Socceroos legend Mark Viduka has made some explosive claims about some of the biggest names of the 'golden generation'! 9WWOS
"I think Lucas Neill came to that Asian Cup at that stage not in a good state of mind because of the fact that Graham Arnold had offered him the captaincy because he wasn't sure I was coming to the Asian Cup or not.
"Do I regret stopping? No. Because my problem was that my generation of players that I grew up with were a different breed to the new generation, and, to be the honest, I wasn't a big fan of the new generation of players. "Hopefully he's learned a lot from the days of when he coached the national team at the Asian Cup, especially man management," Viduka said. "I think he has."Viduka also dished out some details about his relationship with former Leeds and Socceroos teammate Harry Kewell. At the time Viduka joined the club, Aussie football fans were overjoyed at the prospect of Australia's two best attacking players playing side-by-side.
"I think maybe our relationship at Leeds wasn't that good because -- and I can't say for sure -- I think that affected the way [Harry] viewed me. [The relationship is better now.] We last spoke in 2013." Viduka didn't rule out coming back to Australia to offer the younger generations some advice to better their skills.
