Was thinking about this and cannot think of anyone in the mould of Vieira, Keane or Duncan Ferguson
Anyone who falls over. Instant freekick
What happened to all the English hardmen? I only see continental or South American names her. Gone are the days of Pierce, Batty, Jones, and the legend that is Julian Dicks.
Yeah nothing about growing up in a criminal run favela would make you tough at all… 🤣
Sergio Ramos? And I was quite amazed by Ruben Loftus Cheek against PSG. What a unit that guy is, they couldn’t take him down. Media compared him to prime Vieira after the game. Too bad he’s injury prone.
Nah he was also just dirty, not hard.
Pepe and Ramos and it isn’t even close
The Atletico Madrid team parking the bus.
Simeone literally just teaches them all how to be wind-up merchants and frustrate better teams.
More goals per game than Man City, Bayern , or Barca this year btw
Have you seen them this season?
Gary Medel still kicking it, El Pitbull ❤️
Had a square up with Diego Costa the other day.
Araujo by a mile
It’s like you forget Pepe is still playing?
That skinny dude?
Gabriel is pretty hard. Gabriel Paulista too. Wouldn’t pick a fight with Romero or Joelinton either
Cant think of any tbh
my first thought was nigel de jong for some reason. his karate kick on xabi is classic
He’s still playing?
No, he is the technical director of the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) nowadays
Misnomer if ever there was one for that clogger.
Mark van bommel too
Romero could probably chop anyone. Wouldn’t want to get in a fight with him
Really? Rate him as a sucker punch artist if I’ve ever seen one. Doubt he’d actually square up and he isn’t that big.
Dan Burn seems abit off the rails and built like a tank
He’s a stick insect. Built like a tank 😂
Pepe?
Just became the oldest goalscorer in the UCL I think.
He could be crazy sometimes, but surprisingly his red cards are much lower than I expected. Only 6 red cards in just about 10 years of Real Madrid, in all competitions.
Only 6 in all competitions is wild. Pepe was one of the dirtiest players I’ve ever seen.
Otamendi still not taking any prisoners at Benfica.
I seem to remember Otamendi making strong challenges but looking like a shitbag quite often too.
De ligt maybe, he’s not dirty but he has no regard for his or the opponent’s safety.
I was hoping he’d pick up some dirty tricks from Chiellini, but I don’t feel like he’s ever reached his Ajax form again. He is such a unit and back then he was dripping with confidence.
Cbs are always rated by how good their team is, de ligt was the best defender an serie a and prolly best in bundesliga rn
Both Upamecano and Kim Min Jae are performing better than de Ligt at this moment.
It might just be a temporary dip in form, de Ligt was Bayern’s and the Bundesliga’s best CB last season in my opinion. He’ll be back in top form sooner or later, I’m almost certain about that
