Beef and chicken for Drogba, fish for Aguero -- former Manchester United star Nemanja Vidic's meticulously planned pre-match diet, back in the day, certainly provides food for thought.
Vidic, who had earned a reputation as one of the world's best centre-backs during his days at Old Trafford, was in the country recently to launch the India chapter of Football For Peace.
"I eat more chicken, beef and pasta before the game (when I have to play against (Didier) Drogba but if I play against (Sergio) Aguero I eat fish, you know, right food to maybe lose one or two kilos," Vidic said, recalling his preparations before lining up against the world's best in his heydays.
Asked about the Premier League initiative in India, the 36-year-old central defender from Serbia had good things to say and sounded optimistic about the future of the sport in the country.
"I think it's a good project. Because in Serbia, they still don't have great facilities. But I think what the Premier League is targeting is helping these coaches to grow and to give the best possible knowledge to these young kids to grow."
