Most professional players are their own biggest critics. Some of the things you read in the papers that strike you as bang out of order will already have been thought by the players themselves

More quotes by Rio Ferdinand
I set myself high standards on the pitch and know I have not always lived up to them this season.
Rio Ferdinand
It hit me like a thunderbolt!
Rio Ferdinand
It was wicked meeting Nelson Mandela.
Rio Ferdinand
Four years ago maybe we thought we were inferior to Brazil, subconsciously we didn't see ourselves beating them. Now we believe in ourselves, we can be on the pitch with any team in the world and think we can win.
Rio Ferdinand
For me, the biggest idiot will always be John Terry.
Rio Ferdinand
Do you know who I am? Why, have you forgotten?
Rio Ferdinand
In some ways, I was a little bit surprised [by how dominant we were] but then I look at the players in our changing room and it doesn't surprise me because we've got quality in there. If we click and play well like we did in the first half, we can open up any team.
Rio Ferdinand
If I saw an ugly bird but she was a celebrity, she wouldn't attract me at all.
Rio Ferdinand
It doesn't matter whether you're a senior or not, if something needs saying to a colleague it will be said.
Rio Ferdinand
For too long now, European football authorities have not taken the problem of racism in the game seriously and refuse to acknowledge how widespread the problem is.
Rio Ferdinand
I 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.
Rio Ferdinand
Gary Neville is the club captain but has been injured for the best part of a year now - and Giggsy's taken on the mantlepiece.
Rio Ferdinand
I feel the longer he stays at United the better it is for the club. He's done so much for United you can't imagine him not being here. (on Sir Alex Ferguson)
Rio Ferdinand
No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.
Rio Ferdinand
Best player? For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” - it'll be 40 yards away - “I'm going to hit it”. And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best.
Rio Ferdinand
I'm sure the mantelpiece of captaincy will suit Wayne.
Rio Ferdinand
I've heard people say it looks as if I don't care and I've certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don't think I can change it. I know I'm working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn't always look that way.
Rio Ferdinand
His temperament is always there to be questioned because he plays on the edge. That is just the way he plays. It is a cliche but if you took that edge away from Wayne he wouldn't be the same player and I would rather have the Wayne Rooney we have now.
Rio Ferdinand
You are always flattered when big clubs are interested in you.
Rio Ferdinand
If any player has a bad game its there in the back of your mind in the next game. Theres always a hangover. It is like a wounded animal in a way, as you want to get out there as quick as possible and rectify it.
