Man United opponent takes cockiness to a new level

Confidence is always important in football, but it might be possible to take it too far.

Victor Vazquez, a midfielder for Manchester United's Champions League opponents Club Brugge, voted for himself in the Belgian team's 2015 Player of the Year awards and justified the move by saying: "I think that I deserve the prize". "[I] see nothing wrong with my vote. One must be positive and believe in oneself," added the former Barcelona player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWCjqAbaFYI Vazquez, who scored five Europa League goals for Brugge last season, was named Player of the Year after securing more than twice as many votes as runner-up Lior Refaelov, so it's unlikely his own ballot paper was all that crucial. The Spaniard will be up against some familiar faces in the European qualifier, as he was a teenager in Barca's youth set-up when United manager Louis van Gaal was in charge at Camp Nou and backup goalkeeper Victor Valdes was also coming through the ranks.
