Vidic not thinking about SA just yet

Serbian defensive rock Nemanja Vidic has admitted he's currently totally focused on his club Manchester United, rather than his international team.

"There is still so much time to the World Cup so for now I am concentrating on the big matches I have with Manchester United", said the man, who's capped 44 times for his country.

Vidic actually missed the last World Cup in Germany. 2006 was the year in which he made his big move to Manchester United from Spartak Moscow and was expected to shine at the World stage with his club performances back then not very good, but faith intervened and thus the no nonsense defender missed out on a place in the Serbia & Montenegro squad.

Serbia will face tough, group D in South Africa. Even though captain Michael Ballack has come out an said that he doesn't see Germany as favorites, you'd expect the 3-times World Champions to get through from the group. Question remains, who'll be the second to proceed. Serbia have a good squad, and in my thoughts capable of a surprise, but a lot will depend on their group matches. If they can get out of it, they could go far.

An opinion, Vidic agrees with: "It is very important to start well. We had a problem with injuries last time and were in a difficult group to start with and it just didn't go well. Obviously it is not easy this time either but I don't think we should complain about that. We have some players who are at good teams in Europe and we still have a chance to reach the next round."
