I can only change it on the pitch, not  by saying what I think in the media. It actually just makes me more  focused to do my job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian international also went on to talk about Chelsea&#8217;s title chances, with Vidic taking a similar stance to Chelsea captain John Terry who said that if the Blues fail to win against United, then they will be out of the race.<\/p>\n<p>Vidic said: &#8220;They are so many points behind, it would be very difficult for them to come back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But anything can happen. If you look at the league and how many points  we have lost and the games Chelsea lost in a row, you never know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The former Spartak Moscow defender is one of the favourites to win the PFA Player of the Year award, but he managed to stay humble about his form this season.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;It is not for me to decide whether I have ever played better.I just try to limit my mistakes.\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As long as I am thinking like that I will keep myself on a good level. In all honesty, I am never happy with my game. I want to improve all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vidic&#8217;s fine form this season has seen him rise up the <a href=\"http:\/\/cn.castrolfootball.com\/\">Castrol Rankings<\/a> to a position of 47, up 14 places since last August.<\/p>\n<p><span readability=\"1.1884057971\"><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>For more <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.castrolfootball.com\/\">Castrol Rankings<\/a> insights visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/3463\/castrol-football-zone\">Castrol Zone<\/a> on Goal.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/e3586e61110920_news-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/02\/27\/2371742\/manchester-united-captain-nemanja-vidic-insists-he-is-not-scared-\" title=\"Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic insists he is not scared of playing against Fernando Torres\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic insists he is not scared of playing against Fernando Torres<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Ryan Benson 27 Feb 2011 18:22:00 Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has declared that he doesn&#8217;t worry about playing against Chelsea &#8216;s Fernando Torres .
