There are loads of players I could name who are 16-16 looked like world beaters but then at 21-22 they are subs in non-league. There comes a time in your career when the pennies got to drop, where you've got to understand decisionmaking at the right, poignant moments in the game. When to pass, when to dribble, when to shoot. Game-changing moments, can you be the guy that sits there and takes the responsibility. And the great players do.

Rio FerdinandBest player? For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, โYou see that tree over there?โ - it'll be 40 yards away - โI'm going to hit itโ. And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best.
Rio FerdinandI used to read every, well, most nights. I think reading helps me in terms of relaxing... It helps me to get my mind off the game a little bit more and it helps me to be a little bit more focused.
