Edu had lovely body shape to glide past players. Loved a drag back to beat a man and had fantastic passing ability long and short. A great one touch man. He opened sides up with first time passes in behind defenses ie the Mike Riley game at OT when he pinged it first time dissecting their midfield to put Ljungberg through on goal before Ferdinand fouled him. That was his trademark attacking pass first time drilled into space he had that vision and technical ability to open sides up. As for his skill his close control and shuffle to score with his right foot against Celta Vigo in champions league was lovely.

It’s worth watching the 5th round win at Old trafford in 03 or the league title winning game in 02 full 90 mins are easily found of both games and see Edu busting skills all over the park. Man shuffled past players.
A 2001/2 season review is good watching all round as Edu played wide left, centre mid and left back and excelled in all positions.
The 90 mins 5-1 in San Siro is online as well Edu gliding past international midfielders with ease.
