this is my all time fav player..FERNANDO CARLOS REDONDO NERI.An argentine borned player. for me, he's the best midfielder..a ball winner, a defensive player,creative and a good passer. maybe some of u wouldn't agree, but who cares.i can't forget the magic moment of him when he amaze all the MU's fan by backheeling the ball in between henning berg's leg at the side line, then cross the ball for raul to score the goal. real madrid won 3-2 at old trafford, then real went all the way to win the 2000 champs league. he won champs league Most Valuable Player at that time..
now he's playing for AC Milan, but didnt do well coz of injury. didnt hear news from this player lately, maybe he will retire..if he do so,this will be a sad day in football history.maybe not for many football fans, but for me he's a legend..
my style of play also inspired by him..even though i can play any positions,i always want to play as a defensive midfielder juz because of him..hehhe..but believe me i'm not as good as him..hah!!
quero joga bola.
ciao

Hi Shahairul
Yes, Redondo was the best defensive midlfielder football history has seen.
Same as you, he is my all time favourite player and no one will replace him as far as i am concerned.
Redondo had retired from football after the 2004/05 season. His last international league match was against Brescia where he came on as a substitute in i think the 67 or 70th minute.
He played very well in his last match in the Serie A.
His last official match was a month after the Brescia match in Shanghai. AC Milan lost to shanghai's Shenhua FC in Shanghai.
After his retirement, he played in a few friendly matches for Zidane and friends and also Zanetti's charity match.
I last saw him in the video news on him being one of the juries in a Red Bull football juggling and free style competition.
Like you have said, I believe he will remain as an inspiration for young generation of defensive midfielders.
