He is without a doubt the best right back I've ever seen. He's got the pace to match maicon and dani alves, he's stronger than most centre backs would be and to top it all off he's pretty good going forward too. He is not one for the future my friends. He should be part of the new England back four: hart Richards jones smalling Johnson. That back four will give us the stability we need to win tournaments again.
he was playing for england when he was just 19 but then he was back in u21 squad and hasn beeen picked for senior team since despite playing better then players like matthew upson etc
I have to admire this guy; looks one of the greatest "natural" defenders in the world. I think he plays ever so well. I'd sign him or play him for England in the future.
Inter Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Ac Milan, Bayern Munich and Hamburg have all wanted him in the last 2-3 years,Inter and Barca more recently! City through and through though :D
Come to Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some rumors flying about. Would love to see him become a yid. He knows who has the better chance to win a title and its Spurs.
micah richards should be starting right back for england dont care what anyone says.. Lol.
i dont really get to see him play cuz i live in mexico but when they show a city game he is amazing its very hard for attackers to pass him.. and if they do he makes them really have to earn it hes a moonster and he is really fast!!
micah and glen johnson are englands future right backs but i prefer micah cos glen likes to go more attacking but does'nt do right back as good glen johnson realy should be a right winger.
perhaps but seeing as city hav Toure and Lescott they shud play richards on the right n he's very eager to get forward wich is also good for that position
This guy is scarily strong! If only he was 3-4" taller, he'd make such a good centre back! If he improves his reading of the game, he could be the next Cannavaro!
Micah richards is such a inspriation he might not realise it though i mean the guy is young but man his talented imagine what he will be like in the next few years with abit of experiance in his nogging, his got the psyhique and pace just needs experiance and read the game more.
One thing I've known from watching matches is that at higher levels, strength and muscling people off the ball becomes a lot more important.
However I was wondering, what is legal in "strength" or "muscling a player out"? E.g. if you're running with the ball and you just randomly shove the guy out of the way that's obviously a foul. I'm not really sure on shoulder barges. What's legal and what's not, when it comes to strength? Cheers.
As long as you have the ball you are able to shield it with your body you cannot raise your hands and use any sort of force because that would be pushing and that would count as a foul.
If there is a loose ball say me and you run towards the ball if i build on my upper body and arm strength i could barge you out of my way but you need to be to the side of me in order for me to do that legally if i barge you from behind that's a foul.
So if a defender is side by side, about the same speed as me and we're running for the ball, is it legal for me to barge him out the way with my shoulder?
If so would you say that in professional football where a lot of tactics are possession orientated, would you say that strength is a crucial factor in the game, to be successful in 50-50 tackles / loose balls?
Also for a defender which do you think is more important speed or strength?
hope he dnt get pushed out of the way at man city, with al this stupid buying every player thats played one good game thing. but if he does i hope he comes back to brum and plays for villa. my fav defender in prem
Micah Richards, England Defender, in Aiya Napa on his swine flu, as reported in the UK newspapers today; "I thought at first it was alcohol poisoning....my friends had then to bring me drinks in bed". Well done, Micah, this perfectly, but perfectly, encapsulates the reasons why England's 1966 World Cup will remain their only one. I wonder how Shaun W-P and Premiership pals are getting on with their booze-drenched roasts over in L.A.? Ah, to let your hair down in the off season in style!
Micah has contacted the swine flu virus while vacationing in Cyprus, according to Soccerway. He's taking Tamiflu and isolating himself in his hotel room.
mark my words he will be the best CB inthe world ......... only if he wants to and stops slacking off..... give he kid a break he is barely 20! no offence to the city fans but i hope he comes to arsenal if he decides to leave your team,,,,,, he is just what we need right now
I think he should be a better side back player rather than CB center back player ... because he has speed, but positioning and reaction is not enough nice video anyway
Great video...first decent video ive seen of a defender...dont know why all video's about defenders on you tube show them scorin a goal...its defending that they are in the team for.
would be perfect for arsenal... hope they buy him :) Arsenal could sell Silvestre and Senderos ... then they only need a CDM. If they do so , they can win premier league :) they also have to sell some players... maybe bendtner, eboue, Eduardo and buy a new attacker
yes as a defensiv midfielder 4 arsenal richards wud b awsum. he shudnt b a central defender, he goes 4ward 2 much, bout time city r playin him rite bk. im a big micah richards fan

sad really, cuz he looks out of position at right back, you don't need muscle on the sides, but rather in the middle of your defense.
