulham and will not want to lose further ground in the title race to leaders Chelsea, who could go seven points clear with a win at Birmingham.

Rio Ferdinand is 'nowhere near' a comeback, says Sir Alex Ferguson

• Manchester United defender three weeks off full training
• Jonny Evans should be available again in 10 days

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2009/12/31/1262281018769/Rio-Ferdinand-001.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson has described Rio Ferdinand as "nowhere near" returning to full training despite some encouraging steps in his rehabilitation from recurrent back trouble. United's medical staff believe Ferdinand could miss another three weeks because of the problem that badly affected his form earlier in the season and has meant him being unavailable since a particularly difficult afternoon against Fernando Torres when Ferguson's men lost 2-0 at Liverpool on 25 October.

Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown are United's only fit centre-halves and Ferguson reported that John O'Shea will miss another two months because of a thigh injury. Jonny Evans, who has been troubled by a calf problem, is expected to be available again in 10 days, and is currently taking part in a running programme with Ferdinand without being able to take part fully in training.

"Rio has done well in the last few days," Ferguson said. "Jonny has done more, of course, because he has been doing it for longer. He has been involved in the football side for a few days now, but Rio is nowhere near that. The thing is there has been no recurrence of the back problem, which is good news. I think that is the moment we have been waiting for. He has his programme in the gymnasium and at the moment it is looking healthy."

O'Shea has not played since the 1-0 defeat at Chelsea on 8 November. "There is no sign at all of recovery from him," Ferguson added. "The one who is long term is John O'Shea. It is his first injury at the club and it is a big loss to us because he is such a versatile performer. All we can say to him is to get back, but it will be a couple of months yet. He had a thigh injury but the blood congealed and you have to be careful of calcification. That is the reason for the delay."

The 5-0 defeat of Wigan Athletic on Wednesday lifted United to within two points of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League. "We're where I'd hoped we'd be at this stage of the season but you have to respect the fact that Chelsea have won games also," Ferguson said. "The second half of the season doesn't hold any fears for us because we have the squad and we will have players available again and I will have the defenders back. Everyone should be back for when the Champions League gets underway again and I have confidence we can handle what is coming at us in the next few months.

"Gary Neville was on the bench [against Wigan] and I may involve him on Sunday [against Leeds United in the FA Cup third round]. Paul Scholes will also be available and we should have a strong squad. Daniel Welbeck came on [against Wigan] and did very well. Rafael [da Silva] was outstanding; he showed fantastic energy and desire to win the game."

However, Federico Macheda is injured and will not be available for Sunday or, more pertinently, the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final against Manchester City next Wednesday. His absence means Ferguson will almost certainly play Michael Owen in an otherwise experimental side

Welcome Back, Ferdinand!
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport



Manchester - Amunisi Manchester United semakin komplit. Sang defender, Rio Ferdinand dikabarkan sudah dapat dimainkan pada partai melawan Hull City, Sabtu mendatang.

Kabar gembira buat MU. Punggawa sektor pertahanan skuad Setan Merah, Ferdinand siap melakukan comeback perdana pasca cedera panjang. Bek internasional Inggris tersebut dilaporkan akan turun di partai akhir pekan ini, Sabtu (23/1/2010) melawan Hull.

Kepastian akan kondisi mantan pemain West Ham itu disampaikan oleh sang manajer sendiri, Sir Alex Ferguson. Bos asal Skotlandia itu mengaku progres Ferdinand semakin meningkat dalam tiga minggu terakhir.

"Rio telah menjalani latihan dengan sangat baik dalam beberapa minggu terakhir. Dia akan bermain besok," ungkap Ferguson seperti diberitakan ESPN Star.

"Ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk membawanya kembali. Kami telah melalui banyak situasi dengan dia dalam hal latihan yang cukup dan daya tahan."

Kembalinya Ferdinand yang telah absen sejak 25 Oktober lalu jelas membawa angin segar buat The Red Devils. Pasalnya, performa MU yang cenderung menurun pada musim ini tak lepas dari keroposnya lini belakang akibat banyaknya bek yang cedera.

"Ini adalah sebuah dorongan besar karena sektor pertahanan menjadi bagian yang paling lemah dari permainan kami di musim ini." "Di banyak waktu lain kami kehilangan Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Edwin van der Sar, John O'Shea. Ini telah menjadi sebuah periode yang sulit, jadi ketika mendapatkan mereka kembali akan baik untuk kami."

Fergie menambahkan selain Ferdinand, Dimitar Berbatov juga masih memungkinkan untuk tampil setelah masalah pada kakinya sembuh. Namun Vidic yang mengalami cedera betis masih harus istirahat hingga dua pekan mendatang. Sementara O'Shea akan absen hingga sisa musim.

Rio fit to face Hull

Rio Ferdinand is set to make his first start since October when United welcome Hull City to Old Trafford on Saturday.

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_30815_2619.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=480&hei=179&rgn=0.19,0.024739583333333332,0.8,0.23307291666666 666&cvt=jpeg

The Reds defender has missed United's last 19 fixtures with the recurrence of a back injury first sustained last season.

At Sir Alex's Friday morning press conference, the manager confirmed Rio's likely return, labelling the news "a big boost".

"I think Rio Ferdinand will play tomorrow which is good news. He’s been training very well in the last two weeks and we've been through the whole situation with him in terms of him doing enough training, endurance work, his timing... he’s done very well and now is the right time to bring him back.

"It’s a big boost. It’s been the weakest part of our game this season (the defence). Van der Sar, Vidic, Ferdinand, Neville, John O’Shea, Wes Brown and Jonny Evans have all been injured at various times of the season. We’ve had a rough time, so to get them all back can only be good for us.

"Nemanja Vidic is still probably about two weeks away, I imagine, but we’re getting closer to getting the full squad back."

The manager also revealed striker Dimitar Berbatov is fit again after missing United's Carling Cup tie at Manchester City with a knock, Mame Biram Diouf could also be involved against Hull on Saturday after impressing in the Reserves on Thursday night.

"We’re very pleased with Diouf. He’s done exceptionally well in training, he scored against Burnley and last night he grabbed a hat-trick for the Reserves. We took him off last night but it was only a precaution and he’ll feature in my thinking for tomorrow."

Meanwhile Owen Hargreaves continues to make steady progress and is set to be named on Sir Alex's list of players for the knock-out phase of the Champions League.

"Owen is still training with the reserves, doing two days on and one day off as he prepares to get to the proper levels," said the boss.

"He’s done two or three sessions with us in the last couple of weeks, and he did very well in Qatar. It’s a process and hopefully we’re getting to the point now where he feels confident about playing. I will probably name in my Champions League squad. That will be finalised in the next ten days and unless anything untoward happens, I imagine I’ll be picking him."

Fergie Optimistis Rio Bebas Sanksi
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport



Manchester - Mengantar Manchester United ke final Piala Carling, Rio Ferdinand bisa absen saat melawat ke Arsenal akhir pekan ini akibat sanksi yang mungkin dijatuhkan FA. Tapi Fergie yakin anak didiknya itu tak akan kena sanksi karena tak bersalah.

Ferdinand dituduh telah melakukan tindakan kekerasan dengan menyikut Craig Fagan dalam laga melawan Hull City, akhir pekan lalu. Akibat tindakan tersebut, bek tengah internasional Inggris itu terancam sanksi larangan bermain di tiga laga.

Namun jumlah larangan bertanding Rio bisa jadi akan bertambah menjadi empat laga. Soalnya Rio mangkir dari panggilan FA yang seharusnya dia penuhi sebelum laga kontra Manchester City, Rabu (27/1/2010) kemarin waktu setempat. Ferdinand baru akan memenuhi panggilan FA di Kamis (28/1/2010) ini.

Pemanggilan Ferdinand oleh FA bisa membuat MU kehilangan bek tangguhnya itu saat melawat ke Arsenal akhir pekan ini. Namun Sir Alex Ferguson yakin kalau Ferdinand bisa akan dia bawa ke London dan tiga laga lain setelahnya karena FA justru akan membebaskan dari segala tuntutan.

"Jika dia punya kesempatan menjalani hearing yang adil, Rio punya kesempatan yang bagus (lolos sanksi). Dia terpukul dan sempat bergumul. Semuanya terjadi dengan cepat. Dia cuma bisa membebaskan dirinya dan sayangnya itu mengenai bagian belakang leher pemain lawan," ungkap Fergie di SkySports.

Rio handed four-game ban
Rio Ferdinand has been handed a four-match suspension after being found guilty of violent conduct by the Football Association.

The Reds' defender was involved in an off-the-ball incident during United's 4-0 victory over Hull City and will now miss the next four matches against Arsenal, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Everton.

A statement on the FA website said: "At an Independent Regulatory Commission today [Thursday] Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was given a four-match suspension to be served with immediate effect.

"Ferdinand denied a charge of violent conduct in relation to an incident in Manchester United’s home match with Hull City on Saturday 23 January 2010.

"Furthermore, the Independent Commission felt that the player’s claim against the charge was frivolous and on that basis have awarded an additional one match ban upon the statutory three match ban awarded for violent conduct."

Rio Ferdinand risks ban from Carling Cup final after new appeal against suspension
Rio Ferdinand risks being banned for Manchester United’s Carling Cup final against Aston Villa on Feb 28 after lodging an appeal against the fourth game of his suspension for violent conduct.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01570/Rio_Ferdinand_1570156c.jpg

The Manchester United defender was handed a four-match ban by a Football Association regulatory commission last Thursday as a result of his 'frivolous' appeal against a charge of violent conduct relating to an off-the-ball incident with Hull City forward Craig Fagan during United’s 4-0 Old Trafford victory last month.

While Ferdinand and United cannot appeal against the mandatory three-match ban imposed for instances of violent conduct, the player has chosen to challenge the FA’s decision to apply an additional game, despite the danger of having the four-game suspension extended to five should the appeal be dismissed.

Ferdinand, who began his suspension by sitting out United’s 3-1 victory at Arsenal on Sunday, is due to miss the forthcoming Premier League fixtures against Portsmouth (h), Aston Villa (a) and Everton (a) as a result of his ban. A successful appeal would ensure his availability for the trip to Goodison Park on Feb 20.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson backed Ferdinand’s decision to contest the initial charge and the Scot is supportive of this latest appeal.

Ferguson is understood to think that the benefit of Ferdinand overturning the fourth game to face Everton far outweighs the possible downside of him missing the Carling Cup final.

Although Ferguson called on Ferdinand to face Manchester City in the semi-final second leg last week, the likelihood of the 31 year-old being selected against Villa at Wembley is minimal, with Wes Brown and Jonny Evans likely to be rewarded for their efforts in helping United through the earlier rounds of the Carling Cup.

United lodged their appeal with the FA on Monday night and are now waiting on the governing body to announce arrangements for a disciplinary hearing to review Ferdinand’s appeal.

Meanwhile, Ferguson has told the club’s official magazine, Inside United, that he has “no regrets” over letting David Beckham leave Manchester United. “We move on,” he said.

Ferdinand Siap Jadi Kapten Inggris

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/01/10/2213365p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Pemecatan John Terry sebagai kapten Inggris menjadi pelajaran penting bagi Rio Ferdinand. Defender Manchester United (MU) ini pun akan berusaha memperbaiki citra dan sikapnya saat ditunjuk sebagai kapten "The Three Lions".

"Aku tahu harus mengubah opini publik tentang diriku. Kukira, aku bisa melakukannya," kata Ferdinand.

Dia memang sempat mendapat cap buruk karena pernah punya skandal seks, dihukum karena mabuk saat menyetir, dan dihukum delapan bulan dari sepak bola karena doping. Itu yang menyebabkan Ferdinand tak bisa main di Piala Eropa 2004. Enam tahun lewat, kini dia akan bertugas memimpin Inggris di Piala Dunia 2010.

"Aku tak malu mengakui pernah melakukan banyak kesalahan pada masa pertumbuhan. Mungkin di masa datang bisa saja aku membuat kesalahan lagi. Tapi aku harap tak melakukan kesalahan sebodoh masa lalu. Sebagai anak dari West Ham, butuh beberapa tahun buatku untuk tumbuh dan memahami tanggung jawab sebagai pemain sepak bola profesional," terang Ferdinand.

John Terry dipecat dari jabatan kapten Inggris, setelah terbongkar skandal seksnya bersama mantan pacar Wayne Bridge. Dia dinilai tidak mencerminkan pemimpin yang baik buat "The Three Lions". Ferdinand pun dinilai pengganti yang cocok untuknya.

"Kukira, aku sekarang sudah mencapai level dewasa. Kedewasaan bagian dari perjalanan manusia. Aku memiliki keluarga muda. Rasanya, setiap orang melewati masa pasang dan surut dalam karier dan kehidupan. Ini tergantung kita sendiri bagaimana menyikapinya," tambah pemain berumur 31 tahun ini.

Ferdinand sudah melewati masa sulit dan menyenangkan. Dia kini merasa menemukan jati dirinya dan makin dewasa. Banyak melakukan kegiatan amal, juga bersikap lebih dewasa. Maka, dia amat siap menjadi kapten Inggris menggantikan Terry. Di MU, dia juga masih menjadi kapten.

"Menjadi kapten akan memberi dampak yang besar. Kukira, manajer MU dan Timnas Inggris tak akan memilihku jika mereka tak percaya kepadaku. Mereka tentu sudah melihat bagaimana tanggung jawabku," ujarnya. (AP)

Rio Ferdinand the natural successor to the England captaincy
Fabio Capello stripped John Terry of the England captaincy to preserve the unity of the dressing room ahead of the World Cup in South Africa.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01526/Rio_Ferdinand-4_1526648c.jpg

If the fall from grace of John Terry was swift and dramatic, the rise of Rio Ferdinand has been gradual but no less remarkable.

Rewind to 2005 and it would have been almost unthinkable to consider Ferdinand as a future England captain. Having been convicted of drink-driving in 1997, he was receiving a third ban for speeding and being bluntly reminded by magistrate Ashley Howells about his responsibilities as a role model.

The previous year he had even been forced to miss the European Championship following an eight-month suspension from football for his missed drugs test.

The perception then was of a rare talent being undermined by moments of extreme stupidity. The subsequent influence at Manchester United of Sir Alex Ferguson has been unmistakable. Ferdinand is now 31 and his vast on-field potential has been emphatically fulfilled.

Only last season Ferguson described Ferdinand as the world’s best defender and his elevation to the England captaincy follows his talismanic role in United’s run of three consecutive Premier League titles.

There was much conjecture about Wayne Rooney, but Capello never regarded the striker as a serious option. Capello looks at Rooney and does see a natural leader but also a 24 year-old who needs space to develop. It was less than a year ago, after all, that Capello was calling Rooney a “crazy man” for angrily punching the corner flag when he was sent off against Fulham.

For Capello’s logical mind, the issue of Terry’s successor did not require much thought. Ferdinand had been his vice-captain and Steven Gerrard his third choice.

He has been happy with the contributions of both players so, following Terry’s demotion, they were simply shuffled up the list. In any case, there has long been a suspicion that Capello actually regarded Ferdinand as the most impressive of candidates during the captaincy auditions in 2008.

When Capello did eventually opt for Terry, his decision was influenced by the fact that the Chelsea captain had been the man in possession. Ferdinand also did not help his case with an untimely show of petulance after Manchester United were beaten in the so-called 'Battle of the Bridge’ in 2008.

Since then, however, he has been a model influence around the England camp. Like Terry, he is a personality with the self-confidence to speak his mind and would have further impressed Capello when he memorably denounced the celebrity 'Wag culture’.

As for his past, Capello has made it clear that, for him, any controversies have been consigned to history.

So what sort of leader will Ferdinand now make?

A repeat of Rio’s World Cup Wind-Ups — a series of television pranks on his England team-mates before the 2006 World Cup — can certainly be discounted under the Capello regime.

There will also be no question of him being overawed by the spotlight. From the age of 11, when he was nicknamed 'Pele’ by youth coaches at West Ham, Ferdinand has had to deal with considerable expectation.

Harry Redknapp, the former West Ham manager, was always convinced that Ferdinand would one day become the best defender in Europe and his moves to Leeds United and then Manchester United for combined transfer fees of £51 million underline his stature in the game.

The big question mark now, of course, relates to his recent injuries. With concern that the problems all stem from his back, Ferdinand has completed only six of United’s 24 league games this season. He did, however, return to play twice in four days as United swept aside Burnley and Manchester City.

It was enough to convince Capello that there was no reason to veer from his original belief that Ferdinand was still the natural understudy to Terry.

It will take a big personality to balance the inevitable friction and emotion in the dressing room when England do congregate for the friendly next month against Egypt but, in Ferdinand, Capello certainly has a leader who knows how to prevail from personal adversity.

Fergie Bangga Jika Rio Kapteni Inggris
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/02/07/72/RioFerdinandAFP-isi.jpg

Manchester - Usai John Terry lengser jadi skipper timnas Inggris, ban kapten untuk sementara pindah ke lengan Rio Ferdinand. Pelatih Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, merasa bangga seandainya Rio resmi mengapteni The Three Lions.

Terry dicopot dari jabatan kapten Inggris setelah skandal perselingkuhannya dengan Vanessa Perroncel terkuak. Pencopotan tersebut dilakukan setelah Terry melakukan pembicaraan dengan pelatih Inggris, Fabio Capello.

Capello memang belum memutuskan secara resmi siapa yang akan menjadi suksesor Terry. Tetapi untuk sementara jabatan tersebut akan dipegang oleh Rio, yang di level klub juga beberapa kali menjadi kapten The Red Devils.

Walau belum resmi, Fergie tetap menyambut antusias hal ini. Pelatih asal Skotlandia ini merasa bangga jika akhirnya ada seorang pemain MU yang memimpin sebuah tim nasional di Piala Dunia.

"Kami turut bahagia untuknya dan sangat bagus untuk Manchester United jika ada seorang pemainnya memimpin negaranya," kata Fergie seperti dilansir AFP.

"Pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya kami pernah melihat Gary (Neville), Bobby Charlton dan Bobby Robson yang pernah memimpin di sekitar 60 laga. Jadi, kami sangat bangga dengan hal ini."

Namun demikian, reputasi Rio bukannya bebas dari skandal. Ia pernah mendapatkan larangan tampil selama delapan bulan akibat lalai menjalani tes doping. Akibatnya, ia pun tak ikut memperkuat Inggris pada Piala Eropa 2004.

Rio: From Ballet Dancer To England Skipper

Adam Arnold, SKy News Online
Rio Ferdinand's past life as a ballet dancer is revealed in a campaign being fronted by the new England football captain.

The player swaps the intensity of the football field for the comfort of a big leather chair as part of the marketing drive by the National Portrait Gallery.

Ferdinand was promoted to skipper by England manager Fabio Capello last Friday after John Terry's downfall.

The Manchester United defender joins historical figures, such as artist LS Lowry, King Charles II, Lord Nelson, and Mary, Queen of Scots, for the campaign.

'Take Another Look' highlights the fact that visitors can find out unexpected facts about well-known Britons when they visit the gallery.

These include Mary, Queen of Scots' love of golf, LS Lowry's work for 40 years as a rent collector and Horatio Nelson's battle with chronic seasickness.

The photograph of Ferdinand, 31, relaxing on the dark orange chair is on display at the gallery, and will now be seen on posters, adverts and bus shelters.

http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/jpg/2010/Feb/Week2/15545636.jpg

Ferdinand's photograph contains the words Central Defender, Central to England, Central School of Ballet.

This refers to his background as a dancer who attended classes four times a week for four years.

Born in Peckham, south London, Ferdinand's sporting career started at the age of 10 when he was invited to the Queens Park Rangers Football Academy.

However, when he was 11-years-old he also won a scholarship to the Central School of Ballet in London.

He travelled by bus from his home to central London to get to the classes.

The dance lessons improved his natural balance but eventually he chose a career as a footballer and signed his first professional contract in 1995

For the new campaign, Ferdinand was photographed in a studio by Mark Guthrie.

MU Tarik Banding Soal Rio
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport


AFP

Manchester - FA mengumumkan bahwa Manchester United menarik pengajuan bandingnya atas hukuman Rio Ferdinand. Penarikan ini membuat bek asal Inggris tersebut bisa tampil di final Carling Cup.

Ferdinand dijatuhi larangan membela MU untuk empat pertandingan karena dianggap melakukan tindakan kekerasan terhadap pemain Hull City saat kedua tim berhadapan bulan lalu. Sanksi buat Rio sesungguhnya cuma tiga laga, tapi karena mangkir dari pemanggilan pertama, hukumannya ditambah menjadi empat.

MU kemudian mengajukan banding atas hukuman itu. Pekan lalu, untuk kali kedua The Red Devils mengajukan banding.

MU bisa jadi menyadari bahwa keputusan untuk pengajuan kedua bisa mengancam partisipasi Ferdinand di final Piala Carling.

Dalam perkembangan selanjutnya, MU menarik banding tersebut. "FA mengonfirmasi bahwa perimintaan yang diajukan Manchester United untuk menarik banding Rio Ferdinand telah diterima oleh Ketua Dewan Banding," demikian keterangan yang detiksport kutip dari situs resmi MU, Selasa (9/2/2010) malam WIB.

Sejauh ini Ferdinand sudah menjalani dua dari empat larangan bertanding. Ia bakal absen di Liga Primer kontra Aston Villa (10 Februari) dan Everton (20 Februari).

Dengan penarikan ini, MU sudah bisa kembali menggunakan jasa pemain kelahiran 7 November 1978 itu di final Piala Carling, 28 Februari. ( nar / din )

Carrick: Ferdinand Kapten Hebat
Rio Ferdinand.
http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2008/10/15/083502p.jpg
Senin, 8/2/2010 | 23:16 WIB

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Gelandang Inggris, Michael Carrick, yakin bahwa Rio Ferdinand akan menjadi kapten yang hebat bagi "The Three Lions".

Ferdinand ditunjuk sebagai kapten baru Inggris setelah Pelatih Fabio Capello menarik jabatan kapten dari tangan John Terry. Carrick menilai, tindakan Capello itu tepat. Ferdinand merupakan seorang pemain kelas dunia yang berjiwa pemimpin. Pengalaman Ferdinand memimpin Manchester United dalam duel-duel akbar akan banyak berguna bagi Inggris di Piala Dunia nanti.

"Rio pemimpin dan kapten yang hebat. Dia adalah pemain kelas dunia. Dia berhasil melakukannya di final Liga Champions (2008) dan memenangkannya," kata Carrick. "Rio dihormati oleh para pemain dan hal itu sangat penting. Aku yakin dia akan sukses."

Jiwa kepemimpinan Ferdinand sudah muncul sejak masih membela Leeds United. Di MU, ia akan menjadi jenderal di lapangan jika Gary Neville dan Ryan Giggs absen. (SKY)

Ferdinand Ternyata Juga Berselingkuh

Bola.net - Rio Ferdinand seharusnya menggantikan John Terry sebagai kapten Inggris minggu lalu, dengan tujuan untuk memperbaiki citra jelek akibat terbongkarnya berita perselingkuhan dari pemain Chelsea itu. Tetapi pelatih Fabio Capello nampaknya tidak akan senang kalau tahu ada seorang model asal Israel mengklaim telah berselingkuh dengan pemain berusia 31 tahun itu di Tel Aviv pada bulan Juni yang lalu.

Bahkan transfer sejumlah 20 ribu pounds terdeteksi masuk ke rekening Tslil Sela yang berusia 22 tahun ketika berkencan dengan pemain bintang Manchester United itu sesaat sebelum dia menikah dengan pasangannya. Dia telah memberitahu teman-temannya bahwa Rio bersamanya tepat di saat Rebecca Ellison berada di rumahnya di Inggris bersama bayi laki-laki mereka yang berusia dua tahun, dua minggu sebelum pernikahan mereka.Rio

Agen Sela di Tel Aviv, Roberto, yang membocorkan ceritanya itu kemarin bersikeras bahwa itu hanyalah merupakan "kencan semalam" saja.

Hal ini sangat kontras, mengingat penasehat Ferdinand telah bekerja keras untuk mengubah reputasi liarnya dalam beberapa tahun terakhir setelah dia dihukum setelah gagal dalam tes doping, dihukum karena mabuk saat mengemudi dan memfilmkan dirinya saat melakukan group sex di Siprus.

Tapi kemarin, moral pemain ini kembali dipertanyakan setelah detail kejadian di Tel Aviv itu terungkap. Selama kunjungannya ke berbagai klub malam, dia terlihat sedang 'menari panas' dengan Sela di klub malam Clara.

Seorang saksi bercerita: "Mereka menari bersama, dan itu merupakan tarian yang 'panas', bukan seperti yang biasa. Mereka sedang bersenang-senang bersama. Setelah itu, Tslil merasa sangat malu dan bahkan menyangkal pernah bersama Rio Ferdinand, meskipun semua orang telah melihatnya bersama dengan Rio."

Seorang teman mengatakan pada DailyMail: "Rio nampak begitu kasar dan vulgar di klub malam. Dia melihat seorang mahasiswa muda yang cantik dan berkata kepadanya, 'Saya akan memberikanmu apa saja yang kamu inginkan". Dia kembali ke Hotal Intercontinental Hotel bersamanya dan dua pria lain."

Kemarin temannya mengatakan Sela langsung 'shock' begitu tahu Ferdinand saat itu hanya dua minggu sebelum menikah dengan pasangannya yang telah bersamanya selama tujuh tahun.

Salah seorang temannya berkata: "Dia tidak tahu kalau dia sedang dalam masa sebelum pernikahan. Dia bukan gadis seperti itu."

Kemarin malam, Sela menolak memberikan jawaban dari apartemen seharga 300 ribu pounds yang punya tiga kamar tidur, yang dia tinggali bersama orang tuanya di daerah kelas menengah kota Tel Aviv.

Ditanya mengenai hubungannya dengan Ferdinand, dia berkata: "Saya bisa mengizinkan Anda masuk tetapi saya tidak punya izin dari agen saya. Agen saya mengatakan dia hanya ingin menyelesaikan cerita ini dengan Anda. Hubungi saja Roberto."

Sela adalah seorang mahasiswa psikologi yang juga menjadi model. Dia telah berpose dalam pakaian renang dan pakaian menggoda untuk majalah.

Dia baru-baru ini juga menjadi salah satu kontestan dari reality show di TV Israel yang bernama The Model, di mana dia mendapat reputasi selalu mengganggu semua kontestan lain tapi masih berhasil mencapai babak final.

Fan page-nya di situs jaringan sosial Facebook menggambarkan dirinya 'berwajah seorang malaikat dan bermulut besar' dan 'manis seperti gadis sebelah rumah'.

Ayah Sela mengepalai yayasan amal untuk anak-anak. Ibunya adalah seorang inspektur di kementerian pendidikan Israel.

Ferdinand mengatakan dia mencintai Israel dan dia berlibur ke sana setidaknya selama enam kali. Dia berulang kali telah terfoto di klub malam Tel Aviv, dikelilingi oleh gadis-gadis.

Semalam juru bicaranya awalnya menolak berkomentar, tetapi kemudian menelpon kembali dan berkata: "Rio mengatakan itu tidak benar."

Ferdinand Absen di Final Carling Cup
Defanie Arianti - Okezone
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8634/ll36s9kfkn.jpg
MANCHESTER - Manchester United tampaknya harus melakoni final Carling Cup kontra Aston Villa tanpa diperkuat bek tangguh Rio Ferdinand. Itu setelah Ferdinand tiba-tiba mengalami gangguan pada punggungnya, jelang lanjutan Premier League melawan West Ham United, dini hari tadi.

Kapten anyar Timnas Inggris sebenarnya diharapkan tampil kala United membungkam tamunya, The Hammers, 3-0 di hadapan publik Old Trafford, Rabu (24/2/2010) dini hari WIB. Hukuman empat laga yang dia terima akibat pelanggaran terhadap penyerang Hull City Craig Fagan telah rampung dijalani.

Sialnya, cedera punggung Ferdinand tiba-tiba kambuh. Pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson pun enggan mengambil risiko dan lebih memilih untuk 'menyimpan' bek 31 tahun di bangku cadangan.

"Dia mengalami masalah di bagian punggungnya saat menjalani latihan dan tidak akan siap diturunkan, Minggu (28/2/2010) nanti," jelas Ferguson seperti dilansir situs resmi FIFA.

"Sangat disayangkan karena artinya Ferdinand akan absen dalam beberapa pertandingan ke depan," lanjut pelatih asal Skotlandia.

"Ferdinand menjalani latihan dengan baik. Tidak ada kesalahan apapun selama latihan. Tapi, saat Anda mengalami hal-hal seperti ini, Anda tak bisa mengambil risiko," pungkas Ferguson.

Selain melewatkan final Carling Cup, Ferdinand bisa jadi batal memimpin The Three Lions untuk pertama kalinya pada laga persahabatan melawan Mesir di Stadion Wembley, 3 Maret mendatang.

Ferdinand Cedera, Kapten Inggris Tanda Tanya
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4544/70003rioferdinand300225.jpg
VIVAnews - Cedera Rio Ferdinand memaksa Manajer Inggris, Fabio Capello berpikir ulang. Bek Manchester United yang juga kapten anyar Inggris ini mulai diragukan setelah kembali mengalami cedera.

Usai dicopotnya ban kapten John Terry karena skandal seksnya yang terbongkar, Ferdinand ditunjuk Capello sebagai pewaris ban kapten The Three Lions. Namun, kini tembok Iblis Merah ini kembali didera cedera pada bagian punggung.

Padahal, Inggris akan melakoni laga persahabatan kontra Mesir pada Rabu, pekan depan. Meski kemungkinan besar akan menunjuk bintang Liverpool, Steven Gerrard sebagi kapten di partai itu, namun Capello tetap belum bisa menentukan siapa kapten utama Inggris.

Seperti yang dilansir Tribal, Capello belum bersedia menyebutkan kapten utama Inggris di Piala Dunia nanti. "Tunggu," ujar singkat Capello.

Sedangkan terkait kasus merenggangnya hubungan Wayne Bridge dan John Terry, Capello tetap meminta Bridge ikut serta ke Afrika Selatan. Namun hingga saat ini, permintaan Capello ini masih belum mendapat respon dari bek kiri Manchester City itu.

Sebelumnya, Bridge mengklaim akan cabut dari timnas Inggris jika Terry masih diberi kepercayaan sebagai kapten The Three Lions.

Rio Ferdinand: I've put my injury problems behind me

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/13/article-0-08AACB18000005DC-405_468x432.jpg

Rio Ferdinand has good news for his boss Sir Alex Ferguson and England chief Fabio Capello after insisting that the back problems which have dogged his season have been sorted.

The 31-year-old has managed just 13 games for United and was unable to take up his role as new England captain because of injury this month.

But after earning praise for his display alongside Nemanja Vidic against AC Milan in midweek, the centreback is confident he can show his fitness again today against Fulham in the Premier League.
Rio Ferdinand and David Beckham

'Hopefully I've now got my finger on the pulse,' he said.

'I am confident, I'm doing a lot of training in the rehab room and I do loads of stuff to prevent anything else happening.

'I'm feeling very good. It's just nice to be playing again. Two games in a week, yet in the last couple of months I've not been able to imagine playing once so it's good to be in this position.'

Having regained his fitness, Ferdinand now takes each match as it comes. England and the World Cup will only become a priority when he has dealt with domestic issues.

He said: 'I only think about what's going on now at United. Then, once we finish the season, we can sit back, evaluate and go on from there.'

Ferdinand Dulu Ingin seperti Mayweather
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/03/29/424/ferdinand-getty-285.jpg

Manchester - Menjadi pesepakbola profesional ternyata bukan impian utama seorang Rio Ferdinand. Sewaktu kecil, bek Manchester United ini justru ingin menjadi seorang petinju seperti Flyod Mayweather.

Ferdinand besar di Peckham, daerah perkampungan miskin di London yang juga berdekatan dengan tempat tinggal dari petinju top Inggris, David Haye. Keduanya bahkan telah menjadi sahabat sejak masih duduk di bangku sekolah.

Mungkin dari Haye itulah Ferdinand ketularan mencoba dunia tinju selain menekuni hobi bermain bola. Namun, Ferdinand kecil akhirnya menyadari bahwa tinju terlalu sulit dilakukan dan menemukan bakat sebenarnya ada di sepakbola.

Ketika ditanya soal impiannya menjadi petinju ketika masih bocah, Ferdinand mengaku ingin menjadi seperti petinju top Amerika, Mayweather.

"Saya pikir saya akan menjadi seperti Floyd Mayweather. Saya akan sangat defensif dan licin," ungkap pemain internasional Inggris itu dalam wawancaranya dengan majalah Hayemaker yang dikutip The Sun.

"Saya akan mencoba dan mengulur waktu yang saya miliki, melakukan pukulan balik dan kemudian 'membunuh' lawan di saat waktu yang tepat datang," lanjut dia.

Sekarang setelah menjadi seorang pesepakbola sukses, ada satu hal lain yang ingin dicapai oleh Ferdinand di samping berbagai trofi bersama MU. Mantan pemain West Ham ini ingin merengkuh trofi Piala Dunia agar namanya selalu diingat orang.

"Semua orang selalu ingat para pemain yang telah mengangkat Piala Dunia. Mereka tidak akan pernah dilupakan. Saya ingin pergi sebagai salah satu pemain terhebat untuk melakukannya," demikian Ferdinand.

Manchester - Rio Ferdinand mengikrarkans loyalitasnya kepada Manchester United. Bek internasional Inggris tersebut hanya ingin menghabiskan karir sepakbolanya bersama 'Setan Merah'.

Sudah delapan musim lamanya Ferdinand membela MU. Dalam kurun waktu itu pula, pesepakbola 31 tahun ini turut mengecap kesukesan termasuk di antaranya menyumbangkan empat trofi Liga Primer, dua Piala Carling dan satu trofi Liga Champions.

Sempat diterpa isu hengkang tahun lalu, mantan bek West Ham dan Leeds United tersebut nyatanya cuma ingin menghabiskan karir di Old Trafford. Ferdinand ingin menjadi bagian dari sejarah timnya, seperti yang dicatatkan legenda-legenda hidup The Red Devils.

"Saya ingin pensiun di United. Akan sangat hebat untuk melakukan apa yang telah dicapai Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville dan Paul Scholes," tegas Ferdinand seperti dikutip The Sun.

"Menghabiskan karir di United akan menjadi sebuah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan dan orang-orang tersebut sangat menginspirasi saya. Mereka semua identik dengan Manchester United dan saya ingin mencapai hal yang demikian juga," tuntas kapten timnas Inggris tersebut.

Rio: I was like a hunchback
-thesun.co.uk-

http://images.football.co.uk/Dynamic/Group/Source/10e3cc2073083bee310df7d0a99f62da.jpg

RIO FERDINAND will be Manchester United's leader tomorrow night as they bid to overcome Bayern Munich and keep their European dream alive.

But the England star admits it was not so long ago he resembled a weak, crumpled old man rather than a defensive colossus.

Ferdinand has revealed his chronic back and calf problems had got so bad he could not even stand straight after games.

He said: "When I walked into the dressing room after matches, everyone would just laugh at me because I was so hunched over. For two or three days I was shuffling about like an old man."

It came to the point in October when Ferdinand could take no more and had three months out to sort his problems.

He added: "It has all been going on for about 18 months.

"Once the club and I decided the best thing for me was to shut down and concentrate on treatment, it became apparent that all the muscle injuries I had in my legs were connected to my back problems.

"Now, with the various treatments I have had, I hope it won't be an issue in the future.

"I still do a lot of maintenance work in the gym to manage it but it looks as though I will be able to do that."

Ferdinand now hopes to do just that for many more years so he can join the legends of longevity at Old Trafford. He has already been at the club eight years since a £30million move from Leeds and is desperate to make sure he stays for the rest of his career.

He said: "I want to retire at United. It would be great to do what Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes have done and stick with one club for a long time.

"Finishing my career at United would be a dream come true and those guys are such inspirations.

"They are all synonymous with Manchester United and I want to achieve that as well." Ferdinand revealed to Inside United magazine he wants to make history by being part of the first team to win four consecutive titles.

To do that, Alex Ferguson's men will have to overcome a two-point deficit on Chelsea after crashing to a home defeat against the Blues on Saturday.

But Ferdinand, 31, believes if they manage that they should be regarded as the best English domestic team ever. He added: "Nobody's ever done it, so I think we'd have to go down as the best English team in history.

"As soon as we won the league last year the manager was urging us to go for it again - that's the gauntlet he threw down in the dressing room.

"The aim is always the same here - you want to end each season having written a new chapter in the history books."

With Rafael ready to come in for Gary Neville against Bayern tomorrow night, Ferdinand is set to be named captain for the quarter-final second leg.

United trail 2-1 after conceding a last-gasp goal in the Allianz Arena.

But Ferdinand insisted: "Losing to Bayern was difficult to take but you don't get everything your own way.

"Over the last couple of years we've become accustomed to dealing with things and grinding out results but against Bayern we didn't do that.

"It's part and parcel of football. You lose one, dust yourself down and get on with it."

Ferdinand: I must focus on United, not England
-soccernet.espn.go.com-

http://www.independent.ie/multimedia/archive/00549/A112501270886616A_1_549410t.jpg

Rio Ferdinand maintains his focus remains on Manchester United's pursuit of an unprecedented fourth Premier League title rather than lifting the World Cup with England.

Ferdinand believes United must win their remaining five games to overturn a two-point deficit to Chelsea after a tumultuous week for the defending champions, who were beaten 2-1 by the Blues at Old Trafford before exiting the Champions League due an away goals loss to Bayern Munich.

Ferdinand told Sky Sports News: ''There's five games left to try to win the title. It's not over. It's not in our hands, but we need to make it as difficult as possible for everybody else by winning each and everyone on of our games.''

England's World Cup Group C campaign in South Africa, which begins against the United States on June 12 in Rustenburg, is not occupying Ferdinand's thoughts, despite the prospect of the defender lifting the trophy in Johannesburg on July 11.

''It's the last thing on your mind, if I'm honest,'' he added. ''All I'm thinking about is the result the other night (against Bayern Munich), which was very disappointing and now I'm thinking about Blackburn. I don't think much past that, to be honest.

''We don't have an England game between now and the end of the season so my thoughts are solely on Manchester United.''

The defender has been restricted to 10 appearances this season by a back injury. But he is confident the problem is now resolved and he can play a full role in the title run-in and the World Cup campaign.

''It was serious enough to shut down and do nothing for a couple of months and work out what the problem was,'' he said. ''We got to the root of the problem and I'm playing week-in, week-out. I played three games in seven or eight days last week or two weeks ago for the first time in a long time with no problem, so that hopefully puts me in good stead for the next couple of games.''

RIO FERDINAND will have the honour of wearing Bobby Moore's No 6 shirt in the testimonial for West Ham youth coach Tony Carr next Wednesday.

The 1966 World Cup-winning skipper wore that number but it was retired by the Hammers following Moore's death from cancer in 1993.

Carr has named Ferdinand ahead of the likes of Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Frank Lampard, Glen Johnson and Paul Ince as his star pupil during a 30-year career at Upton Park.

Carr, 59, said: "I guess Rio nicks it because he had it all, even as a kid.

"He was quick, he could jump, pass and defend.

"He was a superb athlete and had reams of natural talent.

"I want to give him the No 6 shirt next week because he is England captain and that number belonged to another special England skipper still much loved at this club.

"I hope it could be the secret weapon to bring the World Cup back this summer."

Look who's back: Rio Ferdinand gives Manchester United a timely boost on his return to West Ham

Ferdinand, who has started only 11 Barclays Premier League games this season, was granted permission by Sir Alex Ferguson to travel to London and pay respect to the West Ham academy director responsible for so much of his early development at Upton Park.

Ferdinand partnered his brother Anton in West Ham's clash with the Academy All Stars and looked untroubled as he came through the opening 28 minutes before being substituted.

Carr said: 'Rio has been struggling with his back for a couple of weeks but I give Sir Alex credit.

'I got a call from Rio and he said he was getting on a train with permission to play by Fergie.'

It was a night to remember for Carr, who has given 37 years of service to the club and brought through seven current England players.

Rio Ferdinand proves his fitness for England in Tony Carr's testimonial
-guardian.co.uk-

Rio Ferdinand gave a lift to Manchester United and England after playing for 27 minutes in Tony Carr's testimonial match at Upton Park.

Ferdinand has been troubled by back and groin problems all season, which have restricted him to only 11 Premier League starts for United.

The England captain made his return from three weeks on the sidelines as a late substitute in last weekend's victory over Sunderland.

Sir Alex Ferguson had given Ferdinand permission to continue his comeback tonight by honouring the man who gave him his start as a professional.

Ferdinand partnered his brother Anton in the centre of defence for the West Ham Academy All-Stars and was untroubled during his cameo in a game that never rose above pedestrian pace.

"Rio rang me this morning at a quarter to nine to say he was heading to the train station to come down and that he could play 20 minutes," said Carr, who has overseen the development of seven current England internationals.

With Chelsea concentrating on winning the title on Sunday, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and John Terry were not allowed to play but all three were present at Upton Park.

Michael Carrick, whose wife has just had their second child, Glen Johnson and Jermain Defoe sent their apologies along with Fulham's Paul Konchesky, who was playing against Stoke. Bobby Zamora was with the Fulham squad but did not play because of injury.

Ferdinand: MU Harus Siap Terima Hukuman

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/04/05/0105108p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Defender dan kapten Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand menilai, timnya harus menerima hukuman karena kesalahan sebelumnya dengan gagal meraih gelar juara. Namun, dia berharap Chelsea terpeleset dan MU langsung merebut gelar juara.

Chelsea masih memimpin klasemen dengan nilai 83, unggul satu poin dari MU. Minggu (9/5/2010) akan menjadi pertandingan terakhir Premier League. Chelsea menjamu Wigan Athletic, sedangkan MU menjamu Stoke City. Jika Chelsea seri saja dan MU menang, maka gelar akan kembali ke Old Trafford. Namun jika Chelsea menang, maka merekalah yang juara.

MU memang tampil kurang maksimal di musim ini. Mereka sudah kalah tujuh kali. Itu kekalahan terbanyak sejak musim kompetisi 2003-04. "Ini musim yang aneh," kata Ferdinand.

"Ketika gelar juara ditentukan oleh hasil pertandingan tim lain, maka kami harus siap menerima hukumannya (gagal juara, Red). Kami melakukan pekerjaan dengan kemampuan terbaik. Sekarang, kami tinggal berharap terjadi sesuatu yang mendukung kami," tambahnya.

"Kami akan mengakhiri perjuangan dengan kegagalan jika tak bermain sebaik mungkin pada Minggu nanti. Ini memang musim yang gila. Aku harap kami tak perlu membuat kekecewaan dan penyesalan lagi pada Minggu nanti. Kemudian, kami tinggal belajar dari musim ini untuk menuju musim berikutnya," terangnya. (AP)

Rio Ferdinand's recovery brings fresh hope for United and England
The Manchester United defender is hoping to turn a winter of discontent to his advantage this summer

Rio Ferdinand has started only 11 league games for Manchester United this season. If that has caused him the most "frustrated, disappointing 18 months" of his glittering career, the next few weeks hold plenty of excitement. The man who hopes to raise the World Cup for England in South Africa on 11 July is ready to take his place in the climax of the title race tomorrow, before enjoying a summer he hopes will rank alongside the golden one 44 years ago when Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley.

"Disappointing, frustrating, all those kinds of words spell it out for me really," he says of this season. "Fingers crossed I'll have an injury-free period now and I can go into the World Cup fairly fresh and be one of the guys with the fresh legs. Last season [and this one] has been the worst injury-prone [time] of my career, really. It took a bit of getting used to."

The same could probably be said of United's position in the Premier League table, second after three successive seasons of coming out on top. Ferdinand is conscious that Wigan Athletic will have to turn in a superb performance when they travel to Chelsea, needing at least a draw to give meaning to Stoke City's visit to Old Trafford. "We'll have to wait and see," the 31-year-old says. "Hopefully we'll do our job and then all we can do is to hope and pray Wigan do us a favour. But at the end of the day the best team will win the championship. And if that's us well and great."

Ferdinand is open when asked about the failure of Manchester City, United's cash-soaked, ever-improving cross-town rivals, to secure a Champions League berth for next season, after they were defeated 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur at Eastlands on Wednesday. "I think if they'd have finished fourth this year they'd have been an even bigger threat next season. They can attract the players from Europe, [and] people would have been enticed to go not only for the money but because they were going to be in the Champions League. So them not finishing there ... I don't think we fear them but we're aware of them."

Liverpool had been United's great enemy ever since Alex Ferguson walked into Old Trafford in November 1986 and began his campaign to match the Anfield Liver bird. With mission accomplished, as the club that Bill Shankly built have now failed for two decades to add to their 18 championships, Ferdinand believes the Manchester derby may have overtaken any clash with Liverpool. "I think for the last few years – I've been at United for eight years – and probably up until last season when the money was injected into City, Liverpool was a bigger game in terms of rivalry," he says. "I think now they have the money we're more aware of them."

Ferdinand feels pride for Harry Redknapp, his first manager at West Ham, and his achievement in taking Tottenham into the European Cup for only a second time in their history. "I'm delighted for Harry," he says. "He's at a club now where he's being given money to spend and you're seeing the fruits of that. He's a great man- manager, a different kind of manager to [Fabio] Capello and Ferguson, he's more someone who cajoles his payers.

"He'll look at you and make you walk out in the pitch like you're a million dollars, seven feet tall and going to be a great player. I was 15, 16 years old [at West Ham] and I thought I was the next Maradona coming through. He sent me out to Bournemouth [on loan]. I didn't really want to go but I had a great two months."

It was a decision that has stood Ferdinand in good stead, the start of a long journey that will take him to South Africa this summer as the England captain. After Fabio Capello names his 30-man provisional World Cup squad on Tuesday, Ferdinand is expected to lead England in the warm-up games against Mexico and Japan at the end of the month, having missed March's friendly with Egypt through injury. Then he hopes to arrive at England's Rustenburg training camp for his fourth World Cup feeling the best he has for a year and a half.

Of his current condition Ferdinand says: "I feel good. Hopefully I'll play [tomorrow], hopefully that'll put me in good stead for the coming summer, fingers crossed." Could freshness be the one blessing to come out of his injury problems? "I hope there is, yeah. I think that's the only way I can get a positive in the situation I've been in the last 18 months really. "

He is clear, too, that Wayne Rooney, who has struggled with first an ankle injury, and now a groin problem, must also be healthy if England are to have any hope of emulating the boys of 1966. "The big thing is we need to go to the tournament with him fit and if we do that then we've got a chance. People keep saying do you reckon he can deal with it? He's been dealing with it since he was 14 years old. He was sponsored [by a car company] when he was 14, 15 before he'd even passed his [driving] test so he's had things coming to him since day one. Having it now, the expectation on his shoulders is nothing to him."

For evidence he points to Rooney's fine performances during this campaign, filling the void created by the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez by scoring 34 goals, and collecting the PFA and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards.

"At the beginning of the season you couldn't have a more pressurised situation at a club like Manchester United than two of your biggest goalscorers from the season before or two of your most productive players [leaving] and then everyone's looking to him," Ferdinand says. "He's took it in his shoulders and run with it, 30-odd goals this year and he's doing well. He's probably in the top three talented players I've been on the pitch with to be honest: Ronaldo, Wayne and Scholesy [Paul Scholes]. He's just a phenomenal talent."

Rooney's recent injuries suggest he, too, may find a fillip in a timely rest before embarking upon his task in South Africa. Ferdinand believes this, and enforced breaks this season to other England players, including Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Theo Walcott and Aaron Lennon, could be crucial to Capello's project. "We always go into tournaments with guys who have played 40, 50, late 50-odd games in a season. I remember at the 2002 World Cup against Brazil, a lot of their players had played, 32, 33 games. Fingers crossed we've got a few players who've had injuries who might get into the squad. That'll freshen us up, that'll get us into the latter stages and when you get there, who knows?"

Ferdinand has no doubts about Capello's abilities. "The minute he walked into the hotel and changing rooms you got a gist of what he wanted. Its easy to see why he's successful everywhere he's been. He's been to [Real] Madrid twice and won the league there. At Roma, when they weren't doing well, he won the league there. Milan had one of the best teams ever maybe, so he's got a winning mentality.

"The thing I always say is that he doesn't have any grey areas. It's all straight black and whites: 'This is what I want. If you can't do it see you later, someone else can do it.' I think that's probably the problem we've had the last few times we've been to tournaments. There's [not] really been a straightforward plan: 'This is what you're doing, this is what happens if you can't do it, I will find people and you'll be out.' The players respond to that, I think that's what we see at our clubs.

"It's like our gaffer [Ferguson] at United. He doesn't suffer fools, he won't have it and you see the success we've had. I think Arsène Wenger's pretty similar as well."

Ferdinand believes that attitude will be England's major difference from four years ago in Germany under Sven-Goran Eriksson. "There's a different mentality," he says. "I think the mentality beforehand was: 'Yeah we want to get through and stuff.' But there's a genuine belief under this manager to go out there and do the right job and fingers crossed we can go out there and do it."

Ferguson, though, will always be the man who has shaped his career most. What is it like to play for him? "Its brilliant. He's been the best manager I've had, probably the best manager any of us have had. He's similar to Capello in that he demands that you improve all the time, and a lot of it sometimes is through the training.

"On the training ground top players demand it off each other – if someone's not pulling their weight they get told. But the gaffer's always there as a back up to that if people aren't pulling their weight."

Despite the build-up to tomorrow's games Ferdinand found time on Wednesday to journey to Upton Park to play in the testimonial of Tony Carr, his mentor in West Ham's youth team, and offer support later in central London at event for Aspire, a scheme set up by his close friend, Gavin Rose, which hopes to rebuild young footballers' dreams of a professional career. "It's nice to give something back," Ferdinand says. "For Tony Carr, and then Gavin – his foundation is an unbelievable institution, it's been going for eight years and George Elokobi [the Wolves left-back] is the shining light for it. If you can get one like him through, then another one or two in, then you're doing something right."

What Ferdinand also hopes has now been corrected is the back problem. He once told me of how United's brains' trust had studied Milan's ability to prolong the careers of their own premium defenders, Paolo Maldini and Alexander Costacurta, into their 40s.

Does his back mean Ferdinand will now have to manage his body, and does he hope for a career longevity to match those Maldini and Costacurta? "Yeah I think you've just to keep making sure you're keeping your body ticking over. The last couple of years have been a bit stop start with injuries but I'm through the worse of that hopefully," he says.

For always optimistic Three-Lions supporters their desire will be that come July Ferdinand will be the man to follow Moore, and finally lift the nation a second World Cup. Asked if he is looking forward to the challenge this summer the eyes gleam and for a moment incredulity flashes across Ferdinand's face at the question's premise. "Yeah, how can't you be?" he says. "So if all being well, if I'm fit and I'm there, I'll be delighted."

WORLD CUP 2010: England defender Rio Ferdinand vows - Being captain won't change me in South Africa

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/23/article-0-06D2EEE6000005DC-109_468x323.jpg

Rio Ferdinand has vowed being captain of England will not change him.

Ferdinand has arguably profited most from the off-field turmoil that cost John Terry the job he coveted above all others.

Fitness permitting, it will be Ferdinand who leads England into battle for their World Cup opener against the United States in Rustenburg on June 12.

And, should Fabio Capello's men succeed in reaching Soccer City for the final a month later, it will be Ferdinand who has the chance to emulate West Ham legend Bobby Moore by lifting the World Cup for England.

The opportunity is immense, and one that cannot fail to excite even the most laid-back of characters.

Yet Ferdinand insists his head will not be turned. And should anyone in England's squad, either the expanded 30-man provisional party - currently minus Gareth Barry - that is preparing for tomorrow night's friendly with Mexico, or the 23 players Capello will unveil on June 1, want a chat, the 31-year-old will only be too willing to oblige.

'Being captain is a fantastic honour and a responsibility that I warm to,' he said.

'But it is not something that is going to change me. I will conduct myself in exactly the same way.

'Even before I was made captain, the younger players knew I was an easy-going guy who they can approach which, in a way, is more important than being captain.

'When you have been to tournaments, you are more capable of being the kind of person that a younger player might need to speak to.'

Ferdinand has the benefit of experience from three previous World Cups, the first despite not managing to get on the pitch at France 98.

It provides him with a fairly healthy input into the pitfalls England tend to stumble into.

Quite often, these revolve around over-confidence, something that did not look likely as the Three Lions licked their wounds in the wake of that embarrassing failure to reach Euro 2008 that heralded Capello's arrival as Steve McClaren's replacement.

However, such was the swagger with which England booked their place in South Africa - the only dropped points came in a defeat to the Ukraine in Dnipro when goalkeeper Robert Green was sent off inside the first 10 minutes - that once again the talk is when, rather than if, the Three Lions surge to the quarter-finals and beyond.

Yet Ferdinand does not want such statements to permeate the England dressing room. It is one of the things he has heard too many times before.

'There is a confidence. But maybe we have been a bit naive in the past and got ourselves caught up in all the emotion that surrounds our country going to a massive tournament," he said.

'People say we are going to win it. But we have respect for the other nations as well.'

As Ferdinand missed the win over Egypt in March as he was completing his recovery from a long-standing back complaint he insists is no longer a concern, he should be captain in his own right for the first time on Monday.

The game is one of two England must play before Capello makes the final cut,
which, as he knows from experience, can be a shattering blow that ultimately
makes you stronger.

'I was left out of Euro 2000 by Kevin Keegan and was devastated,' he said.

'When I look back though it was a blessing in disguise. It made me re-evaluate
myself and the way I treated football.

'I probably did not give the game the respect it deserved. After that experience I became a better professional, so I should thank Kevin Keegan for that.

'You can't let it kill you, or finish you confidence-wise. You have to turn it into a positive.'

Ferdinand, Kapten yang Easy-Going
Rossi Finza Noor - Piala Dunia 2010

London - Rio Ferdinand selama ini dikenal sebagai seorang santai dan easy-going. Perangai ini tak akan berubah sekali pun kini dia sudah menjabat sebagai kapten Inggris.

Dibandingkan dengan kapten Inggris sebelumnya, John Terry, yang memiliki sifat lebih serius dan kerap menjadi orator sebelum pertandingan, Ferdinand adalah sosok yang lebih flamboyan. Ia lebih banyak tersenyum dan melemparkan candaan ketika berada di ruang ganti.

Tetapi, bukan berarti dirinya tak memiliki wibawa. Ferdinand tetaplah sosok yang berpengaruh entah itu di klub atau pun tim nasional. Di Manchester United, bek berusia 31 tahun ini adalah pemain yang pendapatnya paling didengarkan, tentunya di samping sosok-sosok senior seperti Ryan Giggs dan Gary Neville.

Ferdinand menyebut, sosoknya yang santai memudahkannya untuk bergaul, bahkan dengan pemain muda sekali pun. Oleh karenanya, ia lebih bisa membangun kebersamaan tim.

"Menjadi kapten adalah sebuah kehormatan tersendiri dan saya menyukai tanggung jawab ini," ujarnya kepada The Sun.

"Tapi, hal tersebut tak akan mengubah saya. Saya akan tetap seperti biasanya. Bahkan sebelum menjadi kapten para pemain muda tahu bahwa saya adalah orang yang mudah berbaur."

"Bagi saya, hal tersebut jauh lebih penting ketimbang menjadi kapten itu sendiri. Di dalam sebuah turnamen, lebih penting bagi Anda untuk menjadi seseorang yang bisa diajak bicara oleh pemain yang lebih muda," tandasnya.

We're in it to win it - Ferdinand

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand wants England to return from the World Cup with “no regrets” as they start their quest to lift football’s biggest prize for the first time in 44 years.

The England skipper insists Fabio Capello’s side will be content with nothing less than winning the trophy.

However, Ferdinand also acknowledges that England still have plenty of work to do before they face the United States in their opening game on June 12.

Ferdinand, who will be featuring in his fourth World Cup finals, said: “The message when we fly to South Africa is that we are going to be doing our utmost to bring the World Cup back.

"We are not out there to finish second, we are not out there to make the semi-finals and think ‘we’ve done a good job because we have got past the quarter-finals.’

“We are there to go and win it. That is what the build-up has all been about, preparing right, recuperating after training, recuperating after games properly.

“It’s been about making sure that all the minor little details that need doing are done properly to make sure we have the best chance to win.”

Ferdinand will not allow himself the luxury of thinking about lifting the trophy on July 11.

He said: “I don’t get that far ahead. That is what is good about this manager. He doesn’t let anyone think too far ahead and get carried away with themselves.

“I won’t be doing that, thinking and imagining what it is like to win the trophy, until, fingers crossed, it does happen."

Ferdinand: Aku Terkutuk

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/06/05/0119212p.jpg

RUSTENBURG, KOMPAS.com — Agen bek Inggris, Rio Ferdinand, Pini Zahavi, mengatakan, kliennya merasa ada seseorang yang mengutuknya sehingga ia mengalami cedera dan batal tampil di Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan.

Ferdinand seharusnya mendapat tugas menjadi kapten Inggris selama Piala Dunia itu. Namun, dalam sesi latihan, ia mengalami cedera dan hasil pemeriksaan menunjukkan, ia tak bisa bermain di turnamen tersebut.

Pelatih Inggris Fabio Capello pun mencoretnya dan menggantinya dengan Michael Dawson. Gelandang tugas kapten pun diserahkan kepada Steven Gerrard.

"Rio mengatakan, 'Aku pikir seseorang mengutukku'. Itu adalah ungkapan jujur soal apa yang dirasakannya. Rio sangat terpukul. Ia tak mengerti kenapa ini terjadi kepadanya," ungkap Zahavi.

"Cedera itu tak ada kaitannya dengan cederanya sebelum ini. Ini cedera yang berbeda dan merupakan nasib buruk. Padahal, Rio merasa sangat tajam dan siap untuk Piala Dunia."

"Ia telah menunggu begitu lama untuk turnamen ini dan mencoba membantu Inggris menjuarainya. Ia telah menyiapkan diri dengan sangat baik."

"Namun, ia sangat kuat dan akan kembali. Saya yakin, ia akan memimpin Inggris dalam Piala Dunia berikutnya, empat tahun mendatang," ulasnya. (SKY)

Tercoret, Ferdinand Tak Segera Mudik

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/06/04/2217565p.jpg

RUSTENBURG, KOMPAS.com - Sky Sports memberitakan, kapten Inggris, Rio Ferdinand tak langsung meninggalkan Afrika Selatan dan kembali ke Inggris, meski tercoret dari skuad yang akan berlaga di Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan. Menurut mereka, Ferdinand baru akan mudik setelah Inggris melakoni partai pertama mereka di Piala Dunia, yaitu melawan Amerika, Sabtu (12/6/2010).

Ferdinand dicoret dari skuad Inggris setelah mendapat cedera lutut pada sesi latihan timnya, Jumat (4/6/2010). Menurut Sky Sports, Ferdinand membutuhkan waktu pulih selama enam pekan. Ia digantikan bek Michael Dawson.

Selain itu, untuk menggantikan Ferdinand sebagai kapten, pelatih Fabio Capello telah menunjuk Steven Gerrard sebagai pengganti. Adapun, gelandang Frank Lampard diplot sebagai kapten kedua.

Meski semua masalah tampak sudah teratasi, Ferdinand merasa tak perlu buru-buru kembali ke Inggris. Meski kecewa, Ferdinand disebut ingin melihat bagaimana Wayne Rooney dkk berjuang tanpa dirinya, meski hanya di laga perdana. Setelah laga itu usai, barulah Ferdinand bertolak ke Inggris.

Tanpa Ferdinand, posisi bek tengah diperebutkan oleh empat pemain, yaitu Dawson, Matthew Upson, Jamie Carragher, dan Ledley King. Keempat pemain ini punya waktu empat hari untuk menarik perhatian Capello dalam sesi latihan. (SKY)

United's Rio recall
-menmedia.co.uk-

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand’s stay in South Africa may be cut short by the Old Trafford medics.

Although the injured England skipper will remain with the squad at least until their World Cup opener against the United States on Saturday, the need to make sure the centre-back is ready for the new season may ensure he watches the closing stages of the tournament on his living room TV.

Coach Fabio Capello is keen for Ferdinand to stay but United will hope to have him fit for their North American tour next month.

The Reds star has been forced to withdraw after suffering a knee ligament injury in training on Friday – barely 24 hours after arriving.

Capello already has injured talisman David Beckham in the party, although he is not engaged in any official coaching capacity.

Meanwhile, former United and England captain Bryan Robson sympathises with Ferdinand’s plight.

Two of Robson’s three World Cup campaigns were ended by injury and he said: “It’s the biggest disappointment you can possibly receive.

“I think Rio was a little concerned about his back. He’d had problems with it in the early part of the season but he had got over those.

“He was going into this World Cup fully fit. So to go into a tackle in training and damage your knee is a big blow for the lad, and for England. But injuries happen in football. I think England can still win the World Cup.

“There’s enough strength in that centre-half position to cope with Rio’s loss.”

Heskey Agony Over Rio KO

EMILE HESKEY has spoken of his hell at knowing he put Rio Ferdinand out of the World Cup.
England skipper Ferdinand damaged knee ligaments in training when he tackled Heskey and the Aston Villa striker fell on his left leg.

The incident happened on Friday and was described as a freak accident by Ferdinand.

However, Heskey has found it hard to cope.

The striker said: "I spoke to Rio afterwards and he told me there was nothing I could do but it was still difficult for me.

"What happened was that I tried to turn the ball round the corner and fell backwards onto him but his leg was in a position where he couldn't actually move it.

"There was nothing you could do.

"Knowing he is out of the World Cup was very difficult.

"He is our captain and has been a great player through the years for England and at club level.

"It was just one of those things."

Heskey is being tipped to start Saturday night's World Cup opener against the United States despite a record of just seven goals in 58 appearances for England.

Boss Fabio Capello believes the 32-year-old causes major problems for opposition defences, wearing them down with his physical style.

And Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard always seem to be more effective when the burly hitman is playing.

Heskey conceded: "Forwards are judged on their goalscoring.

"People do look at that. But I like to think I bring a lot more to the game and I do get pleasure from assisting.

"I also get pleasure from being part of a winning side.

"I do sometimes think I could have done better in certain situations and got a goal myself but that is part and parcel of the game."

WORLD CUP 2010: Injured Rio Ferdinand can stay with England squad in South Africa, says Capello
-dailymail.co.uk-

Fabio Capello has told Rio Ferdinand he can stay with the England team for the World Cup.

Ferdinand plans to return to Manchester United for an assessment on his injured knee after England's opener against the USA on Saturday.

But once a rehabilitation programme has been devised, he hopes to return to South Africa to support his colleagues.

Suffering : Knee-injury victim Rio Ferdinand is forced to watch England prepare for the World Cup without him

It would mean Ferdinand and David Beckham taking up some time of England's medical team when their first priority should be to the players in the squad.

But just as Capello sees value in having Beckham around the camp, he believes the presence of his captain could also have a positive effect.

On Monday, Ferdinand spoke for the first time about the injury he suffered during Friday's training session.

Talking to the BBC, he said: 'It was just a freak accident. The ball got played into Emile Heskey. I was coming behind him to make a tackle. We both went off balance and my parted leg got stuck in the grass and all my weight went on the one leg.

'I knew straight away that there was something serious. I heard a snap in my knee and I knew before I went to the hospital that I wouldn't be able to play. It is disappointing but I have come to terms with it.

Return : Ferdinand may travel back to South Africa to cheer on his England team-mates after first returning to Manchester United

'The first night was a long night, going over what might have been and the emotions of not being able to represent your country at a World Cup.

'But I was waiting in the hospital when a guy was wheeled in half-dead after a car accident and you quickly get a sense of perspective.

'So hopefully I am going to come back and do some good rehab and get fit. That is what I am concentrating on.'

Ferdinand says his only concern is how his son has taken the news.

'My little boy is at a good age where he knew his dad was going to lead out his country,' he said.

'To talk to him about what has happened when I get back - that leaves a sour taste.'

Ferdinand focused on United return

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand will not be returning to South Africa for the remainder of England's World Cup campaign as he builds up his fitness for the start of the new Premier League season.

Ferdinand returned to Manchester on Sunday to have his knee injury assessed after remaining in Rustenburg to watch England's first game against the United States.

It had been thought the 31-year-old would eventually head back to be part of England's bid for glory after injuring his knee in a "freak" accident involving Emile Heskey on the first full day of training almost a fortnight ago.

However, having been assessed by Manchester United medical staff it had now been decided Ferdinand will head off for a short break with his family before returning to Carrington for more intensive treatment.

"Rio has been assessed by club medical staff at Carrington this week and is making good early progress from his knee injury," read a short statement released by United.

"Medical staff have advised a two-week recuperation period with his family before returning to Carrington to complete the rehabilitation process."

Although United have not put a timescale on Ferdinand's likely return to action, given the two-week break he has now embarked on, there must be a doubt over the defender being part of the club's summer tour to North America when they leave on July 12.

There would be more confidence of him being available for the Premier League opener against Newcastle at Old Trafford on August 14 and England's friendly with Hungary at Wembley three days before that.

Ferdinand Bisa Tampil di Laga Pembuka
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

Manchester - Kabar baik datang dari Rio Ferdinand. Bek Manchester United tersebut diperkirakan sudah akan pulih dan siap tampil di laga pembuka Premier League menghadapi Newcastle United.

Musim lalu bisa dibilang 'kurang bersahabat' terhadap Ferdinand. Ia beberapa kali dibebat cedera yang membuat dia absen membela MU dalam waktu yang tidak sebentar.

Nasib kurang beruntung tersebut berlanjut di level timnas. Baru sebentar setelah ia sembuh dari satu cedera, Ferdinand lantas mengalami cedera lutut akibat bertabrakan dengan Emile Heskey saat berlatih untuk mempersiapkan Piala Dunia.

Pahit bagi dia, cedera itu bikin Ferdinand out dari turnamen sekaligus kehilangan kesempatan untuk bermain sebagai kapten The Three Lions.

Diberitakan AFP, MU memperkirakan setidaknya Ferdinand butuh 10 pekan untuk recovery terhitung sejak ia mengalami cedera. Jika prediksi ini tepat, bek berusia 31 tahun ini akan tampil di laga kandang MU melawan Newcastle, 14 Agustus meskipun akan melewatkan laga Community Shield melawan Chelsea seminggu sebelumnya.

Selanjutnya, 'Setan Merah' akan menghadapi Fulham (21/8) dan West Ham tujuh hari kemudian.

Ferdinand could face Toon

Rio Ferdinand could be fit for the opening day of the 2010/11 league season, contrary to some press reports that he faces several months on the sidelines.

A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com that a ten-week absence has been estimated for the defender, dating back to when his injury was sustained, in pre-World Cup training on Friday 4 June.

On that basis, Ferdinand could be ready by Friday 13 August - currently the eve of the first league game against Newcastle United at Old Trafford, although fixture changes for live television broadcasts have yet to be announced.

If the Magpies clash is deemed slightly too soon for Rio, then other possible comeback games include Fulham away on the following weekend or the third league match at home to his old club West Ham, currently scheduled for Saturday 28 August.

As always, keep an eye on ManUtd.com for official updates and news direct from the club.

Aktif Twitter-an, Ferdinand Bisa Dimarahi Fergie
http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/07/16/424/Screenshot200.jpg
Beritabola.com Manchester - Rio Ferdinand mungkin akan kena omelan dari manajernya di Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson. Bukan karena performa terkait sepakbola tetapi karena aktivitas Ferdinand di Twitter.

Fergie --sapaan Ferguson-- disebut The Sun punya peraturan ketat yang tak membolehkan para pemainnya terlibat dalam situs jejaring sosial macam Facebook dan Twiiter, atau bahkan memiliki akunnya sekali pun.

Nah, Ferdinand yang gabung 'Setan Merah' sedari tahun 2002 bukan hanya memiliki akun di Twitter dengan nama "rioferdy5", tapi juga cukup aktif nge-twit. Tengok salah satu tweet Ferdinand sekitar sehari lalu.

"Semua rumor tentang Owen Hargreaves pensiun sama sekali jauh dari kebenaran," tulis Ferdinand.

Itu hanyalah satu dari Tweet Ferdinand yang juga sempat melakukan jajak pendapat untuk para followernya, dengan meminta mereka menyebut nama pemain terbaik dunia dalam sejarah. Sejauh ini total ada total 425 tweet tercatat dalam akun rioferdy5, yang memiliki sekitar 34 ribuan follower.

Tak takut dimarahi Fergie, Ferdinand?

Ferdinand fitness vital to United's title mission

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/309.$plit/C_71_article_1301956_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?16%2F07%2F2010%2007%3A54%3A40%3A897

Manchester United have been warned they need Rio Ferdinand back to full fitness if they want to wrest the title back from Chelsea.

The Reds centre-back missed England’s ill-fated World Cup campaign after a training ground injury.

And he was absent from much of United’s Premier League battle with eventual champions Chelsea last term with a series of back problems.

However, former Old Trafford defender Gary Pallister is hoping England’s loss may prove to be United’s gain with Ferdinand returning back for the start of the new domestic campaign refreshed after his unexpected summer rest.

“I’ve suffered back injuries and have experienced how difficult it is to manage,” said Pallister. “My problems started when I was 30 and every now and then I’d be out for four or five weeks at a time.

“Rio was out for three months last season. I don’t know the full extent of his problem, but I know it can be very difficult to manage. You have to accept you are going to miss games because it’s such a difficult place to treat.

“I hope he gets fit, gets a full pre-season and comes back firing because a fit Rio Ferdinand is a massive boost to United.”

The knee injury, picked up in an innocuous incident with Emile Heskey that ruled him out of the World Cup, was just the latest in a catalogue of fitness problems that have plagued the centre-back over the past 18 months.

Ferdinand’s return will be crucial to United’s hopes *but whether that is alongside Nemanja Vidic remains to be seen with the Serbian being courted by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Ferdinand’s authority was something that was sorely missed for long periods last term.

“Chris Smalling is coming in and Jonny Evans is a capable deputy. But, hopefully, there are a couple more years in Ferdinand, who has a vast amount of experience,” added Pallister.

Man Utd's Rio Ferdinand 'six weeks from return'

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/48477000/jpg/_48477932_ferdinand3.jpg
Ferdinand's injury ruled him out of the World Cup in South Africa

England captain Rio Ferdinand's knee problem may sideline him until early September, according to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 31-year-old suffered a ligament injury while training with England on 4 June, putting him out of the World Cup.

"Rio is probably around six weeks away from playing," Ferguson told the Manchester United website.

It means the defender is doubtful for England's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland in September.

It was initially hoped that Ferdinand would be fit for Manchester United's opening Premier League game against Newcastle on 16 August.

However, the latest prognosis means he is likely to miss two further league games, away at Fulham on 22 August and the game against West Ham at Old Trafford on 28 August.

Ferdinand suffered his injury in a collision with team-mate Emile Heskey during England's first training session in Rustenburg as they prepared for the World Cup in South Africa.

The injury was a devastating end to what had been a disappointing season for Ferdinand, who was restricted to only 13 Premier League starts for United and 21 appearances overall because of a back injury.

He will definitely miss England's first post-World Cup friendly against Hungary on 11 August and manager Fabio Capello is unlikely to risk him against Bulgaria and Switzerland on 3 and 7 September unless he has seen competitive action for his club before then.

In more positive news for United, meanwhile, right-back Gary Neville and winger Antonio Valencia have returned to full training following a calf injuries.

However, striker Michael Owen (hamstring) has yet to resume training and midfielder Anderson is due to return in late September from the cruciate ligament injury he suffered in February.

With the rest of the squad returning to England following their pre-season tour of the United States, midfielder Owen Hargreaves has remained behind to continue treatment after a recurrence of his long-standing tendinitis problem.

'Rio? Tunggu Bulan Depan'
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

Manchester - Manajer Manchester Sir Alex Ferguson tidak ingin terlalu memaksakan Rio Ferdinand untuk tampil. Manajer asal Skotlandia itu mengatakan Rio butuh waktu isitirahat sekitar sebulan lagi.

Ferdinand mengalami cedera dalam persiapan Inggris menuju Piala Dunia 2010. Alhasil eks bek Leeds United itu gagal berangkat ke Afrika Selatan.

Dalam dua bulan terakhir, pemain berusia 31 tahun itu melewatkannya untuk pemulihan cedera. Setelah dia divonis tidak bisa tampil untuk MU di awal musim, kini kemungkinan besar Setan Merah harus menunggu lebih lama untuk penampilan Ferdinand.

"Kondisi Rio masih jauh dari siap. Dia memang sudah melakukan sedikit latihan joging dan hal-hal semacamnya, namun saya pikir dia masih butuh istirahat sebulan lagi," ujar Ferguson seperti dikutip dari The Press Association.

Manajer MU sejak 1986 itu tidak ingin terburu-buru memainkan Ferdinand karena cedera yang dialami cukup berisiko. "Kami selalu mengantisipasi bahwa cedera macam ini butuh waktu untuk penyembuhan. Ini cedera ligamen lutut dan, meski ini bukan cedera yang serius, tapi ini cedera yang berat. Anda harus bersabar dalam penyembuhan ini," terang Sir Alex.

"Rio sudah menjalani 12 bulan yang kurang bagus dan kami berharap kondisinya semakin membaik baginya. Anda berharap istirahat selama musim panas dan absen di Piala Dunia akan membantunya. Cedera punggungnya tampak sudah membaik namun kemudian dia mengalami cedera kunci paha," tuntas dia.

Bila sesuai dengan perkiraan, maka Ferdinand kemungkinan besar absen dalam setidaknya lima laga awal MU di Liga Primer, termasuk salah satunya ketika menghadapi Liverpool pada 19 September. (nar/nar)

Ferdinand back in September
MEN - August 20, 2010


Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he expects Rio Ferdinand to be back in action by the end of September.
Ferdinand suffered medial ligament damage on the first day of World Cup training in South Africa following a freak accident involving Emile Heskey.

There were initial suggestions from Manchester United that the 31-year-old would be back for the new season.

However, United pushed that deadline back and Ferguson confirmed the England skipper remains on schedule.

"We are still thinking the end of September for Rio," said the United boss.

"It was a medial ligament problem rather than a cruciate, so the recovery time is exactly what we thought.

"It was a freak. It is nothing to do with his back. We just had to treat it the proper way. These things are never easy."

It seems midfielder Anderson is much nearer a comeback after returning to training on Thursday.

The 22-year-old did suffer a cruciate ligament injury in February that ended his season and wrecked his hopes of appearing at the World Cup for Brazil.

However, while a comeback for Sunday's trip to Fulham is out of the question, the former Porto man may be in contention for a first-team spot immediately after the next international break.

Ferdinand Bisa Comeback Lebih Cepat
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

Jakarta - Manchester United menerima kabar baik dari Rio Ferdinand. Defender internasional Inggris itu dilaporkan bisa kembali lebih cepat dari yang diperkirakan sebelumnya.

Aksi Ferdinand di atas lapangan akan bisa disaksikan kembali dalam waktu dekat ini. Diberitakan The Sun, ada kemungkinan dia dapat merumput lagi dalam dua pekan ke depan.

Ferdinand mengalami cedera lutut parah menjelang dimulainya pagelaran Piala Dunia 2010. Cedera ini pula yang memupuskan harapannya bisa berlaga di pesta sepakbola terakbar tersebut.

Sebelumnya, Sir Alex Ferguson telah mengatakan bahwa Ferdinand baru bisa kembali bermain sekitar bulan Oktober. Tetapi, perkembangan kondisi bek 31 tahun ini sangat pesat dalam seminggu belakangan dan sudah mampu melakukan latihan ringan.

Latihan tersebut berjalan lancar dan Ferdinand tidak lagi merasakan rasa sakit. Kabarnya, mantan Leeds United ini telah berlatih dengan skuad utama MU sejak Senin silam.

Kondisi ini jelas menguntungkan MU yang dihadapkan pada sejumlah kompetisi. Dan apabila prediksinya tepat, Ferdinand kemungkinan sudah bisa diturunkan di laga Premier League menghadapi Everton (12/9) dan Glasgow Rangers di ajang Liga Champions dua hari setelahnya.

Rio back in training



Despite being ruled out until the end of September last week, Rio Ferdinand has surprised everyone at Carrington by returning to training.

A knee ligament injury, suffered in the build-up to the World Cup, was expected to keep Ferdinand sidelined for the next few weeks. But he has made siginificant strides forward in the last few days much to the delight of his manager.

"Rio has trained this week," confirmed Sir Alex at his Friday press briefing. "He's surprised me with his progress, it's fantastic.

"Anderson has trained with the first team all week, as has Wayne Rooney which is really good news."

Sir Alex confirmed that Ferdinand won't be involved against West Ham on Saturday, but said he will train with the Reserves today and will look to give the centre-half some playing time in the next two weeks.

Rio Ferdinand to make Manchester United comeback for reserves against Oldham
-telegraph.co.uk-

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01706/rio_ferdinand_1706414c.jpg

Rio Ferdinand will make his long-awaited comeback for Manchester United in a reserve team game against Oldham Athletic tonight.

The game at Stalybridge will take on far more significance than a usual Manchester Senior Cup tie as it will represent Ferdinand's first game since he was injured in a freak collision with Emile Heskey on the first day of training at the World Cup in South Africa.

Sir Alex Ferguson had stated that the 31-year-old would not be fit to return until the end of September.

However, at his weekly press conference last Friday, Ferguson revealed his defender had made a rapid recovery from the knee ligament problem and said he would be finding a game for him during the international break.

The Oldham match represents a suitable opportunity and if Ferdinand does come through unscathed he is expected to come into contention for a first-team comeback at Everton on Sept 11, which represents the start of a hectic week that also includes home games against Rangers and Liverpool.

Ferdinand will be joined in the Manchester United line-up by Wes Brown, midfielder Anderson, who is also on his way back from long-term injury, and Federico Macheda.

Rio poised for return
-skysports.com-

http://img.skysports.com/10/09/218x298/riocrop_2497268.jpg

Red Devils skipper declared fit and ready for comeback.

Manchester United reserve team boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has declared Rio Ferdinand fit to make a first-team comeback.

The defender, who has been recovering from a major knee ligament problem, came through Wednesday night's second string clash with Oldham unscathed.

The reserves encounter marked the first time Ferdinand had seen action since sustaining the injury in a freak collision with Emile Heskey on the first day of World Cup training with England.

The knock ruled the 31-year-old out of the South Africa tournament, dashing his hopes of captaining his country for the event.

It also saw him miss the opening three games of United's Premier League campaign, as well as the start of England's Euro 2012 qualifying challenge.

However, it appears Ferdinand could return for United's league clash with Everton at Goodison Park on September 11th after a solid display at the low-key arena of Bower Fold in Stalybridge.

Delighted

"Rio is always the same player," said Solskjaer. "It is a while since he has played but he was still calm.

"He has got through an important 45 minutes, straight after two very hard training sessions yesterday and the day before so we are delighted with him."

Solskjaer was quick to dispel any concerns that Ferdinand's failure to play the entire 90 minutes was down to a recurrence of the injury.

"There was no problem whatsoever," he added.

"It was always planned that he would play 45 minutes. I am not sure he needs any more games. Rio is a naturally fit lad.

"Today was about distances and getting tighter to the ball. Now he is available for selection again."

Wednesday's match, which was goalless when Ferdinand departed but ended in a 2-1 win to United, also saw midfielder Anderson play a full 90 minutes as he recovers from a cruciate operation.

Rio Ferdinand larks about on the beach as he scoffs ice-cream and shows off his diving skills on holiday in France
-dailymail.co.uk-

His Manchester United team-mate might be facing a personal hell but Rio Ferdinand appears not to have a care in the world.

The centre-back looked very relaxed as he enjoyed a break in the south of France with his wife Rebecca Ellison.

And he happily scoffed on an ice cream cone before showing off his diving skills to a couple of admiring youngsters.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-1309888-0B1367A2000005DC-271_468x458.jpg
Checking their messages: Rio Ferdinand and his wife Rebecca play with their mobile phones as they relax on holiday in France

He and Rebecca snuggled up on their sun loungers on the beach as they played with their phones, no doubt catching up on the news back home.

And although it was only a short break for the couple, who jetted back to the UK from Nice yesterday, they both looked refreshed, tanned and in love.

Ferdinand, 31, and Rebecca had been in France when news of his England and Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney apparently having cheated on wife Coleen with prostitute Jennifer Thompson first emerged.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-1309888-0B135991000005DC-47_468x348.jpg
It's cold! Rio turns his nose up as he takes a lick of his ice-cream....

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-1309888-0B135B77000005DC-404_468x319.jpg
....before he decides to shove the whole thing in his mouth

And while Ferdinand may have been concerned about his team-mate, he appeared most set on spending time with Rebecca and returning home to their two sons, Lorenz and Tate.

Despite the fact Rio was himself alleged to have had a fling with a model while on his stag week earlier this year, Rebecca apparently decided to give their marriage another shot.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-1309888-0B136093000005DC-525_224x423.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-1309888-0B1363CB000005DC-937_224x423.jpg
Look, kids! Rio prepares to dive into the ocean as a couple of young boys watch

So it's no wonder she might be worried about Coleen, who she has spent many nights out with including the Player Of The Year awards in May, as she may know exactly how Mrs Rooney feels.

Coleen was photographed yesterday leaving her parents Tony and Colette McLoughlin's house for the first time since the allegations about Rooney's extra-martial activities broke.

Still in love: Rio Ferdinand and wife Rebecca Ellison looked happy together as they travelled back from Nice

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-0-0B108BC1000005DC-684_468x377.jpg
Happy family: The pair, who married in 2009, have two children together

The 24-year-old is believed to have told Wayne: 'I don't need you anymore. I don't want to see you. Just go and play football', as he prepared to play for England in Switzerland.

It has now been claimed that Coleen is preparing to head to the Barbados holiday home owned by her and Wayne to collect her thoughts.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-0-0B108B29000005DC-373_224x490.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/07/article-0-0B108BC9000005DC-650_228x492.jpg
Pretty: Rebecca looked beautiful in a white embellished kaftan top

But despite the new claims, Ferdinand and Rebecca appeared to be happier than ever as they headed home.

The pair, who married in 2009, met when Rebecca was an accountant and have been together ever since.

Ferdinand Enggan Lepas Ban Kapten
Bayu Marhaenjati

Di tengah santernya kabar, bahwa ban kapten timnas Inggris bakal diberikan kepada Steven Gerrard, kapten dan bek Inggris, Rio Ferdinand, tetap berharap akan menyandang gelar leader di skuad The Three Lions.

Ketika ditanya apakah dirinya khawatir ban kapten akan disematkan kepada Gerrad atau siapapun, pilar belakang Manchester United itu mengungkapkan, menurutnya Capello hanya memberikan ban kapten kepada pemain lain untuk sementara waktu saja, sampai cedera yang dialaminya sembuh.

Namun, sepertinya Capello memberikan sinyal yang berbeda. Menurutnya, Gerrard nyatanya mampu menjadi leader yang ciamik, ketika memimpin timnya dalam dua laga kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012.

Tapi, Capello emoh terjebak dengan permasalahan itu. "Bagi saya penampilan pemain lebih penting, bukan ban kapten. Tidak ada prioritas bagi saya. Pemain dan performa tim jauh lebih penting ketimbang ban kapten," ujar Capello.

Sementara itu, skuad Inggris sepertinya mendukung Gerrard untuk menjadi kapten tim. Kondisi Ferdinand yang rentan cedera menjadi faktor dan pertimbangan kuat. Apalagi, bek muda Phil Jagielka mampu tampil konsisten ketika di plot menggantikan posisi Ferdinand.

Ferdinand: Aku Kapten Inggris, Bukan Gerrard

MANCHETSER, KOMPAS.com - Bek Rio Ferdinand, menegaskan bahwa ban kapten tim nasional Inggris adalah miliknya, bukan Steven Gerrard. Menurutnya, bahwa ban kapten diberikan kepada Steven Gerrard sejak Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan, itu karena ia cedera dan berhak mengenakannya kembali saat pulih.

Ferdinand adalah kapten Inggris di Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan. Namun, ia mengalami cedera dan terpaksa dipulangkan Pelatih Fabio Capello. Jabatannya kemudian diambil alih Steven Gerrard yang saat itu menjabat sebagai wakil kapten.

Usai Piala Dunia, Capello tetap menyerahkan ban kapten ke tangan Gerrard karena Ferdinand masih cedera. Media-media Inggris terus memuji penampilan Gerrard yang tampil solid dan mampu memimpin rekan-rekannya di babak kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012. Banyak yang menilai Gerrard lebih pantas menjadi kapten utama Inggris ketimbang Ferdinand.

Ketika ditanya apakah ia yakin jabatan kapten Inggris akan kembali kepadanya, Ferdinand menjawab, "Aku pikir Capello mengatakan hal itu beberapa waktu lalu. Aku kira ia menjawab hal ini saat terakhir kali skuad berkumpul bersama," kata Ferdinand seperti dilansir The Sun.

Bulan lalu, Capello memang menegaskan hal tersebut. "Rio adalah kapten dan Gerrard adalah wakilnya. Rio akan fit, kami harap itu secepat mungkin terjadi dan dia akan menjadi kapten kami lagi," kata Capello.

Ferdinand mengungkapkan ambisinya yang sempat tertunda di Afrika Selatan. Ia ingin memimpin Inggris menghadapi Piala Eropa mendatang. "Memimpin negaraku di sebuah turnamen adalah adalah suatu kehormatan. Aku tak bisa memenuhi hal itu di Piala Dunia lalu," kata pemain Manchester United tersebut. (SUN)

Ferdinand Antara Senang dan Kecewa
Reky Herling Kalumata - detiksport

Manchester - Rio Ferdinand merasa senang bisa kembali merumput bersama Manchester United. Namun bek internasional Inggris ini mengaku kecewa jika bicara hasil dengan Rangers.

Ferdinand telah kembali memperkuat lini belakang MU setelah absen cukup lama karena cedera lututnya. Ia pun langsung memimpin skuadnya menghadapi Rangers di laga perdana Grup C di Old Trafford, Rabu (15/9/2010) dinihari WIB.

"Jujur, sangat menyenangkan bisa kembali dan bermain lagi. Bermain penuh selama 90 menit adalah sangat fantastis dan saya sudah tidak sabar untuk pertandingan selanjutnya," ungkap Ferdinand seperti dilansir Sky Sport.

Meski demikian, comeback-nya Ferdinand terasa tak lengkap karena skuadnya hanya bermain imbang tanpa gol dengan Rangers. Pemain berusia 31 tahun itu pun mengaku merasa kecewa skuadnya gagal menang.

"Rangers datang ke sini dan mengatur untuk bermain bertahan dan mungkin mencoba melakukan serangan balik. Anda harus menghormati itu, mereka telah melakukannya dengan baik apa yang mereka ingin lakukan," ujarnya.

"Kami memiliki beberapa peluang tembakan dari dekat kotak penalti. Namun bola akhir kami tak sebaiknya seharusnya dimana kami bisa mendapatkan tiga poin," keluh Ferdinand. ( key / a2s )

Rio glad to return



Rio Ferdinand's maiden senior match of the season may not have yielded the desired result for the team, but on an individual level it was job done.

The United defender clocked up 90 minutes for the first time since 30 May - when he played in England's final World Cup warm-up match against Japan - and while he was frustrated not to have won, Rio was pleased to have played.

"It was nice to be back, playing football. I’ve waited a long time," he told MUTV.

Ferdinand was one of 10 players brought into the starting line-up, with only Darren Fletcher retaining his place following the weekend's draw with Everton. Rio feels the amendments to the team may prove beneficial, bringing more members of Sir Alex's squad closer to match fitness as the season gathers momentum.

"It’s a squad game and the manager wants to give players minutes on the pitch," said Rio.

"There are people who haven’t played many games - myself included - so we’re obviously delighted with the changes. But the manager makes changes most weeks and it’s never a problem."

As one of the world's leading defenders, Rio is well qualified to judge Rangers' resolute rearguard action. His words of praise will no doubt be appreciated by the Scottish visitors following their escape from Old Trafford with a point.

"They put everything in front of goal and you have to respect that," Ferdinand added.

"A lot of teams come to Old Trafford and defend for their lives and we end up breaking them down. Today that just wasn’t possible – we didn’t do it. But they defended well as a team, so it's well done on their behalf.

"It was just one of those nights for us. Sometimes the decision-making in certain areas of the pitch wasn’t as good as it should have been but that happens and you have to get on with it.

"The only thing we can take from this is that we didn’t lose the game and we didn’t concede. It’s a point and hopefully we can still qualify."

Rio laid low by illness
Giggs forced off against Liverpool due to bug

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Rio Ferdinand missed Manchester United's thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool due to illness.

Ferdinand was expected to retain his place in the United side for Sunday's game after making his comeback from a knee injury against Rangers in midweek.

However, the centre-half was unable to resume his partnership with new captain Nemanja Vidic for the visit of arch-rivals Liverpool.

Jonny Evans started in Ferdinand's absence while veteran winger Ryan Giggs was substituted late on after also complaining of feeling unwell.

United boss Ferguson is now hoping that a bug will not sweep through his squad ahead of Wednesday's Carling Cup tie at Scunthorpe United.

"He was ill at half-time and was feeling really queasy," Ferguson told Sky Sports regarding Giggs, who went straight down the tunnel after being replaced.

"He had a wee bit of a bug and Rio Ferdinand had it last night also.

"Hopefully it's something that's not going to spread."

Rio enjoys run-out

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Scunthorpe+United+v+Manchester+United+Carling+5DPU cp_X3p5l.jpg

Rio Ferdinand praised both sets of supporters and his young sidekick in the Reds' defence following the 5-2 win over Scunthorpe United in the Carling Cup.

Skippering the side on Nemanja Vidic's night off, Ferdinand played the full game and helped the holders to weather an early storm at Glanford Park as the hosts took a shock 1-0 lead.

"It's always going to be a tricky test, coming to a place like this with the crowd really up for it," reflected Rio.

"There was great support from both sets of fans, loads of humour [the United fans sang "Fergie, sign him up" when a streaker invaded the pitch], and the atmosphere really geed Scunthorpe on in the first half.

"But when we got back in the game with a great finish from Gibbo, we settled and started playing and put the game to bed."

After returning in the 0-0 draw with Rangers last week, Ferdinand missed Sunday's win over Liverpool due to illness. The opportunity to play at Scunthorpe was therefore one he welcomed.

"I'm just happy to be playing games now. I'm feeling good, getting sharper with every game so long may it continue," he said.

The battle for places in United's defence has intensified with the arrival of Chris Smalling; Ferdinand had another good look at his competitor and colleague after being paired with him by assistant manager Mike Phelan.

"Chris is willing to learn, he wants to learn, he's hungry. You can see the desire in him," assessed Rio.

"He scored from a bit of a forward's run, across the front and getting a nick on the cross. He's doing well. I think he's taking everything in during training and getting his rewards in games."

Ferdinand, however, declined to give Smalling the "Silks of the Week" award on his Twitter site for the best piece of skill, telling the interviewer, "You've got to go some to get that."

Nasib Ferdinand Tergantung Ferguson
Hendra Mujiraharja - Okezone

MANCHESTER – Rio Ferdinand memang sudah sembuh dari cedera. Namun, bek Manchester United mengaku pasrah dengan keputusan pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferdinand mengalami cedera lutut sehingga gagal membela Timnas Inggris di ajang Piala Dunia 2010, Juni silam. Tiga bulan kemudian Ferdinand sudah bisa bermain kembali. Meski begitu, Ferguson baru memainkannya sekira tiga pertandingan sejauh ini.

Kendati percaya sudah sembuh dari cedera lutut yang selama ini dialaminya, namun mantan punggawa West Ham dan Leeds United tersebut menyadari dan menerima kondisi ini. “Saya merasa bisa bermain dua kali secara beruntun,” kata Ferdinand.

“Ini sangat jelas saya membutuhkan pertandingan sebanyak mungkin. Saya memang sudah tidak bermain cukup lama. Namun, untuk comeback dan langsung bermain mungkin salah,” lanjut mantan kapten Timnas Inggris itu.

“Saya akan menuruti apa yang diminta pelatih. Ferguson merupakan seorang paling berpengalaman di sepakbola. Saya harus mempercayai penilaian dan pandangan pelatih terhadap saya, demi masa depan,” tegas Ferdinand.

Sabtu (2/10/2010), United akan menghadapi Sunderland. “Jika pelatih menginginkan saya untuk bermain Sabtu ini, maka saya dengan senang hati melakukannya,” tandas pemain kelahiran 31 tahun tersebut sebagaimana dilansir Goal, Jumat (1/10/2010). (hmr)

Alan Hansen: Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand must put club before England
Rio Ferdinand is 32 next month and, having had almost two years of injury problems, this period of his career is make-or-break, not just for England, but for everything.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01736/ferdinand_1736040c.jpg

Since December 2008 he has been involved in just 44 of Manchester United’s 105 games and that is an amazing statistic which tells its own story.

If you were a 25 year-old with that track record, you would be in trouble, but at Rio’s age, I think it gives a clear message that he must now decide whether he wants to extend the longevity of his career with United or continue to play for England.

I don’t think he can play for both and there is a real argument to say that he should contemplate following the likes of Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Alan Shearer by retiring from international football.

Having had such a terrible run with injuries, Rio’s priority is to play for United and get back into the groove of performing on a consistent basis of uninterrupted football for at least three months.

If he is looking at his situation as a whole, Rio is such an important figure to United that he must get things right there first.

After having so many injuries and missing so many games, England must now play second best to United if Rio wants to prolong his career.

But for Phil Jagielka having to withdraw from the England squad because of injury for Tuesday’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro, I would have been tempted not to select Rio if I were Fabio Capello.

Although Montenegro are top of the group, it is really a nothing game for England, so why risk Rio in a game he doesn’t need to play?

Jagielka’s injury changes the situation, but that underlines the differences Rio faces between playing for United and England.

At times, some players are so important to the team that managers are tempted to select them when they shouldn’t be playing.

But at United, Sir Alex Ferguson has resisted the temptation to throw Rio straight back into the first team simply because he remains such a crucial figure at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex has waited until he believed Rio to be 100 per cent fit and he has allowed him to be eased back in gently.

Rio is just as important to England, though, and that means his workload will not be reduced on the international stage.

But if he chose to call time on his England career, he would then be able to experience the benefits that have prolonged the playing days of his United team-mates, Giggs and Scholes.

Rio could then focus solely on getting back to playing regularly before enjoying a two-week break whenever the internationals come around.

It will be a huge dilemma for Rio, who has captained England and been such a pivotal figure for his country. But he knows that he now has to prove everybody, and most importantly himself, that he is still capable of performing consistently at the top level for United.

If you have had injuries and niggles, particularly those that stem from a back injury, no matter how many people say that you are fine, the doubts remain in the back of your mind.

No matter how many sports psychologists or physios tell you that the problems have gone, the only way to convince yourself of that is by playing back-to-back games for a long period.

United have struggled to replace Rio while he has been out and John Terry has missed his presence alongside him at the centre of England’s defence.

But if he is to give himself the best possible chance of overcoming his injuries, Rio’s ultimate focus must be on United. If that happens, he will hope that everything else takes care of itself.

Ironically, while Sir Alex would be delighted if he suddenly had Rio all to himself, the United manager will be desperate to see Wayne Rooney in an England shirt against Montenegro.

It could be the first time ever that Ferguson wants his star player to play for his country, but that’s because he knows Rooney needs to get his bad form out of his system.

Rooney needs to play and get his confidence back and the Montenegro game gives him the opportunity to do that.

The flip side will be that Rooney could find himself under even more pressure if he fails to shine against Montenegro, but he is the only person who can get his confidence back and he will have that opportunity at Wembley.

LONDON - Rio Ferdinand kini bisa bernapas lega. Ban kapten Timnas Inggris, yang sempat terancam diambilalih Steven Gerrard, kembali menjadi miliknya.

Cedera yang menghantam bek Manchester United memaksanya absen di perhelatan Piala Dunia 2010. Alhasil, Fabio Capello menunjuk Gerrard untuk memimpin Three Lions. Kendati tersingkir di babak 16 besar, penampilan Gerrard cukup memukau publik Inggris. Terlebih setelah kapten Liverpool menjadi sosok kunci kemenangan Inggris atas Hungaria (2-1) pada laga ujicoba, Agustus lalu.

Gerrard juga memimpin rekan-rekan setimnya merebut poin penuh dalam dua laga Kualifikasi Euro 2012 kontra Bulgaria dan Swiss. Tak ayal, seruan agar Stevie G menggantikan posisi Ferdinand secara permanen ramai terdengar.

Beruntung bagi Ferdinand, Don Fabio masih mempercayainya mengenakan ban kapten. Kabar ini segera ditanggapi bek 31 tahun dengan rasa lega. Apalagi, dia juga sudah bisa diturunkan kala menjamu Montenegro di Wembley, Rabu (13/10/2010) dini hari.

"Sebuah kehormatan bisa menjadi kapten Inggris. Saya sangat senang bisa kembali bermain," tutur Ferdinand kepada Telegraph, Selasa (12/10/2010).

"Saya absen cukup lama. Tapi, bisa kembali dan menyandang ban kapten sungguh fantastis," lanjut mantan punggawa West Ham United.

Lebih lanjut, Ferdinand tak lupa melontarkan pujian kepada Gerrard, yang telah menampilkan performa terbaik bersama skuad Union Jack.

"Stevie telah melakukan pekerjaan fantastis, terutama dengan kemenangan yang diraih tim dalam babak kualifikasi (Euro)," pungkasnya.

Ferdinand unhappy with England penalty appeals ignored
13.10.10 | tribalfootball.com

Rio Ferdinand says England had two definite penalty shouts for last night's 0-0 draw with Montenegro.

Manchester United defender Ferdinand insisted ref Manuel Grafe should have awarded his side two second-half penalties, one when Ashley Young went down in the box and the other when the ball appeared to hit the arm of visiting defender Milan Jovanovic.

Describing both incidents as "definite penalties", the England captain said: "It was just disappointing really.

"You expect the referees to be able to be up with play and performing at the highest level. Today, we just didn't get that.

"When you're playing at international level, you've got to deal with situations that come about.

"Today we had two really good shouts for a penalty and we didn't get them."

Vice-captain Steven Gerrard, who Ferdinand deposed as skipper, blamed Grafe's assistant, adding: "I saw the handball incident very clearly and the referee was really close.

"I was very surprised that he never saw it but even more surprised that the linesman hasn't seen it because it's on his side and, at this level, you need that little bit of luck, especially when things are difficult and you're finding it hard to break the opposition down."

Adik Rio Ferdinand Terancam Dipenjara

Bola.net - Surat perintah penangkapan untuk pemain Sunderland, Anton Ferdinand, telah dikeluarkan pada hari Selasa setelah bek Black Cats itu tidak hadir di pengadilan yang dijadwalkan untuk mengadili kasus pelanggaran yang dia lakukan saat mengemudi.

Anton, yang merupakan adik dari Rio Ferdinand, diharuskan datang ke Newcastle Magistrates Court di mana dia diperkirakan akan mendapatkan hukuman larangan mengemudi.

Seorang juru bicara polisi Northumbria mengkonfirmasi kalau surat perintah tanpa jaminan telah diterbitkan untuk menangkap bek berusia 25 tahun itu setelah ketidak-munculannya itu.

"Belum ada penangkapan sampai sekarang. Tapi surat perintah sudah dikeluarkan dan kami akan memperhatikan hal itu," kata juru bicara itu.

Ferdinand didakwa bersalah setelah terpergok menggunakan telepon selular saat mengemudi mobil Range Rover miliknya pada bulan Juli lalu. (afp/cax)

Vidic: Ferdinand Seperti Anak Baru

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Bek Manchester United, Nemanja Vidic, mengaku bahagia melihat Rio Ferdinad bisa kembali membela timnya. Ia menilai Ferdinand seperti pemain baru yang memiliki semangat besar meskipun sebelumnya mengalami cedera panjang.

Ferdinand mengalami cedera lutut sebelum Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan. Akibatnya, ia tidak bisa tampil di Piala Dunia karena harus beristirahat cukup lama. Kini, Ferdinand sudah mulai kembali tampil membela "Setan Merah". Debutnya musim ini ditandai ketika tampil melawan Valencia (29/9/2010).

Vidic mengaku bahagia Ferdinand sudah bisa membela "Setan Merah". Bahkan, bek asal Serbia itu menilai, kemampuan Ferdinand tak berkurang sedikit pun meskipun baru mengalami cedera cukup panjang.

"Rio sudah tampil ketika melawan Valencia dan Sunderland. Ia juga terlihat fit ketika tampil membela Inggris melawan Montenegro," jelas Vidic.

"Aku senang dia fit dan aku berharap dia tidak mendapatkan banyak cedera lagi. Sebab, beberapa tahun terakhir, ia mengalami begitu banyak masalah. Semoga dia tetap fit pada tahun ini. Jika itu benar, maka kami seperti mendapatkan pemain besar," lanjutnya.

Ferdinand - defeats linger longest in memory
MEN - October 18, 2010



Rio Ferdinand thinks more about defeats than he has ever done about his triumphs with Manchester United.

The £29.1million defender made his claim in an MUTV documentary: Ryan and Rio: Carrington Revealed - to be screened on Thursday evening in which they show Countdown presenter, and keen United fan, Rachel Riley around the plush state-of-the-art training complex.

Ferdinand never made any secret of his desperation to win trophies when he arrived from Leeds in what was then a British record transfer in 2002.

But having amassed four Premier League titles and a European Cup in an expanding collection, the 31-year-old confirms they are not the days he remembers most.

"Moscow was a great experience but I would have to say the best thing I won was my first league title in 2003," he said.

"When I began my career at West Ham, I used to think 'please let me win a medal'. That was it.

"But it is actually the times you lose that stay with you the most.

"Beating Chelsea in Moscow was a great experience but the memories of losing to Barcelona in Rome 12 months later are far more vivid."

Riley is given a guided tour of a training facility created exclusively to Sir Alex Ferguson's requests, including swimming pool, gym, indoor and outdoor pitches, plus high-tech medical equipment.

"Being shown round Carrington by the legends who are Ryan (Giggs) and Rio was a once in a lifetime experience," she said.

"The facilities at Carrington were hugely impressive.

"No expense has been spared in giving the players access to the best of everything, from teams of specialists to the newest and most high-tech equipment available.

"It was really fascinating hear from the players themselves how much goes in behind the scenes to give them that extra edge and meet the unsung heroes working with them each day to make that happen."

At least the programme provides a break from the explosion of interest surrounding Wayne Rooney, following the revelation that he has told United he does not intend to sign a new contract when his current one expires in 2012.

It gives United a dilemma, as Ferguson - whose relationship with Rooney is said to have completely broken down - must decide whether to retain the player in the hope of changing his mind, or sell when the transfer window opens in January to try and maximise the 24-year-old's transfer fee.

Rio Ferdinand sparks Twitter debate with call for level-headed approach to young footballer

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/10/27/article-1324366-0BB94845000005DC-1_468x268.jpg

England captain Rio Ferdinand has used his favourite medium of Twitter to ask for Manchester United’s younger players to be given time to develop.

The United central defender sat in the stand at Old Trafford on Tuesday night as 22-year-old striker Javier Hernandez added to his burgeoning reputation with another winning goal and 20-year-old Portuguese prospect Bebe also marked his first home appearance with a goal.

During and after the game, however, Ferdinand sent out a series of Twitter messages to his 140,000 followers claiming that too many young players are either over-hyped too soon or not given enough time to settle in.

In one message - they are not allowed to be more than 140 characters long - Ferdinand said: ‘Seriously one of the biggest problems in this country is that young players are not allowed 2 develop. We over criticise them or over hype them. Let them grow, give them time. Bebe been here couple months and people can’t wait 2 be negative etc.’

Ferdinand’s comments provoked a deluge of responses, prompting him to embellish his thoughts further.

He added: ‘The kids read and listen 2 the media as well so they hear and see everything ... some kids can’t cope mentally if they hear too much negativity or hype then they fall away. Either too big headed(iv made it so don’t work hard no more) or go in2 a shell through fear of making a mistake and being hammered 4 it.’

Later, Ferdinand added another tweet, saying: ‘And I don’t wanna hear “Oh they get paid so and so, so deal with it” That’s a lame excuse.’

Ferdinand came from a working-class background in London to make the grade through the youth system at West Ham and is known to have close links with youth communities.

Later on Tuesday night, he added: ‘The English culture means we always look for a hero or a villain (fall guy) that’s why the youth prospects can fall away.’

Man Utd defender Ferdinand: Twitter brought me closer to Savage!
08.11.10 | tribalfootball.com

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed Twitter has brought him and Robbie Savage together!

Ferdinand has revealed how he and Robbie Savage have patched up their differences thanks to social networking site Twitter.

“I actually hated him. I hated him as a person, I didn’t like him,” he told Football Focus.

“I didn’t know him. As a football thing. I got sent off in a game. I thought he was acting and he made more of it and I thought I didn’t like him, he’s not my type of guy...and then Twitter brought us together.”

The pair have had heated exchanges in the past, with Savage admitting in his autobiography that he kicked Ferdinand during a half-time bust-up during Blackburn's Carling Cup semi-final at Old Trafford in 2006.

The Man United skipper was then sent off for his challenge on Savage in a Premier League encounter just three weeks later.

Now though the pair can regularly be found tweeting each, with the Derby County player today tweeting: “It's official ! Rio loves me ! I love you too rio xx.

Kala Ferdinand Kecanduan Twitter
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detiksport

Manchester - Rio Ferdinand memang kecewa gagal memperkuat Inggris di Piala Dunia 2010 karena cedera. Namun hikmah di balik itu, Ferdinand bisa semakin "akrab" dengan Twitter yang menghibur selama ia beristirahat.

Nasib kurang baik diterima Ferdinand kala tengah menjalani pemusatan latihan jelang bergulirnya pesta sepakbola di Afrika Selatan. Lututnya mengalami masalah dan alhasil ia divonis tak bisa bermain di Piala Dunia ketiga dalam karirnya.

Alhasil ia pun harus memendam kekecewaan dan hanya menonton rekan-rekannya berlaga melalui layar kaca karena ia sendiri berposisi sebagai kapten tim. Namun demikian Ferdinand ternyata tak sedih-sedih amat karena di tengah kekecewaanya itu, situs jejaring sosial Twitter jadi hiburan tersendiri bagi bek berusia 32 tahun itu.

Diakui Ferdinand, Twitter jadi tempat ia berbagi perasaan serta kekecewaan dengan seluruh fans di dunia. Ini pula yang akhirnya Ferdinand perlahan bisa menghapus kesedihannya itu dan malah melihat segala perkembangan Piala Dunia lalu melalui Twitter.

"Tidak ada yang ingin kulakukan selain memimpin negaraku di Afrika Selatan. Aku jelas kecewa tidak bisa ikut di Piala Dunia karena cedera. Namun aku bisa mengetahui segala perkembangan melalui Twitter," tutur Ferdinand dalam wawancara dengan Absolute Radio yang dikutip ESPN.

"Berkomunikasi dengan para pemain dan fans pun melalui Twitter. Secara jujur kukatakan aku sudah kecanduan Twitter. Ini benar-benar jadi penghubung antara kami (pesepakbola) dengan fans," simpul pemain Manchester United itu.

Akun Twitter Ferdinand, @rioferdy5, kini sudah memilik followers sebanyak 177.880. (mrp / mrp)

Ferdinand Kagumi Foto Adegan Nakal Tevez Pada Dirinya

Bola.net - Rio Ferdinand tertawa terbahak-bahak ketika melihat foto uniknya yang ditampilkan oleh harian The Sun. Bintang Manchester United terfoto saat sedang berduel berebut bola dengan Carlos Tevez saat derby Manchester berlangsung tengah pekan lalu.

Dalam kejadian itu sebenarnya Tevez ingin mencari bola yang berada di bawah Ferdinand.

Rio berkata, "Itu ketika dia melanggar saya. Itu memang terlihat seperti pelanggaran bukan? Itu bagus baginya, tapi tidak bagiku."

Bek itu mengatakan foto itu telah menjadi bahan tertawaan oleh rekan-rekannya di Old Trafford.

"Teman-teman tertawa melihat foto itu," katanya.

Rio menambahkan, "Aku tidak terlalu yakin bagaimana hal itu terjadi. Dia menendang pergelangan kakiku. Aku jatuh dan dia jatuh di atasku."

Rio langsung memposting foto itu di halaman Twitter-nya dengan komentar: "Wow... siapa saja tolong beri alamat dari fotografer yang memfotoku ini."

Beberapa bintang olahraga langsung mengomentari foto itu. Mantan kapten kriket Inggris, Michael Vaughan, memberikan komentar: "Anda biasanya melihat foto seperti itu di acara fauna"

Rio menjawab, "Haha, apa yang sebenarnya dicari Tevez itu? Foto yang bagus!"

"Sepertinya dia mencoba menjadi pemain boneka di malam itu! Foto ini aku anggap sangat klasik, seburuk apapun kelihatannya!" pungkasnya. (sun/cax)

RIO WARNS YOUNG STARS OF DRINK DANGER
Press Association Sport, John Curtis,

http://images.sportinglife.com/10/11/330/Rio-Ferdinand-Nov-2010_2530502.jpg

England skipper Rio Ferdinand admits there is no room in modern football for players "going out on the lash" if they want to do themselves justice at the top level of the game.

Ferdinand's claims come in the aftermath of several high profile players being in the headlines for alleged drinking sprees in recent weeks.

The Manchester United star concedes alcohol was part of the culture associated with the game and players during the early part of his career.

Ferdinand believes the current players do "not have to live like monks" but accepts they have a responsibility to themselves to behave appropriately and sensibly.

He said: "In all ways and shapes, you have to accept responsibility. Nowadays you have a game Saturday, then Tuesday, then Saturday, then Tuesday.

"There's no room in the game to go out on the lash and get smashed like you used to.

"That was part of the culture when I was growing up as a kid.

"The players I looked up to at West Ham, their social lives were a big part of their lives.

"Nowadays, you can't afford to do that. You're playing against teams that are physically in tip-top condition.

"If you're going out there and are not in the same physical condition, you can't do yourself or your team justice.

"There are so many different factors that determine whether you become a top player.

"But going out drinking will definitely be to your detriment and will hold you back from being a top, top player."

Ferdinand added: "Your own personal pride and will to win and be a success, should make you sit and think 'I can't do that on a Saturday night if I've got a game on a Tuesday or Wednesday.'

"If you've got a free week, there's no problem going out, enjoying yourself and letting your hair down.

"You don't have to live like a monk. But you've got to pick and choose your right times.

"It's about managing yourself right. As a young player, sometimes you take certain steps and then learn from them.

"Some people aren't going to be told 'you can't go out'. They want to find out themselves and will make mistakes along the way.

"They have to be strong enough to pick themselves up and carry on."

Ferdinand admits he learnt from his own mistakes in climbing to the top of the footballing ladder by behaving in the right manner.

He said: "You benefit football-wise. It's not just that you want to become a better professional. You become a better player, in simple terms.

"Look at someone like Michael Owen. I've always used him as an example because we came through at the same time, went to the 1998 World Cup, and we had two different outlooks on life.

"I was a social butterfly. He was a real professional who had a good structure around him and knew exactly what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go.

"It took me longer for me to get where I am than it took him.

"Looking back, the Nevilles, people used to laugh at them, saying they were 'so professional' and this and that.

"But they were good professionals at a young age. Look at the length of their careers now."

Ferdinand accepts that drinking is part of the British culture in general and is not just part of the footballing way of life.

He said: "It's society. I went to my old football club (Eltham Town) at the weekend, on Sunday, and the culture is what it is in England.

"You go and play a game and, afterwards, you go to the bar and have a few pints. That is what people do. There's a clubhouse there where people sometimes go after work.

"It's part of the social network. As a footballer, you have to detach yourself from that. It can be hard if you've been brought up like that.

"It's not just football, it's in society. Kids have to make decisions and choices in life.

"Just because you're a young footballer doesn't mean you're more mature. You've got to make yourself more mature. It doesn't just happen."

Rio Ferdinand comes of age on and off the pitch

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01783/rio-ferdinand_1783565b.jpg

Few footballers’ minds are quite as well-documented as Rio Ferdinand’s. From the student protests — “keep it civil” — to the managerial maelstrom which has engulfed Newcastle this week — “Is it April Fools?” — the Manchester United defender, thanks to his predilection for the social networking site Twitter, has emerged as Britain’s unlikeliest cultural commentator.

“I comment on 99 per cent of the things that come out,” he says. It is no exaggeration. In the last week alone, along with unrest at the palaces of Westminster and St James’s Park, he has made his views clear on subjects as diverse as snoods — “You won’t see a Man Utd player wearing one” — and Piers Morgan’s interviewing technique: “Does he bore his guests to tears?”.

Given that his peers spend much of their lives seeking ways to enhance the secrecy in which their existences are shrouded, his choice of hobby is a curious one. But then perhaps Ferdinand is something of a curious professional. True, he has all the accoutrements of the modern star — the business interests, the celebrity friends — and he is the England captain, a quasi-mythical position. To him, though, Twitter is a welcome antidote to everything he might be assumed to be.

“A few people that work in the company who look after me said it would be good to get on there,” he explains. “There is a perception of players, an image that people see through the papers, and I thought Twitter might be the best way to shape it more to reality.

“That is the feedback I have had. A lot of people have said they didn’t really like me before but speaking to me on there they can see I am quite normal.” Little wonder: many of Ferdinand’s early tweets, short messages of no more than 140 characters dispatched to his 260,000 followers, consisted largely of complaints about the standards of toilets on Virgin trains.

“When you say you are on the way to London on a train,” he says. “People are like: ‘You go on trains?’” Understandable, surely, given his £120,000-a-week wages? “What do you think I go on, a helicopter? People ask if you are chauffeur driven, or assume you fly, but I am a normal person.

“People think you don’t eat with knives and forks, as though there is someone to feed you.

“It makes people understand we are normal human beings who love football.

“Ok, it’s what we do for a living, but 99 per cent of us would be doing it anyway.” Justified or not, that is not always the image Ferdinand has cut. His age and his profile dictate that he has always been synonymous with that generation of players who earned so much, so young. It would be unfair, though, to deny him the capacity of change.

If his tweets document how he has matured as a person, there can be no question he is a different player now, too.

There are, perhaps, three distinct stages to Ferdinand’s career. The first, spent with West Ham and Leeds, brimming with swagger and the arrogance of youth. The second, with United, as the world’s most expensive defender, and now the third, the elder statesman, erstwhile captain of the nation’s biggest side and, in the wake of the John Terry affair, leader of his country.

This is a different Ferdinand to that which went before. “When I was young,” he admits, “when I came off the pitch as a centre back I would tell my mates about a little piece of skill I had done. Then they would ask what the score was and I would say we lost 3-1.

“Now I am more of a defender first. I get more pleasure from coming out of a game with a clean sheet than anything else. My mindset has totally changed.” His body, too. So persistent were the injury problems which have plagued him for much of the last two years that United, last Christmas, afforded him three months off in which to recuperate and have designed a fitness programme, based around sports-specific yoga, to improve his chances of playing regularly in the twilight of his career.

Until, on Wednesday night, he sustained the hamstring injury which threatens his place for tomorrow’s visit of Arsenal, Ferdinand was starting to feel like his old self again.

He is desperate to be back for that game, not simply for its present significance but its past meaning. “The 2005 FA Cup final, when we battered them but lost on penalties, was one of the worst moments of my career,” he says. “But then we have had some very good times against them. They have had us when we would have beaten anyone in the world, like in the 2008 Champions League semi-final.

“There used to be a genuine rivalry bordering on dislike between us. You saw that when we had a couple of fracas in the tunnel. Now it is more respect.”

The suspicion that such mutual admiration is rooted more in former glories than current abilities lingers, though. Arsenal have lost at home to both West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle, yet are in the thick of the title race. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, unbeaten in the Premier League for six months, have been below par for much of the campaign.

That failure to convince, Ferdinand admits, could in part be attributed to the fact that he is not the only one changing. United are too. “This is my second transitional period in eight years,” he says. “Hopefully it will not take as long as last time. I do not see it as a blip in our quest to win trophies.

“It does not feel the same as last time [between 2005 and 2008]. That was a real changing of the guard — older players who had been integral to the success of the club, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, leaving.

We have not had that this time. We have just added younger players for the benefit of the team.”

At 32, Ferdinand would be forgiven for questioning where that leaves his future. For all that he has changed, though, he is yet to succumb to self-doubt. “I want to finish my career at United,” he says. “I have two years on my contract, and if the manager sees that I am fit enough, a four year deal at that age would be great.” Does he want those words displayed prominently, to offer Ferguson a hint? “No,” he replies. “I’ll tweet it.”

Ferdinand eyes new United deal
December 12, 2010 By ESPNsoccernet staff

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand wants to sign a new contract that will enable him to end his career at Old Trafford.


Ferdinand, who has struggled with a series of injuries over the last few seasons, has two years to run on his current deal but hopes to persuade manager Sir Alex Ferguson he deserves a longer stay at United.

"I want to finish my career at United," the 32-year-old told the Sunday Telegraph. "I have two years on my contract, and if the manager sees that I am fit enough, a four-year deal at that age would be great."

United signed former West Ham defender Ferdinand from Leeds United for £30 million in 2002 - which was a new world record fee for a defender - and has won four Premier League titles with the Red Devils.

The centre-back limped off during United's final Champions League group match against Valencia on Tuesday with a hamstring injury but hopes to be fit for Monday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Ferdinand never doubted United
(PA) Tuesday 14 December 2010

Rio Ferdinand insists Manchester United's rapid rise up the Premier League has not taken him by surprise.

It is just a calendar month since United were spinning towards a damaging defeat at Aston Villa at the end of a week that had started with a narrow escape against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a tame derby draw with Manchester City.

United appeared incapable of sustaining a title challenge and major questions were being asked of the quality in Sir Alex Ferguson's squad. The turnaround in fortunes since then has been staggering. In the final ten minutes, goals from Federico Macheda and Nemanja Vidic secured a point even Ferguson admitted his side did not deserve at Villa Park.

That result has been followed by three successive wins, including a seven-goal mauling of Blackburn Rovers and last night's deserved success over Arsenal, and as their rivals have struggled, now United find themselves two points clear and also have a match in hand thanks to that postponed trip to Blackpool earlier this month.

Most Red Devils supporters are scratching their heads at exactly how it has happened. But Ferdinand insists he never lost faith. "I do believe it," he said.

"When I look around the changing room I see a fantastic bunch of players. I never doubt them or what they are capable of. If we concentrate and are focused on doing the things we are asked, we are difficult to play against."

In a season when the input of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville has reduced markedly, Ferguson's present side are proving they retain the same obdurate traits. Whilst at Villa they required fortitude and a refusal to accept defeat, last night was more about defensive discipline.

The balance of play may have favoured Arsenal but clear cut chances mostly fell United's way. Indeed, Arsenal's only clear sight of goal came when Edwin van der Sar parried Samir Nasri's shot into the path of Marouane Chamakh, only for captain Nemanja Vidic to make an excellent block.

"I have always maintained it is not just about defending as a back four and a goalkeeper," said Ferdinand, who scooped the man-of-the-match prize. "We score together and we concede together. If we are defending right from the front we are a hard team to play against.

"The game plan was get in their faces and put pressure on them. We couldn't afford to give a team like Arsenal time. If you do that they will hurt you because they have quality players all over the park. I am glad to say we didn't."

This was a very big result for us. It is not a defining result but it is the kind of result you are looking for against one of the teams who are also at the top of the table. - Rio Ferdinand on beating Arsenal

Victory extended United's unbeaten start to 16 matches, a new club record. More importantly, they can approach Sunday's trip to Chelsea relieved of pressure, knowing it would not be a disaster if they found themselves held to what would be an eighth draw of the campaign.

Ferguson even had the satisfaction of leaving Dimitar Berbatov on the bench for the entire game, the first United had played in the league since he scored five against Rovers. It is decisions such as that which maybe prove United have more strength in depth than most observers believe, and could yet propel them towards a coveted 19th championship.

Not that Ferdinand is allowing himself to look too far ahead, or read too much into statistics. "It is not about trying to go through the season unbeaten," said the England captain. "It is about what you finish up with at the end of the year.

Rio Ferdinand is not surprised by the turnaround in Manchester United's fortunes this season.

United have displayed some indifferent form this season and looked far from a title-winning team earlier in the campaign as they lagged behind the leaders.

But over the last month they have grabbed a valuable draw against Aston Villa from the brink of defeat, and also drew against rivals Manchester City.

Three consecutive wins - including the 7-1 battering of Blackburn - and the 1-0 win over Arsenal on Monday night; have now put them top the league with a game in hand.

Their rapid rise to league leaders has dumbfounded some of their fans, but Ferdinand insists he never lost hope.

"I do believe it," said the England captain.

"When I look around the changing room I see a fantastic bunch of players. I never doubt them or what they are capable of.

Concentrate

"If we concentrate and are focused on doing things we are asked, we are difficult to play against."

United have displayed a dogmatic streak this term, most notably against Villa, when they came from two goals down.

Defensively they seem have improved over recent weeks too, which was highlighted by the fact they reduced Arsenal to just one clear-cut chance at Old Trafford on Monday night.

"I have always maintained it is not just about defending as a back four and a goalkeeper," added Ferdinand.

"We score together and we concede together. If we are defending right from the front we are a hard team to play against.

"The game plan was getting in their faces and put pressure on them. We couldn't afford to give a team like Arsenal time.

Quality
"If you do that they will hurt you because they have quality players all over the park. I am glad to say we didn't."

United are now unbeaten in 16 games this term and boast an unblemished league record so far.

There has been talk of them replicating Arsenal's "Invincibles" but Ferdinand is refusing to think of such records.

"It is not about trying to go through the season unbeaten," said the England skipper.

"It is about where you finish at the end of the year. This was a very big result for us.

"It is not a defining result but it is the kind of result you are looking for against one of the teams who are also at the top of the table.

"Last year we probably didn't do as well against the big teams as we should have. This was a good way to start."

Rio apologises for Sagna challenge
ESPNsoccernet - December 15, 2010



Rio Ferdinand has apologised to Bacary Sagna following Manchester United's 1-0 victory over Arsenal, after he left the Frenchman with stud marks across his abdomen.

United were relatively comfortable in Monday's Old Trafford encounter, only suffering one major scare when Edwin van der Sar parried Samir Nasri's second-half effort to Marouane Chamakh. Nemanja Vidic eventually extinguished the danger as he combined with Ferdinand to marshal the United defence to a deserved clean sheet.

However, the England captain was in danger of failing to stay on the pitch during the second half of the top-of-the-table showdown, following a collision with Arsenal defender Sagna.

The incident saw Ferdinand catch Sagna with his studs when leaping for a header. Arsenal felt the United man's challenge had been malicious, with Cesc Fabregas particularly vocal, but Ferdinand protested his innocence, claiming it was an unfortunate collision.

Ferdinand has now issued an apology to Sagna, although he remains adamant there was no ulterior motive to his challenge.

"I never meant to kick Sagna," Ferdinand wrote on his Twitter page. "I went for the ball. Accidents do happen. Sorry for that."

Meanwhile, Vidic has predicted one of the top four will drop out of the title race by January because they will not be able to match Manchester United's pace.

Three points are all that currently separate the top four teams in the table, but that gap could extend to six if United beat Chelsea this weekend. The Red Devils have been inconsistent in the early part of the season, drawing seven league games, but Vidic claims United are about to hit their stride with fixtures against Sunderland, Birmingham, West Brom and Stoke on the horizon.

"I think this is the time in the season when the table is going to change quite a bit," Vidic said in the Daily Star. "We saw last season how competitive the Premier League is, and it's even more so this year. Every team has raised their game and the quality has improved.

"Things have been very tight up to now, but I think that we'll see two or three teams stepping it up and stretching ahead. That's what has happened over the last few years. I think by the middle of January we'll have much more of an idea as to who is going to be chasing for the title."

Rio - United staying grounded
Stopper insists Red Devils are not getting carried away

http://img.skysports.com/10/10/218x298/Rio-Ferdinand-Manchester-United_2520162.jpg

Rio Ferdinand is adamant there has been 'no singing and dancing' at Manchester United, even though they are currently top of the Premier League.

Monday's victory over Arsenal lifted Sir Alex Ferguson's side above the Gunners and Manchester City in the table, still with a game in hand.

The Red Devils are now obvious favourites to claim a record 19th league championship, and victory at Chelsea on Sunday would only strengthen that prediction.

But defender Ferdinand insists there is no sense of elation amongst him and his team-mates, just a steely fixation on reclaiming the trophy.

"We are not singing and dancing about being top," said Ferdinand. "We will sing and dance in May if we are still top.

"I would rather be there then. We just want to win that league."

United's defensive performances have improved markedly this term in comparison to this time last year, when they suffered an injury crisis in their backline.

Ferdinand and long-time partner Nemanja Vidic completed their 10th league game together against Arsenal and it would be a major shock if Ferguson split them up for the Chelsea trip.

"I don't know if it is just down to me and him being together," Ferdinand said of United's improvement. "The whole thing is not as fragmented this season.

"I am comfortable with Vida. We have played together for a few years. We know each other's games inside out and that feeds through to the other players."

The Red Devils have failed to win at Stamford Bridge since 2002, but should be relishing Sunday's contest given the Blues' recent slump in form.

However, Ferdinand has been around too long to believe form will have any bearing on the high-profile encounter.

"Top-of-the-table clashes are about what happens on the day," he said. "The type of form you are in doesn't matter.

"There are enough players on the pitch to win the game. Whoever plays best on the day or gets that little bit of luck will come out winners."

The stopper insists Sunday's result will not dictate how United's campaign plays out, adding: "It can all change so quickly if you have a bad run. It would be a good boost for us if we could win but it won't define our season."

MU Terus Dikritik, Ferdinand Bingung

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Bek Manchester United (MU), Rio Ferdinand, bingung kenapa timnya terus dikritik akhir-akhir ini. Menurut Ferdinand, MU telah membuktikan kalau mereka adalah klub bagus. Namun, kenapa "Setan Merah" selalu dikritik?

Musim ini MU menjalani hasil fantastis. Ferdinand dan kawan-kawan tak terkalahkan dalam 16 pertandingan Premier League. "The Red Devils" juga masih memiliki satu pertandingan sisa dibanding rival-rivalnya.

Di Liga Champions, MU juga menorehkan prestasi impresif. Tim besutan Sir Alex Ferguson itu lolos ke babak 16 besar sebagai juara grup dan hanya kebobolan satu gol. Akan tetapi, hal ini tak menghentikan kritikan pedas kepada kubu Old Trafford.

Ferdinand pun mempertanyakan apakah kritikan yang muncul belakangan ini memang berasal dari orang-orang yang ingin MU gagal.

"Aku tidak mengerti hal ini, tapi kenyataannya memang seperti itu. Dalam empat musim terakhir, kami telah memenangkan tiga gelar. Tapi, di setiap kesempatan, kami memulai musim tidak sebagai favorit. Hal ini tentu memberikan Anda suatu gambaran. Orang-orang berpikir kalau kami memang benar-benar tidak bagus atau mereka memang tak ingin kami menjadi tim yang bagus," ujar Ferdinand.

Meski kesal, Ferdinand mengaku tak terlalu memusingkan hal ini. "Yang paling penting adalah kami tahu apa yang mampu kami lakukan," ungkapnya. (PA)

Rio Ferdinand’s Brilliant Disciplinary Record
JANUARY 2, 2011 48 COMMENTS - RoM

Rio Ferdinand’s last yellow card, for both club or country, came on March 14th 2009, during our 4-1 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford for a foul on Dirk Kuyt.
That’s 53 appearances and 4515 minutes of football with a yellow card.
Whilst some of this might be down to his status as England captain (don’t forget he escaped a booking for giving away this foul on Jerome Thomas a denying a goalscoring opportunity) we shouldn’t discount Rio’s excellent positioning which means he isn’t required to make the last ditch tackles that Jamie Carragher and John Terry are hailed for.

My career, Rio Ferdinand

Posted on Thursday, 13th January 2011 by Rob Morris

7 November, 1978: Rio Ferdinand is born in Peckham, London. Playing for numerous youth teams in the local area, Rio transforms from an attacking-midfielder into a centre-half.

5 May, 1996: Despite interest from many London clubs, Ferdinand decides to join West Ham United’s youth academy in 1994 and two years later makes his competitive debut against Sheffield Wednesday in a 1-1 draw.

November, 2000: Rio joins Leeds United for a British transfer record of £18m, becoming the world’s most expensive defender in the process.

July, 2002: After a rollecoaster ride at Elland Road, Ferdinand signs for Manchester United for a total fee of £29.1m.

19 December, 2003: The Red Devils centre-half fails to take a drugs test and is consequently fined £50,000 and banned from club and international football for eight months.

13 May, 2007: Rio helps United to the Premier League title, picking up his second winners medal.

21 May, 2008: Rio captains the Red Devils to a dramatic Champions League final victory over Chelsea in Moscow.

26 May, 2009: Unfortunately, United are unable to retain the Champions League trophy. A rampant Barcelona side run away 2-0 winners.

4 June, 2010: Rio is set to captain England during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, however, a knee ligament injury in the first training session rules him out for the whole tournament. England later bow out to Germany without their talismanic defender.

Report by Ben Hibbs

Reds wait on Rio

Sir Alex Ferguson will have one or two injury concerns ahead of Tuesday's trip to take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

Rio Ferdinand missed Saturday's 5-0 white-wash against Birmngham City with a groin injury, and he may have to sit out for the game, which is United's game in hand over the rest of the title-chasing pack.

"We'll see how Rio is on Monday morning," Sir Alex told MUTV. "We won't make the decision [about Tuesday] until we see him on Monday."

Michael Carrick was forced off midway through the first half at Old Trafford after a studs-up tackle from Alexander Hleb, and he is likely to be replaced on Tuesday by Darren Fletcher, who was rested against Birmingham.

"Michael Carrick's got a sore one," said the boss. "And it was right on the same spot on his ankle where Steven Gerrard caught him, so unfortunately he couldn't last the game."

Patrice Evra and Ryan Giggs were also substituted in the game - Evra at half-time and Giggs after an hour - but both withdrawals were to rest the players with another match in three days' time.

Ferdinand Puji Langkah Villa Gaet Bent


Hanya Rooney dan Drogba yang bisa mengungguli catatan gol Bent.


Pemain bertahan Manchester United Rio Ferdnand memuji langkah Aston Villa yang menggaet penyerang Darrent Bent dari Sundeland.

Tidak mudah bagi Aston Villa mendatangkan Bent, mereka harus merogoh kocek dalam-dalam hingga 24 juta poundsterling, tetapi menurut Ferdinand, Villa akan menuai hasil positif.

"Uang besar terlibat dalam transfer Bent, tetapi dia mencetak banyak gol secara konsisten beberapa tahun kebelakang," kata Ferdinand melalui akun twitter.

"Hanya Rooney dan Drogba yang bisa mengungguli catatan gol Bent. Dalam lima tahun terakhir, Bent adalah pencetak gol urutan ketiga di Liga Primer."

Ferdinand Bela Asisten Wasit Perempuan


Manchester - Rio Ferdinand menunjukkan dukungannya buat asisten wasit perempuan Sian Massey. Dia mengecam sikap duo komentator tv yang menghina Massey saat bertugas di laga Wolverhampton kontra Liverpool.

Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya, Massey dihina oleh dua komentator tv Sky Andy Gray dan Richard Keys. Mereka mempertanyakan kapabilitas Massey, terutama dalam memahami aturan off-side beberapa saat sebelum siaran.

Meskipun penghinaan itu tidak dapat didengar oleh penonton, namun pihak Sky lantas meminta maaf bahkan sebelum Gray dan Richards melakukannya di publik.

Atas sikap tidak pantas itu, Gray dan Richards mendapat sanksi dari Sky. Keduanya tidak akan mengisi siaran di satu pertandingan.

Ferdinand turut angkat bicara soal isu ini. Lewat akun Twitter-nya @rioferdy5, bek Manchester United itu mengecam sikap dua komentator itu dan menyebut mereka berpikiran kuno.

"Aku mendukung para wanita menjadi wasit di sepakbola, diskriminasi seharusnya tidak terjadi dalam permainan kami sama sekali ... itu pemikiran kuno jika Anda berpikir sebaliknya," kritik Ferdinand dikutip Mirror.

"Apa ada yang melihat keputusan yang dibuat hakim garis wanita itu ... itu adalah keputusan yang sangat tepat. Nilai mereka seperti pria dalam kemampuannya membuat keputusan,"sambungnya sembari memuji kinerja Massey.

Ferdinand: Pasar Transfer Inggris Sudah Gila

Manchester - Rencana Liverpool untuk mendatangkan Andy Carroll mendapatkan komentar dari Rio Ferdinand. Bagi bek Manchester united itu, harga Carroll menunjukkan pasar transfer Inggris sudah gila.

Caroll dikabarkan sudah diizinkan Newcastle United untuk pergi ke Anfield. Liverpool mengklaim bahwa mereka kini tinggal melakukan pembicaraan kontrak dengan si pemain dan melakukan tes medis.

Berapa harga Carroll? Dari kabar yang beredar, Newcastle menerima pinangan sebesar 35 juta poundsterling dari Liverpool. Harga tersebut satu juta pounds lebih mahal dari transfer David Villa ke Barcelona.

Villa hijrah ke Camp Nou sebelum Piala Dunia 2010. Menurut Ferdinand, ia pantas dihargai mahal karena merupakan bagian dari sukses Spanyol dan punya pengalaman bermain di Eropa.

"David Villa berharga 34 juta pounds, tweeps... Bagian penting dari tim Spanyol yang sukses dan bermain reguler di Liga Champions... Pasar Inggris Raya sudah gila sekarang!" komentar Ferdinand di akun Twitter-nya.

Belakangan pasar transfer Inggris juga dikejutkan dengan kepindahan Darren Bent ke Aston Villa. Bent dihargai Villa sebesar 18 juta pounds dan dikabarkan dari klausul kontraknya, harganya bisa menanjak hingga 24 juta pounds.

Cedera Ferdinand Diratapi Ferguson

Pengalaman Rio dibutuhkan tim.

Bos Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson mengakui timnya terpukul karena Rio Ferdinand mengalami cedera sat melakukan pemanasan sebelum laga tandang melawan Wolves yang berakhir 2-1 untuk kemenangan tuan rumah.

Ferdinand diprediksi harus absen hingga dua pekan karena bermasalah dengan betisnya.

"Kami terpukul. Pengalaman Rio sangat dibutuhkan di laga krusial seperti ini," kata Ferguson.

"Normalnya kami menurunkan Chris Smalling, tetapi kami harus menyimpannya di bangku cadangan karena Jonny [Evans] sudah melakukan pemanasan terlebih dahulu."

Ferdinand Absen Dua Pekan

Wolverhampton - Tak hanya kekalahan yang harus dibawa pulang Manchester United dari lawatannya ke Mollineux Stadium. 'Setan Merah' pun harus kehilangan Rio Ferdinand akibat cedera.

Ferdinand yang awalnya hendak dipasang sebagai starter oleh Sir Alex Ferguson mengalami masalah pada betisnya saat sedang melakukan pemanasan.

Alhasil tempat Ferdinand pun diberikan pada Johny Evans dan lini belakang MU pun jadi limbung yang berakibat kekalahan pertama mereka musim ini dengan skor 1-2 dari Wolverhampton, Minggu (6/2/2011) dinihari WIB.

Usai pertandingan Fergie pun membeberkan jika bek tengah andalannya itu harus menepi sekitar 14 hari untuk memulihkan kondisi betisnya.

Dengan begini Ferdinand akan melewatkan partai persahabatan Inggris kontra Denmark pertengahan pekan nanti dan derby Manchester kontra City pekan depan.

"Betisnya tertarik (mengalami masalah) saat sedang melakukan pemanasan. Dan aku pikir ia akan absen sekitar dua minggu," tutur Fergie kepada Sky Sports.

Ferdinand Tak Mau seperti Beckham

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Bek Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, mengatakan bahwa dia berminat menjadi salah satu staf di manajemen klub tersebut suatu saat nanti. Ia tak mau meniru David Beckham yang bermain di luar negeri.

Namun, kini dia lebih memilih fokus ke keadaan dirinya saat ini dan belum mau terlalu memikirkan kesempatan itu.

"Jika kesempatan itu datang, maka aku jelas akan memikirkannya. Namun saat ini aku masih memiliki beberapa tahun sebelum merenungkannya," kata Ferdinand kepada sabotagetimes.com.

Ferdinand juga mengatakan bahwa dia enggan mengikuti jejak David Beckham yang memilih bermain di luar negeri. Sebab, dia tak mau mengalami kemunduran dalam kariernya.

"Aku tak mau bermain di luar negeri. Inilah aku. Aku berada di Manchester United dan aku senang berada di sini. Kenapa aku harus melangkah ke belakang?" ujarnya.

Ketika ditanya siapa yang pantas menjadi asistennya apabila dia menjadi manajer, Ferdinand menjawab, "Gary Neville, dia sempurna untuk itu."

Ferdinand Puji Fowler, tetapi Favoritkan Ronaldo

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Defender Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, memuji mantan penyerang Liverpool, Robbie Fowler, yang menurutnya paling alamiah dalam melakukan tugas seorang striker. Namun, pemain favoritnya adalah Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Robbie Fowler, Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer), Ruud (van Nistelrooy), dan Ian Wright adalah yang terbaik. Aku akan mengatakan Robbie jelas pemain yang paling natural. Dia bisa mencetak gol dari mana saja, di dalam kotak penalti, jarak jauh, atau dengan kepala," puji Ferdinand.

Kini Fowler bermain di liga Australia bersama Perth Glory. Dalam kariernya, pemain berusia 35 tahun ini sudah mencetak 248 gol dari 553 pertandingan. Namun, kariernya sempat mentok akibat cedera.

"Sungguh mengecewakan dia mendapat banyak cedera karena dia striker yang hebat dan pemain yang hebat. Dia datang dari Leeds dan langsung menjadi kuat. Sangat menyenangkan berada di sekitarnya ketika kami membela Inggris," ujar Ferdinand.

Lalu, siapa pemain terbaik pilihan Ferdinand? Jawabannya adalah striker Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo. Ferdinand mengakui dirinya senang bisa bermain bersama Ronaldo, meski hanya beberapa musim.

"Ronaldo adalah favorit saya saat ini. Jika dia terbebas dari cedera, maka saya pikir dia akan berada di puncak dan menjadi salah satu yang terbaik sepanjang masa," ucapnya. (ESPN)

Rio Ferdinand can't be guaranteed place when fit, insists Fabio Capello

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/02/12/article-0-0C1954E2000005DC-314_468x286.jpg

Fabio Capello has warned crocked England captain Rio Ferdinand he could struggle to win back his international place.

The England boss revealed he has had frank discussions with Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson about the defender who is sidelined with a calf problem.

The 32-year-old centre-half has played in barely half of United's games this season - an improvement on the 21 out of 56 last term - and has managed just four England games in 16 months.

'It worries me that Rio has missed so many England matches through injury,' said Capello.

'I spoke with Sir Alex about him and he was back in the United team and for five games played very well. Now, after the injury, we have to wait until another time for him to play more.'

Michael Dawson impressed in the 2-1 win against Denmark and Capello also spoke highly of Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka.

Ferdinand, who has been criticised in the past for having a diverse range of off-field activities, denies such a busy lifestyle affects his game, but Capello refused to say his captain would automatically return when he is fit again.

'I don't know,' said the Italian, despite Ferguson's assertion that the latest injury is not a major setback.

'I'm happy now. Sometimes in the past we didn't have players. I'm upset for Rio but I'm happy about the performance of the other players. They are the future.'

Ferdinand Berharap Akhiri Karir di Old Trafford
Achmad Firdaus - Okezone

MANCHESTER - Rio Ferdinand masih menunda pembicaraan kontrak baru dengan Manchester United. Keputusan tersebut diambil karena Ferdinand ingin terlebih dulu mengetahui dengan pasti durasi kontrak baru yang akan diberikan manajemen klub.

Sebagaimana dilaporkan The News of the World, Senin (14/2/2011), bek tengah andalan United ini memang masih memiliki kontrak dua musim ke depan bersama Setan Merah. Namun, dia berharap mendapat perpanjangan kontrak hingga dirinya pensiun nanti.

Sebelumnya, rumor yang berhembus di Manchester, pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson dikabarkan hanya menawarkan perpanjangan kontrak selama satu tahun atau hingga 2014. Namun, Ferdinand menolak tawaran tersebut. Dia berharap mendapat kontrak baru berdurasi dua tahun, atau hingga usianya 36 tahun -waktu yang tepat baginya untuk pensiun-.

Hasilnya, hingga kini negosiasi kontrak baru mantan bintang Leeds United ini masih mandek. Faktor usia dan kondisi kebugaran Ferdinand selama beberapa tahun terakhir menjadi pertimbangan utama manajemen klub hanya menawarkan kontrak selama satu tahun.

Ya, sepanjang dua musim terakhir, Ferdinand memang mengalami penurunan performa. Problematika cedera menjadi kendala utamanya menampilkan performa terbaik. Sepanjang musim lalu, kapten timnas Inggris ini hanya tampil sebanyak 13 laga.

Namun, di musim ini statistik Ferdinand sudah lebih baik. Bek termahal United ini sudah tampil sebanyak 15 laga, meski saat ini dirinya juga tengah dibekap bahu yang membuatnya absen saat United mengalahkan rival sekotanya Manchester City 2-1 di derby Manchester, akhir pekan kemarin. (acf)

Ferdinand Puji Wilshere Di Twitter, Tapi Jagokan Barca

Bola.net - Big match babak 16 besar antara Arsenal dan Barcelona semalam (16/02) juga tak luput dari perhatian bek Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand. Kapten tim nasional Inggris ini memuji permainan mengesankan yang diperagakan juniornya di The Three Lions, Jack Wilshere.

Gelandang Arsenal itu semalam memang tampil memukau. Statistik mencatat, hampir 91% operan yang ia berikan tepat mengarah pada rekannya. Selain itu, kerja samanya di lini tengah bersama Cesc Fabregas menghasilkan 87 operan yang tepat sasaran.

"@jack_wilshere masih 19 tahun, pesepak bola sejati, penampilan puncak... memainkan bola seperti veteran," tulis Ferdi dalam akun Twitter pribadinya.

Meski sempat unggul, Barca akhirnya kalah 2-1 dalam laga di Fly Emirates itu. Walau demikian Ferdinand masih menjagokan tim Catalan itu akan bisa lolos ke babak berikutnya. "Barca masih favorit untuk lolos, meski mereka tidak meraih hasil baik di Inggris dan laga tandang mereka di babak gugur ini," tambahnya. (twt/fjr)

Ferdinand Laporkan Penguntitnya ke Polisi

Bola.net - Rio Ferdinand telah meminta bantuan polisi untuk menghentikan penguntitnya. Kapten Inggris itu mengklaim seorang wanita telah menganggunya dengan mengetuk pintu rumahnya larut malam untuk meminta berbicara dengannya.

Bek Manchester United itu telah mengatakan kalau si penguntit pergi ke gereja yang sama dengan ibunya, Janice dan bahkan meminta ibunya untuk menyampaikan pesannya ke Ferdinand.

Susanne Ibru yang berusia 38 telah dikenai tuduhan telah mengganggu Ferdinand, tapi dia membantah telah melakukan kesalahan dan bersikeras kalau dia tidak bersalah.

Ibru tinggal di kawasan di mana Rio dibesarkan di Peckham, London Tenggara dan dikatakan telah melakukan perjalanan jauh untuk mencoba berbicara dengan bintang itu.

Rio dan istrinya, Rebecca, tinggal bersama anak-anak mereka: Lorenz (4 tahun) dan Tate (2 tahun), di sebuah rumah seharga 4 juta pounds di Alderley Edge, Cheshire.

Kemarin seorang sumber mengatakan, "Dia dituduh telah muncul di rumah Ferdinad sepanjang hari."

"Dikatakan juga kalau dia telah menulis banyak surat kepadanya. Semua ini jadi agak menakutkan bagi Rio dan keluarganya dan akhirnya mereka memutuskan kalau mereka tidak akan mengambil resiko dan langsung memanggil polisi."

Ibru dijadwalkan akan mulai disidang kemarin sebelum akhirnya ditunda sampai bulan depan kondisi kesehatan Ibru yang buruk. (sun/cax)

Ferdinand Kehilangan Neville

Bek Manchester United itu memberikan pujian atas apa yang sudah ditunjukkan Gary Neville.


Tak sedikit kontroversi yang mewarnai kehidupan Gary Neville. Kecaman pun juga datang untuknya di beberapa kesempatan.

Namun tak sedikit pula torehan prestasi yang dicatatnya bersama Manchester United sebelum memutuskan pensiun bulan lalu. Rio Ferdinand bahkan kagum dengan apa yang sudah dicatatkan bekas bek kanan Inggris dan United itu.

"Gary luar biasa. Dia memiliki determinasi dan keinginan dan bisa memberikan umpan silang yang fantastis," sanjung Ferdinand dikutip Sky Sports.

"Saya ingat pertama kali bergabung dengan skuad Inggris, Gary melakukan pemanasan sendiri sementara pelatih berbicara dengan pemain sebelum latihan."

"Sikap seperti itu membuatnya memiliki reputasi tersendiri sebagai seseorang yang selalu serius. Tapi dia juga orang yang senang bercanda dan kami akan kehilangan dirinya di ruang ganti," pungkas Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand will miss most of Manchester United's away-day 'acid test', says Sir Alex Ferguson
Rio Ferdinand is expected to miss two-thirds of a crucial eight-day period described by Sir Alex Ferguson as the 'acid test’ of Manchester United’s title credentials.The Premier League leaders tackle the first of three away fixtures in just over a week at Wigan on Saturday.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01835/rio-ferdinand_1835638c.jpg

United, sitting a point clear of Arsenal having played one game less, travel to Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool in the coming days having won just three league outings away from Old Trafford all season.

It is a meagre return which has prevented United from opening up a commanding lead and if they continue to struggle on the road it could ultimately undermine their title bid.

Having been sidelined since injuring a calf in the pre-match warm-up ahead of the 1-0 defeat at Wolves on Feb 5, Ferdinand is now unlikely to return to first-team action until the visit to Liverpool a week on Sunday.

“Rio and Jonny [Evans] hope to be available next week,” Ferguson said. “Next week means the Liverpool game. Chris Smalling has done fantastic [in Ferdinand’s absence], but he is only 20.

“Rio is experienced and I think Chris will understand that, in games like Liverpool, if Rio is fit and ready for it, I will definitely play him.”

Any United encounter with Liverpool at Anfield is viewed as critical, and the significance of next Sunday’s fixture could be even more crucial to their title hopes if the trips to Wigan and Chelsea go badly.

Dropped points at the likes of Craven Cottage, St Andrew’s and Villa Park, plus the defeat at Molineux, have highlighted United’s inability to overcome teams in the bottom half of the table away from Old Trafford.

Wigan, sitting in the bottom three, are traditionally a rich source of points for United, who have won all of their five previous visits. Ferguson admits that the time has come for his players to rediscover such ruthless form.

“Our away form has not been as good as it normally is,” Ferguson conceded. “That’s the acid test, I suppose, and we’ve got these three away games now.

“But three points on Saturday is just as important as three points at Chelsea or Liverpool, or Arsenal when we play them.

“It’s difficult to explain [the away record]. You could analyse one or two of the games, like against Everton and Fulham, but it doesn’t matter at this stage of the season because they are all going to be massive games, whether they are home or away.

“Our record at Chelsea recently has been poor. We have to do something about that and that’s what Tuesday is about.

“But Wigan is the most important one and we have to concentrate on this and hopefully get the result we want.”

Arsenal’s victory against Stoke in midweek moved them seven points clear of Manchester City in third place, prompting Ferguson to concede that the title race was now most likely to be contested purely by United and Arsenal.

He said: “Normally, two teams break away. You come towards the end and there are always two teams and that’s the way it’s looking at the moment.

“I think Arsenal or ourselves will win it, but it’s all about a gathering of points now.

“It looks like maybe 82 points will win the league. We think we can gather that points total from the games we’ve got.

“You don’t care where you get them. You may drop points somewhere but, hopefully, the overall total is going to be enough.”

With Tuesday’s clash against Chelsea in mind, Ryan Giggs may be rested on Saturday to avoid aggravating a tight hamstring on a pitch which has been partially relaid at the cost of £100,000 since Wigan’s FA Cup exit against Bolton 10 days ago.

Ferguson said: “Wigan have relaid their turf, some of it anyway, although I understand the pitch is OK and not too bad.

“Obviously Wigan were concerned about it as I believe the pitch was really bad, but they have done something about it.”

Ferdinand Bisa Kembali Hadapi Liverpool

Cedera Rio Ferdinand bisa saja pulih lebih cepat dan kembali bermain pada pekan mendatang.

Ferdinand menderita cedera sejak awal Februari lalu yang membuatnya absen dalam beberapa pertandingan, termasuk di tim nasional Inggris.

Pemain berusia 32 tahun itu diperkirakan baru akan pulih dalam sepuluh hari mendatang. Namun menurut Sir Alex Ferguson, Ferdinand sudah hampir pulih dari cederanya, begitu juga dengan Jonny Evans.

"Kondisi Rio dan Jonny sudah semakin membaik. Rio bahkan sudah mulai berlatih ringan dan mengatakan siap diturunkan. Tapi saya belum akan menurunkannya pada Selasa nanti, mungkin baru pekan depan saat menghadapi Liverpool," ucap Fergie seperti dilansir dari The Sun.

Manchester United akan menghadapi serangkaian jadwal yang padat. Pada Selasa (1/3) mendatang, mereka akan bertemu Chelsea dalam partai tunda Liga Primer Inggris, beberapa hari kemudian menghadap Liverpool dan berlaga di Liga Champions melawan Marseille.

Ferdinand sendiri sempat terlihat di bangku penonton saat MU menghadapi Wigan Athletic, Sabtu (26/2) waktu setempat. MU menang besar 4-0 atas tim tuan rumah dalam gim tersebut.

Ferdinand: Efek Torres Baru Terasa Musim Depan

Ferdinand menyukai kejutan yang tersaji pada deadline bursa transfer.

Rio Ferdinand mengaku dirinya mengikuti perkembangan bursa transfer Januari lalu.

Walaupun kaget dengan manuver yang dilakukan Chelsea dengan memboyong Fernando Torres dari Liverpool, bek Manchester United itu menyukai kejutan-kejutan yang biasa tersaji jelang penutupan transfer window.

“Saya benar-benar suka hari deadline bursa transfer. Kesepakatan soal Torres bahkan membuat saya berpikir, ‘Wah, mereka benar-benar serius’,” kata Ferdinand kepada Inside United.

Namun, pemain yang harus absen ketika United bertandang ke Stamford Bridge, Rabu (2/3) dinihari WIB, karena masih dibelit cedera betis itu tak yakin kedatangan El Nino akan banyak membantu The Blues dalam sisa perjalanan musim ini.

“Tapi apakah transfer tersebut akan membantu Chelsea berkembang musim ini? Saya tak tahu. Musim depan mungkin saya akan mengatakan ‘Ya, mereka akan berkembang’. Tapi sulit untuk beradaptasi dengan cepat pada Januari.”

Rio set to miss Anfield trip
Brown set to deputise for suspended Vidic against Liverpool
2nd March 2011

http://img.skysports.com/10/12/218x298/Rio-Ferdinand-Manchester-United-Champions-Lea_2538748.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect Rio Ferdinand to be fit for Manchester United's trip to Liverpool at the weekend.

Ferdinand has been sidelined for the past month with a calf injury suffered in the warm-up prior to United's first defeat of the season at Wolves.

The defender was again absent for United's 2-1 reverse at Chelsea on Tuesday evening and Ferguson had been hoping Ferdinand would be ready to return against Liverpool.

However, speaking following the game at Stamford Bridge, the Red Devils manager expressed his doubts that Ferdinand would be available to face his team's arch-rivals.

With Nemanja Vidic suspended for the trip to Anfield after a late sending-off against Chelsea, and Jonny Evans also injured, Wes Brown is set to partner Chris Smalling on Sunday.

"I don't think Rio will be fit for Liverpool," said Ferguson. "Wes Brown will take over."

A warrant was issued today for the arrest of a woman charged with harassment of England football captain Rio Ferdinand.

Susanne Ibru, 38, was due to appear at court in Knutsford, Cheshire, this morning.

When she failed to show, magistrates issued a warrant for her arrest not backed by bail.

The Manchester United star has allegedly been plagued by Ibru turning up at his home and asking to speak to him.

Ferdinand, 32, who lives in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, with his wife Rebecca and their two sons, alerted police and Ibru, of the Friary Estate, Peckham, south London, was arrested and charged last year..

Ibru was due to appear today at Macclesfield Magistrates' Court - which is sitting at Knutsford Crown Court - for a pre-trial hearing.

Rio's rush job: United desperate to have Ferdinand back to face Liverpool

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/544.$plit/C_71_article_1409950_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?04%2F03%2F2011%2009%3A02%3A04%3A945

Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to get Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand back to stop £35m Liverpool hitman Andy Carroll.

The Reds manager has long earmarked Sunday’s crunch clash at Anfield for Ferdinand’s return from a calf strain.

And the need to get the England captain back out on to the pitch has only been intensified by the prospect of Carroll making his Liverpool debut.

Kop boss Kenny Dalglish taunted his Old Trafford rival on Thursday – refusing to reveal if his record signing is ready to play his first game since his January move from Newcastle.

The England striker has been sidelined with a thigh injury and Dalglish said: “Andy’s training is always progressing, but it’s not progressed into a game yet. We said all along that we’ve been delighted with his progress.

“There’s nothing that he’s done that’s not been encouraging. Whether he’s involved on Sunday or not I’m sure Fergie would love to know.”

It is the thought of dealing with Liverpool’s new £60m strike-force, which also includes £22.8m Luis Suarez, that has caused Ferguson the most concern this week.

With Nemanja Vidic suspended following his red card at Chelsea and Jonny Evans still recovering from an ankle injury, Wes Brown has been on stand-by.

But despite publicly ruling Ferdinand out of Sunday, United’s staff at Carrington have been working tirelessly to get him back to full fitness.

Ferguson is desperate to avoid having to field a patched-up back four in a match that could prove pivotal to United’s hopes of a record 19th title.

Following defeat at Chelsea on Tuesday, United are just four points ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand.

By the time they step out on to the pitch at Anfield that advantage could be down to one point with Arsene Wenger’s side taking on Sunderland on Saturday.

With United’s away form – particularly their goals against record on the road – threatening to undermine their title challenge, Ferguson doesn’t want to go into such a vital game with the inexperienced Chris Smalling alongside virtual forgotten man, Brown. United have conceded more away goals than any of the top four this season, with 18 in 14 matches.

Their four away wins are fewer than any of the top five. At the same time no one has lost fewer away games.

Both Ferdinand and Evans will be given as long as possible to get the all clear. Should neither make it, Ferguson has the option of reverting John O’Shea to centre back with Rafael recalled on the right.
