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❤
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 UA-cam, 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 ⚽🐐👑
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.
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 🥳🙏
@@dariolivaja978 a simple google check on google images will show you plenty of pictures of them playing together. I saw them both play for the same club ( ac milan) so I think I should know lol
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! 💯 🐐
@@rioferdinandpresents- reckon you could still do a job at United?? The team needs BIG characters like yourself with a winning mentality 👊🏻 Would you partner Martinez, Maguire or De Ligt?? (Or neither) 😂
Regardless of how well Trent excels at free kicks, long range passes, or any other aspect of his game now, he simply doesn't on Becks level at his prime. There's no denying that, because Becks is truly one of a kind.. There is only one David Beckham
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.
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam hahahaha eh mo invita Messi è un peccato che parla troppo per ossessione oppure invidia calcistica 🐪😭🐐🇦🇷😂
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 .
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
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.
David beckham was the reason why i fell in love with football in the late 90s when i was 10. Devastated when he left utd it felt like the world was ending lol. For me he is the GOAT because of the way he played and and I have said this for the last 25 years. Thanks Rio for getting all these greats. We need someone to interview you on your career and life!! Make it happen on here pls
When David speaks about Gary there is always a smile on his face-such a great friendship.Jude and Trent are similar to them today.I watched the whole interview with big smile,love your work❤,all the best!
As a longtime utd fan from Dublin Beck's has to be one of England's most underated players, Should have won fifa player of the year the treble season the way he played after 98 WC and that right foot yet to be matched he'd put the ball on a sixpence and also how he embraced the iconic number 7 jersey.. , His temperament had to be admired 👌👌👌🇮🇪
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.
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 !
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
@@dyl5609 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.
I've always loved the respect between Becks and Keane. Both winners, both grafters. It says a lot that he was the only United player chosen in his 5 a side team.
you have to respect david bekhams dedication. his drive as a player is the same as even when trying to perfect a simple omlette. Also very smart as u have to keep making the something many times to master it. no wonder he was great at free kicks
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.
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)
I was very fortunate to see Becks live and speak to the guy. The talent and professionalism from this guy were on another level, and I would definitely put him down as one of the legends to play the 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
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.
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...
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...!!!!
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!
This was enjoyable from start to finish man, had a huge smile on my face the whole time Rio! Great interview, just flowed, effortless, like 2 old mates catching up. Love it
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 😊
One of the most cool humans on earth who is just enjoying all the rewards for his years and years of nonstop hard work. So deserved! This was a banger And as an American who is 22 who grew up with absolutely 0 opportunities in this game, but I now have a 2 year old (on the 26th) and a 5 month old both boys. Thank you for everything you've done for this game. They will be coming through I promise yall that!!
That's why he makes all the inter Miami players so good cause he teaches and shows the work at the same time and that's mesi, busy making his team mate to be on top of the world working hard
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! 🙌
I love how Beckham never says Sir Alex. Its always The Boss. That is the ultimate sign of respect. Beckham was a phenominal football player who is so underrated its actually criminal.
As a man who's always loved R9. To hear what he was like behind the scenes has made me love him even more. It's crazy how we are unknowingly drawn to those people that we are most like. Great show Rio
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.
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.
Smashed it as :- Player Father Husband Person. Legend what a player to have in your team! Wasn't the most gifted (by a long shot) but his crossing, passing,free kicks, engine, determination, attitude and status make up for that for me!? 👌👍🙏
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.
In todays game , is there a david becham , figo , rivaldo type player ? The games changed so much . Id take the 90s early 2000s every day of the week , twice on a Sunday. Look back , you had players like cafu, carlos , football italia ✌️🏴
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.
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. 🍻
One of my first football shirt, it´s a Beckham 23 from Real Madrid. I think in 2006. He is just a LEGEND of this game. and if one day the MLS turns into one of the greatest leagues in the world, he´s gonna be the main reason for that to happen
Imagine Becks playing in this era,he would’ve been the most fallowed and the most famous individual living which i still believe he is up there. I remember me paying a magazines and newspapers just to read the Becks part. He was and still my favorite player him,Jordan and Ali were my heroes.
Wish i put a tenner on Messi joining inter Miami years ago.. no lie..people said he would go to city because of pep...the draw of Beckham and Miami at the end of a amazing career is anybody's dream
First of all Great Podcast, Big up to you, and your team for a job well done. Beckham A legend of the game. I Think Rio You Should Get Us R9. Much Love From The Mother Land
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

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.

I've always loved the respect between Becks and Keane. Both winners, both grafters. It says a lot that he was the only United player chosen in his 5 a side team.
you have to respect david bekhams dedication. his drive as a player is the same as even when trying to perfect a simple omlette. Also very smart as u have to keep making the something many times to master it. no wonder he was great at free kicks
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.
My #1 icon and childhood hero. I’m over 30 and I literally feel the same feelings as I did 20 years ago. BECKS BECKS BECKS ❤❤❤
Bring Messi @Rio Ferdinand That would be the GREATEST Interview ever!
how?
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
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)
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
Отлично! Спасибо Дэвиду и Рио👋💯
I was very fortunate to see Becks live and speak to the guy. The talent and professionalism from this guy were on another level, and I would definitely put him down as one of the legends to play the game,
2 outstanding players, brilliant human beings and talk great football.
One of the most respectful ex footballers on this planet i know...a family man in and out ...A very humble human being ....David Beckham 🙏🙏
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
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
What a humble guy I love him the way he talk how appreciate the competition. I just love him.❤
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.
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...
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
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
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!
This was enjoyable from start to finish man, had a huge smile on my face the whole time Rio! Great interview, just flowed, effortless, like 2 old mates catching up. Love it
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 😊
I could listen to David all day. Such a smart boy.
(Mrs Beckham) 😊
America should be thankful to David Beckham.
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.
One of the most cool humans on earth who is just enjoying all the rewards for his years and years of nonstop hard work. So deserved! This was a banger
And as an American who is 22 who grew up with absolutely 0 opportunities in this game, but I now have a 2 year old (on the 26th) and a 5 month old both boys. Thank you for everything you've done for this game. They will be coming through I promise yall that!!
Finally after waiting for years love the legend on and off the field since young
That's why he makes all the inter Miami players so good cause he teaches and shows the work at the same time and that's mesi, busy making his team mate to be on top of the world working hard
I watched inter Miami because of MESSI but now I watched them even without Messi and I love them ❤🎉
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!!
Big up Becks what a player and massive character 🫶👍👍
Icon!
Awesome. Rio, it was such a great interview. Much love from Uganda
I love how Beckham never says Sir Alex. Its always The Boss. That is the ultimate sign of respect.
Beckham was a phenominal football player who is so underrated its actually criminal.
Ronaldo " interview"? It was 1 min PR dear Rio.1 hour Beckham ..This is a real interview
As a man who's always loved R9. To hear what he was like behind the scenes has made me love him even more. It's crazy how we are unknowingly drawn to those people that we are most like. Great show Rio
Becks is having a bigger impact on the game post retirement and that needs to be highlighted
Never loved him as a footballer but I have to give David credits for being a good person and gentleman
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.
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.
Smashed it as :-
Player
Father
Husband
Person.
Legend what a player to have in your team! Wasn't the most gifted (by a long shot) but his crossing, passing,free kicks, engine, determination, attitude and status make up for that for me!? 👌👍🙏
He was the best free kick taker at Utd. Also, scored some wonderful goals
I got goosebumps watching this interview. Becks is the reason I’m a ManUtd fan ❤
R9 makes me feel inspired even I'm 20 years old because I just tryin to do whatever he did on the pitch ❤
Started watching football with Beckham in the early 90’s and ended after Messi left Barcelona !
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.
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.
This guy was always dangerous with those split passes, free kicks oh man‼️ marvelous ❤❤ crosses would turn defenders into average players 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾
In todays game , is there a david becham , figo , rivaldo type player ? The games changed so much . Id take the 90s early 2000s every day of the week , twice on a Sunday. Look back , you had players like cafu, carlos , football italia ✌️🏴
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.
Forget about Ronaldo, the real number 7, was David Beckham ❤
I loved Beckham that much I named my first child brooklyn after his first child. What a player, n a gentleman
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.
Legend of the game! Thank you for these amazing interviews Rio, it's a pure joy watching them.
Messi class act 👏🏻👏🏻
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. 🍻
One of my first football shirt, it´s a Beckham 23 from Real Madrid. I think in 2006. He is just a LEGEND of this game. and if one day the MLS turns into one of the greatest leagues in the world, he´s gonna be the main reason for that to happen
Great talk. Loved the flow and the calmness. Quite motivating too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
he was such a magnificent player and an even better human being. thank you Becks! all my respect to you !
Imagine Becks playing in this era,he would’ve been the most fallowed and the most famous individual living which i still believe he is up there. I remember me paying a magazines and newspapers just to read the Becks part. He was and still my favorite player him,Jordan and Ali were my heroes.
I love the way your presentation flows with the questions respect Rio
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!
Great interview!! Insightful questions & generous deliverance by David in his answers.
Wish i put a tenner on Messi joining inter Miami years ago.. no lie..people said he would go to city because of pep...the draw of Beckham and Miami at the end of a amazing career is anybody's dream
43:59 "It's not about bringing a biggest and best players, it's about bringing a right players."
Well said.
That was brilliant thanks to both of you for letting us into your world 😊
Our pleasure!
First of all Great Podcast, Big up to you, and your team for a job well done. Beckham A legend of the game. I Think Rio You Should Get Us R9. Much Love From The Mother Land
