I almost feel like Becks doesn't get the respect he truly deserves. His right foot was pure magic. Incredible engine and work rate. Best crosser of the ball you'll ever see❤
Beckham, the reason why I fell in love with England as a national team during the 2002 world cup, and the reason I started supporting Manchester united! Legend. Wish he stayed for a couple of seasons when he joined AC Milan, as that club, alongside Man United are the two clubs I've supported since I was a kid.
What was so unique about him as a player was his consistency when it came to crossing, long diagonal passing and set pieces. It was so rare to see him produce a bad pass, no matter the distance. Also, whenever he got a freekick within shooting distance you just knew there was a strong possibility it was going to end up in the net. Looking back, there was definitely a long period of time where he was under appreciated as a player by those who weren't united fans. Undoubtedly one of the most technically gifted players England has produced.
The funny thing is that these are first-class legends in the game, who have played with the best in the world, talking about messi with so much admiration, respect, curiosity, and amazement.
Perché sanno tutti i calciatori che Messi è un giocatore UNICO, parliamo di giocatori che hanno segnato la storia del calcio ⚽ delle leggende che sanno benissimo che Messi è un giocatore unico genialità pura, chiunque lo riconosce, 20 anni che insegna calcio ⚽ mi fanno ridere i paragoni con Messi è troppo di un'altra categoria è detto no sa me dà milioni di persone, ma dei giocatori allenatori .
The most misunderstood about Messi is his work ethic. People always thinks the talent does it for him but as Becks told Rio, he works harder than most players to get where he is. And if you really think about it and you've played competitive yourself, you know its impossible to get to a high level without hard work, even with the best talent. Messi is a winner and the greatest of all time.
Totally agree - you can't get to this top level without obsession and hard work. Talent only takes you so far (although it would take Messi pretty far tbh).
Esattamente, pensano che Messi non si migliora , ma questo lo dicono solo i fan boy del RUclips, chiunque allenatore detto cose su Messi che in alemanno fa delle cose pazzesche. La verità che ci sono gli odiatori è chi si gode il calcio è Messi e l'essenza del calcio ⚽🐐👑
Rio, your natural ability to interview people the way you do, feels like i'm sitting there with you and becks - a flowing conversation with depth and honesty 🥳🙏
I was watching him play at Milan and I just thought that Italian football suited his game so much. He was picking out players from miles away, putting it on a sixpence as per usual. He was well into his 30s and looked like the best player on the pitch. Ridiculous passing range, crosses, free kicks, it’s hilarious to recall the comments that used to knock his playing ability. He was world class. Runner up for the Ballon D’or, key in the champions league for Utd, in the 90s, he was a great player.
Can’t wait for this one!! I grew up supporting United when they were at the height of their success. Becks is my hero and the most iconic footballer of a generation! 💯 🐐

I just wish MLS games can on earlier lol, I’m on the east coast so they are usually late.

Insightful interview. This is the first time I've ever watched Becks in ANY interview; I was never a fan of his. But watching him in this interview, the way he carries himself, his body language, his choice of words and his general EQ, I'd have to say he is corporate leader material through and through. As a retired corporate type myself, I mean this in a respectful and positive way. He's a good role model. Honestly, if I had any children, I'd save this interview video for my kids to watch.

Ahahahah poverino quello tiene l'ossessione di Messi ahahahah incredibile ogni cosa che dice si ritorce conto , ormai è andato ma no solo da giocatore anche di testa ahahahah secondo me si sogna Messi nuuuuu devo fare siuuuuu rigore ahahahah
@@globalsakhamuzi solo quello gli è rimasto, se non parlano più di me , faccio qualcosa per far parlare di me con sempre il paragone inesistente hahahah sa benissimo che Messi è di gran lunga il miglior giocatore di sempre. Sa benissimo che e' finito da anni , sa benissimo che tiene alcuni fan che non sanno niente neanche della sua carriera, mi è capitato di leggere alcuni commenti di fan di cr7 che dicevano cose non vere , tipo quando aveva 37 anni alzava la Champions ahaha mentre invece già era svincolato,perché faceva panchina aveva sputtanato il Club Manchester, convinto che tutti volevano lui , ma purtroppo la realtà è che solo i 🐪 se lo sono presi , e un rompi spogliatoio è non lo dico io , basta vedere se vince e lui non segna,oppure non fa 90 minuti lascia la panchina, basta guardare Portogallo nel mondiale, sinceramente è stato un attaccante stratosferico, ovviamente Messi è tutt'altra cosa, lo rispettavo perché comunque fatto una grandissima carriera nella storia del calcio, ma purtroppo la sua ossessione lo rende ridicolo. Chi capisce di calcio ⚽ non esiste un paragone, se mi parli di RUclips a Messi non gli può fregare niente, se no anche lì diventerebbe troppo ossessionato , Messi aveva un canale quando era molto piccolo e tiene video di tanti anni fa , è deve stare attento perché se i fan di Messi vogliono, lo mandano in tilt a CR7 con tutti i fan boy, è che per gli amanti del calcio ⚽ non ci frega niente, io non guardo le cose di CR7 perché non mi interessa, se parliamo di soldi i 🐪per Messi gli davano 500 milioni a stagione un MILIARDO E MEZZO capisci che lo poteva stracciare anche lì , Messi non gli importa, gli importa della sua vita, stare bene con la sua famiglia, i suoi anni e divertirsi al calcio ⚽ e io che amo il calcio mi godo l'essenza del calcio ⚽🐐 tiene RUclips hahahaha eh mo invita Messi è un peccato che parla troppo per ossessione oppure invidia calcistica 🐪😭🐐🇦🇷😂
Absolutely loved this conversation between two legends! 🔥 The chemistry between you and Becks is unmatched, and it’s so refreshing to see you both reminisce and drop wisdom. Rio, your ability to bring out the best stories and moments is top class-more interviews like this, please! 🙌
Robbed really. Should've won it in many people's eyes. How do you win a treble and still get pipped by Rivaldo. Nowadays it's like a prerequisite to win the champions league or WC to win Ballon' dor
@@TopGun-y4p yeah. Rivaldo was awesome at that time tho. And Del piero was. So was R9 & France had only a year ago won the World Cup with Zidane being a massive reason for that.
Another excellent episode, Beckham as usual, very charismatic; it was great going down memory lane! With respect to Zidane, I always looked at Cantona and Zidane in the same light - they both had an aura about them! They knew they were the center of attention and rode it with as much spotlight on them as possible! Where do you go from the guests of Ronaldo and Beckham? only time will tell! Looking forward to the next episode!
Great intervieuw of Beckham true, honest and humble...but what I see the most in both.. Beckham and Rio, is the willingness to learn. Learn from the misstakes, but also learn from people who are smarter. Thanks for this insight...!!!!
One of tbe greatest ever player of all time. One of the best No7 in football history. Becks was one of my football guru. And Rio, you are superb brother. Thanks. Both Legends !
I named my dog Beckham. I am a Saints fan and my hero growing up was Letissier... however, the reason I named my dog Beckham and Not LeTiss, is cause everytime Becks was on the pitch either for Man Utd or England; he made stuff happen, he was relentless. He pressed, ran and then on top of it all, his right foot was majic and I think he was the best crosser of a ball in world football history; plus that free kick!
Players like Messi Ronaldo and past legends like Pele and Diego I believe are a gift from God, There just built different especially mentally, look at how long Messi and Ronaldo have been playing at the highest level they still train better than anyone and never let their standards drop as soon as they notice their standard dropping that's when they'll walk away, Have to admire there devotion and love of the game...
I was ousted from school emulating his hair cut, started dressing like him, loved football because of him, now started cleaning kitchen spotless middle of the night after watching Netflix series. You have a big positive effect on people Beckham. Keep the good work giving inducement to people like us 😊
It’s funny that people actually believe Messi doesn’t work hard or do lot of trainings. It’s the narrative that media created to bring the GOAT debate to make someone relevant. He doesn’t post his workout (like someone does) on social media doesn’t mean he doesn’t do it. He didn’t simply become GOAT with just his natural talent.
Beckham, in his prime, was extremely popular both as a player and personality so I wouldn't consider him "underrated". Football fans underappreciated him probably because he is not all-rounded (ie: can't take players on with fancy skills, don't do aerial challenges, seldom go into tackle to win possession, etc). His best ability was crossing the ball and he does it with distinction, possibly the best ever. And crossing is perhaps an underrated skill of the game because this is the final-ball and simply results in goals. Beating 2 players at the wing without the right pass does not result in a goal. Beckham's game can turn good strikers into golden boot winners.
What an interview man. I think that one of his best moments was when SAF gave him the captain's armband. Shortly after that red in the World Cup. The way he accepted the role and led the club and country. Forget all the other stuff but seeing that unfold was beautiful.
Let's not get it twisted...away from his Hollywood persona...Becks is one of the best footballers this country has ever produced. His technique is second to none. His work rate was incredible, he was top leader. Watch back the 99 final and that guy was the engine of the team. I'm a Leeds fan it was fun to dislike Becks as a kid. But objectively we all loved him and knew how good he was for the English game.
We really was spoilt in the 2000s late 90s, becks, gerrard, lampard, scholes, r9, zidane, figo, henry, viera, cafu, ronaldinho, adriano, tottie, vieri, del piero, pirlo, seedorf the list goes on what a time to grow up watching football
Most people think that only CR trains hard, but Messi wouldn't be at this world class level without constant hard training. He just doesn't brag about it all the time or feel the need to show it all over social media. He's a shy and humble guy who doesn't NEED praise for the things he does. Messi is an authentic, hard working, insanely talented person.
I think they do different type of training though. CR7 does more gym work than Messi, but I wouldn't be surprised if Messi actually spends more time on the grass shooting the ball. And as you said, Messi doesn't publish much stuff on social media. In fact he seems to post his wife and kids more than anything.
Exactly!!! Messi doesn't need to remind the world that he works hard. There's no way in hell he would be able to play like he does with the demand of modern football at 37 years old without complete dedication
@awfan221 actually i think it's actually the opposite. Messi drives with the ball, acceleration and deacceleration, has to break off challenges and defenders riding him n trying to cut his legs off. His core and legs have to be insanely strong. Where as his technical ability his magic wand of a left leg will always be accurate
That's bull crap... People behave played with him in his club and they have never testified of his hard work. He does face time and not train so hard so don't come and say CR7 is bragging.. The people that speak about this of him are his colleagues.. Let CR7 breathe
What a legend, what a player, grew up in his era, still yet to see a better passer, his accuracy and technique was off the charts, his work rate was phenomenal and he deserves alot more credit as player, he's also too good looking ❤
that generation as a whole were levels above the players you see today. they had that masculine energy as players. today it feels like watching boys play. players that played upto the late 90's era and the ones to maybe started just after that such as cr7 and messi are the last of it. those players equalivelent of an ipad was a football. kids are growing up with way too much enetertainment distractions today. Football is becoming more athletic and less skill.
Just tell me where do you find all this unprofessional air stewardess now a days, I’ve left with no option anyway as you are connecting my usual route with minimum layover
Как ПСЖ мог свистеть в адрес Месси, это уму не поддаётся... Лео пришел в МЛС и выйграл чемпионат и стал лучшим бомбардиром клуба. Тот же Роналду пришёл в сильную команду и упал в таблице. Лео находится в свои 37 в сумашедшей форме, мог бы играть в любом топ клубе Европы. Будущий обладатель золотого мяча кто бы там не был выглядит смешным глядя на статистику по сравнению с 37 -им Месси, а то что он творил на ЧМ это абсообтная фантастика, таких перфомансов в истории у пару-тройку игроков на мой взгляд(Марадона, R9 , Зидан)
Been supporting Utd since 89... Gutted when Becks left in 2003... Most underrated player... A genius on the right wing. The way he moved his body when passing the ball and on free kicks. Just iconic.
They never played together. Becks was the guy when I grew up in the 90s. That goal against Wimbledon in 95 was just mad. CR7 ended the GOAT. Take nothing from Beck's man. A Utd Legend
@@doransooryalall8803 obviously not. the response was you being “gutted.” becks was always a fav of mine and he deserves more praise for his work ethic and mentality alone.
I would’ve liked to have heard Becks’s thoughts on ETH and the current United squad. I appreciate he may not want to have commented to avoid putting further pressure on the manager and squad but it would’ve been good to hear.
Me: Watching this as a goalkeeper to learn and get inspired. Rio: 'Goalkeepers are not really footballers, are they?' Beckham: 'No, not at all.' Also me: Packing my gloves and heading out to prove you both wrong 😤😂
I’m not a Utd fan but I have this feeling that Becks and Rio and the rest of the squad had this unbelievable desire and hunger that drove them to the top for so many years. To hear them talk about their passion even though they have retired from the game it should inspire future generations forever.
DB's energy is that of success. He's an incredible human being who humbly goes about his life. I love how family oriented he is too. Him and Victoria are inspirational.
Hello from Greece Becks. First time i saw you as a child against Olympiacos in Athens. You were an incredible player and your right foot passing accuracy was mind blowing. Also the best in history for me.
I called this a long time ago, I said the player that plays most similar to Beckham in todays football is Trent, he’s like a Beckham regen. Both have got that insane ability to deliver a cross in no matter where they are on the pitch, both are incredible at free kicks. Neither of them defend and neither of them try to take players on. I even said the rumours of Trent going to Real Madrid next season would be incredible, if he’s not allowed to wear No66, he should take Beckham’s No23 for Real Madrid. All the times people mocked me for saying it, now the man himself has said it! Clear as day Trent is the closest thing we have to Beckham in modern day football.
@@thrilla72 There’s not much difference between them. I literally idolised David Beckham when I was younger, I’m fully aware of how he played and that’s why I instantly recognised that Trent is the player who plays most similar to him.
@@marvellousdazza2836 If you watched David Beckham you'd appreciate that he was able to control the midfield on and off the ball. Against the very best, Trent can't even get into midfield
He was one of the trendsetters. The pacesetters From a gooner And Rio 2 things ive been told my whole life im your lookalike from 9 years old till now at 38 😂 1000s of times Secondly on a big man level you were one of my idols growing up i wanted to defend like you! Hope you see this would be wicked Being able to watch all the icons of my era talk like this on podcasts blows my mind its like being with your pals catching up ! The worlds changed so much ! You lads played when it was still the proper gritty game. I was telling a 18 y.o only yday i grew up on zidanes, robertos, ronaldos, becks, rios and he looked at me like i was about 80 😂😂😂😮😂😂 he said i only know of them because of fifa 😂 Diff world now !
Wonderful interview, Rio, always appreciate the respect you voice for Gary as well, someone needs to make sure we remember how solid of a player he was. 🍻
I almost feel like Becks doesn't get the respect he truly deserves. His right foot was pure magic. Incredible engine and work rate. Best crosser of the ball you'll ever see❤
Agreed. He’s my favourite player. The crosses and free kicks were amazing.
He’s got more praise than any England player in history
because he just played in the era of there are more 10-15 players that as good and maybe better than him
@@macurlyfries I think that praise is more to do with his celebrity rather than his football.
@@Ainlore FACTS. Wtf has happened to football?
Miss watching Beckham play. Always part of my childhood watching him play for England. Bought so much excitement and joy
Think he retired too soon. Never really had any pace, and was passing as good as ever when he retired.
Beckham, the reason why I fell in love with England as a national team during the 2002 world cup, and the reason I started supporting Manchester united! Legend. Wish he stayed for a couple of seasons when he joined AC Milan, as that club, alongside Man United are the two clubs I've supported since I was a kid.

He was a phenomenal footballer and had everything; Technique, fitness, stamina, professionalism, leadership qualities and a huge will to win.

Ahahahah poverino quello tiene l'ossessione di Messi ahahahah incredibile ogni cosa che dice si ritorce conto , ormai è andato ma no solo da giocatore anche di testa ahahahah secondo me si sogna Messi nuuuuu devo fare siuuuuu rigore ahahahah
CR7 is a RUclipsr 😂😂😂
@@GiuseppeVerdelli😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@globalsakhamuzi solo quello gli è rimasto, se non parlano più di me , faccio qualcosa per far parlare di me con sempre il paragone inesistente hahahah sa benissimo che Messi è di gran lunga il miglior giocatore di sempre. Sa benissimo che e' finito da anni , sa benissimo che tiene alcuni fan che non sanno niente neanche della sua carriera, mi è capitato di leggere alcuni commenti di fan di cr7 che dicevano cose non vere , tipo quando aveva 37 anni alzava la Champions ahaha mentre invece già era svincolato,perché faceva panchina aveva sputtanato il Club Manchester, convinto che tutti volevano lui , ma purtroppo la realtà è che solo i 🐪 se lo sono presi , e un rompi spogliatoio è non lo dico io , basta vedere se vince e lui non segna,oppure non fa 90 minuti lascia la panchina, basta guardare Portogallo nel mondiale, sinceramente è stato un attaccante stratosferico, ovviamente Messi è tutt'altra cosa, lo rispettavo perché comunque fatto una grandissima carriera nella storia del calcio, ma purtroppo la sua ossessione lo rende ridicolo.
Chi capisce di calcio ⚽ non esiste un paragone, se mi parli di RUclips a Messi non gli può fregare niente, se no anche lì diventerebbe troppo ossessionato , Messi aveva un canale quando era molto piccolo e tiene video di tanti anni fa , è deve stare attento perché se i fan di Messi vogliono, lo mandano in tilt a CR7 con tutti i fan boy, è che per gli amanti del calcio ⚽ non ci frega niente, io non guardo le cose di CR7 perché non mi interessa, se parliamo di soldi i 🐪per Messi gli davano 500 milioni a stagione un MILIARDO E MEZZO capisci che lo poteva stracciare anche lì , Messi non gli importa, gli importa della sua vita, stare bene con la sua famiglia, i suoi anni e divertirsi al calcio ⚽ e io che amo il calcio mi godo l'essenza del calcio ⚽🐐 tiene RUclips hahahaha eh mo invita Messi è un peccato che parla troppo per ossessione oppure invidia calcistica 🐪😭🐐🇦🇷😂
Great People will always have a Great People with them. Beckham is having Messi with him!
Absolutely loved this conversation between two legends! 🔥 The chemistry between you and Becks is unmatched, and it’s so refreshing to see you both reminisce and drop wisdom. Rio, your ability to bring out the best stories and moments is top class-more interviews like this, please! 🙌
Thanks so much!!
Underrated player.. if he was France or Brazilian and not handsome people would rate him higher.. he came second in ballon dor in 1999 after Rivaldo.
Robbed really. Should've won it in many people's eyes. How do you win a treble and still get pipped by Rivaldo. Nowadays it's like a prerequisite to win the champions league or WC to win Ballon' dor
@@TopGun-y4pback in those days it wasn’t as much about the stats or what you’d win it was mainly just the eye test.
@@Izthishandleavailable true but I think they were blind to use an eye test 😂 Beckham deserved it. No beckham would've been no treble.
@@TopGun-y4p yeah. Rivaldo was awesome at that time tho. And Del piero was. So was R9 & France had only a year ago won the World Cup with Zidane being a massive reason for that.
Anyone who says football is better or harder now is deluded!
Another excellent episode, Beckham as usual, very charismatic; it was great going down memory lane! With respect to Zidane, I always looked at Cantona and Zidane in the same light - they both had an aura about them! They knew they were the center of attention and rode it with as much spotlight on them as possible! Where do you go from the guests of Ronaldo and Beckham? only time will tell! Looking forward to the next episode!
I love beckam , i used to use him in every time in fifa pro evolution to shoot free kicks , penalties and corners time passes so fast
Great intervieuw of Beckham true, honest and humble...but what I see the most in both.. Beckham and Rio, is the willingness to learn. Learn from the misstakes, but also learn from people who are smarter. Thanks for this insight...!!!!
Absolutely
Rio Ferdinand has not changed in appearance. He still looks 30s 😂 good genes! ❤
Nah dude I was thinking the exact opposite. He looks really old.
Looks his age
One of tbe greatest ever player of all time. One of the best No7 in football history. Becks was one of my football guru. And Rio, you are superb brother. Thanks. Both Legends !
Most underrated 7
Not really
How?
Underrated? He popularized no. 7
He's not underrated. For your record. He built the shirt for CR7
???????!!!!!!
I named my dog Beckham. I am a Saints fan and my hero growing up was Letissier... however, the reason I named my dog Beckham and Not LeTiss, is cause everytime Becks was on the pitch either for Man Utd or England; he made stuff happen, he was relentless. He pressed, ran and then on top of it all, his right foot was majic and I think he was the best crosser of a ball in world football history; plus that free kick!
Players like Messi Ronaldo and past legends like Pele and Diego I believe are a gift from God, There just built different especially mentally, look at how long Messi and Ronaldo have been playing at the highest level they still train better than anyone and never let their standards drop as soon as they notice their standard dropping that's when they'll walk away, Have to admire there devotion and love of the game...
The world cup pepsi advert with Becks, zidane, raul is iconic..can see it in my head now. Childhood memories that will never leave me
Finally after waiting for years love the legend on and off the field since young
I was ousted from school emulating his hair cut, started dressing like him, loved football because of him, now started cleaning kitchen spotless middle of the night after watching Netflix series. You have a big positive effect on people Beckham. Keep the good work giving inducement to people like us 😊
It’s funny that people actually believe Messi doesn’t work hard or do lot of trainings. It’s the narrative that media created to bring the GOAT debate to make someone relevant. He doesn’t post his workout (like someone does) on social media doesn’t mean he doesn’t do it. He didn’t simply become GOAT with just his natural talent.
that is true. Messi also did most probabaly work very hard. Maybe, not as hard as CR7.
He admitted that hates running and work in the gym
He works on dribbling,passes,freekicks,ball control etc etc..@@darwingrodas8493
@@darwingrodas8493 I hate going to work, but I go there everyday.
@@darwingrodas8493 He does not like to run without a ball and without a purpose (just running like fools) that's what he said.
That treble season redemption arc after WC 98....absolutely brilliant. Him, along with Yorke, were our best players that season
Yorke was fantastic that season. ALWAYS in the right place.
@@NI-ld2iu Keane was injured in 98. We won nothing. Back fit in 99 trebble! He was the most important player....that position always is.
Love to watch two of my Favourites haveing a chat.Beck's Football IQ was out of this world.He reads the game very well & his passing...just wow!
Never loved him as a footballer but I have to give David credits for being a good person and gentleman
Becks is still so humble after all he's achieved, amazing bloke 👏
Beckham, in his prime, was extremely popular both as a player and personality so I wouldn't consider him "underrated". Football fans underappreciated him probably because he is not all-rounded (ie: can't take players on with fancy skills, don't do aerial challenges, seldom go into tackle to win possession, etc). His best ability was crossing the ball and he does it with distinction, possibly the best ever. And crossing is perhaps an underrated skill of the game because this is the final-ball and simply results in goals. Beating 2 players at the wing without the right pass does not result in a goal. Beckham's game can turn good strikers into golden boot winners.
What an interview man. I think that one of his best moments was when SAF gave him the captain's armband. Shortly after that red in the World Cup. The way he accepted the role and led the club and country. Forget all the other stuff but seeing that unfold was beautiful.
Becks in his worst game worked his socks off. A true athlete and a fabulous player.
When he doesn't "show up" he works super hard all over the pitch.
Great talk. Loved the flow and the calmness. Quite motivating too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Let's not get it twisted...away from his Hollywood persona...Becks is one of the best footballers this country has ever produced. His technique is second to none. His work rate was incredible, he was top leader. Watch back the 99 final and that guy was the engine of the team. I'm a Leeds fan it was fun to dislike Becks as a kid. But objectively we all loved him and knew how good he was for the English game.
I got goosebumps watching this interview. Becks is the reason I’m a ManUtd fan ❤
We really was spoilt in the 2000s late 90s, becks, gerrard, lampard, scholes, r9, zidane, figo, henry, viera, cafu, ronaldinho, adriano, tottie, vieri, del piero, pirlo, seedorf the list goes on what a time to grow up watching football
You have missed a United legend but as we were spoilt ill let you off 😂😂 can’t forget Ryan Giggs
What a truly inspiring interview!!!. Beckham is an amazing human being. What a legend.
Most people think that only CR trains hard, but Messi wouldn't be at this world class level without constant hard training. He just doesn't brag about it all the time or feel the need to show it all over social media. He's a shy and humble guy who doesn't NEED praise for the things he does. Messi is an authentic, hard working, insanely talented person.
I think they do different type of training though. CR7 does more gym work than Messi, but I wouldn't be surprised if Messi actually spends more time on the grass shooting the ball. And as you said, Messi doesn't publish much stuff on social media. In fact he seems to post his wife and kids more than anything.
Exactly!!! Messi doesn't need to remind the world that he works hard. There's no way in hell he would be able to play like he does with the demand of modern football at 37 years old without complete dedication
@awfan221 actually i think it's actually the opposite. Messi drives with the ball, acceleration and deacceleration, has to break off challenges and defenders riding him n trying to cut his legs off. His core and legs have to be insanely strong. Where as his technical ability his magic wand of a left leg will always be accurate
CR7 train so hard to look good, 6packs, good shape etc etc.. Messi is train so hard to win football
That's bull crap... People behave played with him in his club and they have never testified of his hard work. He does face time and not train so hard so don't come and say CR7 is bragging.. The people that speak about this of him are his colleagues.. Let CR7 breathe
Legend of the game! Thank you for these amazing interviews Rio, it's a pure joy watching them.
What a legend, what a player, grew up in his era, still yet to see a better passer, his accuracy and technique was off the charts, his work rate was phenomenal and he deserves alot more credit as player, he's also too good looking ❤
that generation as a whole were levels above the players you see today. they had that masculine energy as players. today it feels like watching boys play. players that played upto the late 90's era and the ones to maybe started just after that such as cr7 and messi are the last of it. those players equalivelent of an ipad was a football. kids are growing up with way too much enetertainment distractions today. Football is becoming more athletic and less skill.
@@AR-q8z agree the game is getting worse unfortunately, no real quality anymore like you say just athletes mainly except the few top players.
What a brilliant interview. Two legends of the game sharing their experiences and fantastic camaraderie. Thank you Rio, keep them coming:)
Stars on board ✈️✨ Share with us your best ⚽️ memories of Rio or Beckham👇
Well Qatar Airways I like when they say down on a podcast 🙏
🤢🤢🤮
Give a me a free ticket 😂
Just tell me where do you find all this unprofessional air stewardess now a days, I’ve left with no option anyway as you are connecting my usual route with minimum layover
I watched inter Miami because of MESSI but now I watched them even without Messi and I love them ❤🎉
I bet Ste is gutted you've gone and done this without him 😂
Rio Reacts With Ste tomorrow!
@@rioferdinandpresentsRIO he cant take the banter he blocked me 😂😂😂😂
Wow! Rio I do follow your interview
Big up Becks what a player and massive character 🫶👍👍
Icon!
Как ПСЖ мог свистеть в адрес Месси, это уму не поддаётся... Лео пришел в МЛС и выйграл чемпионат и стал лучшим бомбардиром клуба. Тот же Роналду пришёл в сильную команду и упал в таблице. Лео находится в свои 37 в сумашедшей форме, мог бы играть в любом топ клубе Европы. Будущий обладатель золотого мяча кто бы там не был выглядит смешным глядя на статистику по сравнению с 37 -им Месси, а то что он творил на ЧМ это абсообтная фантастика, таких перфомансов в истории у пару-тройку игроков на мой взгляд(Марадона, R9 , Зидан)
Remember him at Ibrox when he was at Milan in a pre-season friendly. He was magnificent. He was unreal with the fans too.
Been supporting Utd since 89... Gutted when Becks left in 2003... Most underrated player... A genius on the right wing. The way he moved his body when passing the ball and on free kicks. Just iconic.
but you got lucky and leveled up right after.
99 corner final. Becks made both
@@doransooryalall8803 yep. but Ronaldo turned United in another level when he left.
They never played together. Becks was the guy when I grew up in the 90s. That goal against Wimbledon in 95 was just mad. CR7 ended the GOAT. Take nothing from Beck's man. A Utd Legend
@@doransooryalall8803 obviously not. the response was you being “gutted.” becks was always a fav of mine and he deserves more praise for his work ethic and mentality alone.
David was the player who made me to watch football and fall in love with United, an absolute legend on and off the pitch, what a great gentleman...
I would’ve liked to have heard Becks’s thoughts on ETH and the current United squad. I appreciate he may not want to have commented to avoid putting further pressure on the manager and squad but it would’ve been good to hear.
Me: Watching this as a goalkeeper to learn and get inspired.
Rio: 'Goalkeepers are not really footballers, are they?'
Beckham: 'No, not at all.'
Also me: Packing my gloves and heading out to prove you both wrong 😤😂
He was the best free kick taker at Utd. Also, scored some wonderful goals
I’m not a Utd fan but I have this feeling that Becks and Rio and the rest of the squad had this unbelievable desire and hunger that drove them to the top for so many years. To hear them talk about their passion even though they have retired from the game it should inspire future generations forever.
Two legends!
2 outstanding players, brilliant human beings and talk great football.
DB's energy is that of success. He's an incredible human being who humbly goes about his life. I love how family oriented he is too. Him and Victoria are inspirational.
Hello from Greece Becks. First time i saw you as a child against Olympiacos in Athens. You were an incredible player and your right foot passing accuracy was mind blowing. Also the best in history for me.
There's only ONE DAVID BECKHAM!
Super chat Rio!!! Never heard David go into so many aspects of his life/career. It was enlightening and inspiring too!
Great incisive questions!!! ❤
This weekend we are having the Manchester Alumni Association in Seoul World Cup Stadium :)
Tevez Rio Vida Berba and Ji(and May be evra)
Rio is looking forward to flying this evening!
@@rioferdinandpresentsYes, Uncle Rio have a good trip n Plz make some video with ManUTD Friends 😊
So good reminding everyone what a great footballer David was 👍 there's a reason there is a film called 'Bend it like Beckham ' 🎉
I called this a long time ago, I said the player that plays most similar to Beckham in todays football is Trent, he’s like a Beckham regen.
Both have got that insane ability to deliver a cross in no matter where they are on the pitch, both are incredible at free kicks. Neither of them defend and neither of them try to take players on.
I even said the rumours of Trent going to Real Madrid next season would be incredible, if he’s not allowed to wear No66, he should take Beckham’s No23 for Real Madrid.
All the times people mocked me for saying it, now the man himself has said it!
Clear as day Trent is the closest thing we have to Beckham in modern day football.
He can cross the ball in a similar fashion to Becks but as an all round player Trent isn't on his level
@@thrilla72 There’s not much difference between them. I literally idolised David Beckham when I was younger, I’m fully aware of how he played and that’s why I instantly recognised that Trent is the player who plays most similar to him.
A very poor Beckham
@@marvellousdazza2836 If you watched David Beckham you'd appreciate that he was able to control the midfield on and off the ball. Against the very best, Trent can't even get into midfield
@@thrilla72 Trent's passing ability and vision is elite, it's not limited to crossing. Don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement
Would love to meet David Beckham. Absolute legend
1:06:35 so cringe. Glad Beckham didn't react to it.
He was one of the trendsetters. The pacesetters
From a gooner
And Rio 2 things ive been told my whole life im your lookalike from 9 years old till now at 38 😂 1000s of times
Secondly on a big man level you were one of my idols growing up i wanted to defend like you! Hope you see this would be wicked
Being able to watch all the icons of my era talk like this on podcasts blows my mind its like being with your pals catching up ! The worlds changed so much !
You lads played when it was still the proper gritty game.
I was telling a 18 y.o only yday i grew up on zidanes, robertos, ronaldos, becks, rios and he looked at me like i was about 80 😂😂😂😮😂😂 he said i only know of them because of fifa 😂
Diff world now !
Give him his knighthood already... SIR David Beckham
Well overdue.
Wonderful interview, Rio, always appreciate the respect you voice for Gary as well, someone needs to make sure we remember how solid of a player he was. 🍻
