Rio Ferdinand Gives Praise To Messi For 10 Minutes! 

Great compilation. I love how Ferdinand describes his experiences of playing against Messi and how he admires him

Rio you’re not just a excellent football player, you are a excellent sportsman to, Messi is a present from God to enjoy this beautiful game, 🙏😍❤️👍🇦🇺

Messi's haters becoming his fans is the most satisfying sight ever.

Yea ferdinand is a great guy and quite honest in all his analysis. Love him

How can you hate messi even his haters are turning into his fans what a legend ❤️

Ferdinand was right all along. He knew better.

Those who saw Messi, especially when Pep trained Barca, will have to deal with the fact that they have to explain it to a generation that has not seen Messi play. It reminds me of my father, born in 1960, who told me about Diego and how good he was. Of course, for me it was all very abstract and I just had to take his word. Luckily there are a few highlight reels of him, but beside the WC-final in 1990 and one or two games in 1994 WC in the US I didnt see anything of him at all. He was bleak in the 1990 final and probably past his prime in 1994. The reels point to where you may grasp how good he was, but in the grand picture it didn't help me at all. I think Rio finds wonderful words. He had no shame in admitting defeat and destruction, because he and they gave all they had and I think that is exactly what let him look in the mirror and say what's fact. I will only say, that Peps Barca was a time ( and the only time in my life), when the playing schedule of a football team affected my personal life. It was not enough to see a highlight video of a game, I wanted the full program. As stupid as it may sound, when they played I had no time for no one and I don't regret it. Thats how good that team was and it converged with Messi at the absolute peak of his powers. Back in the days you just knew Cristiano would score, but you could never anticipate with what Barca and Messi would come up with. It was like a mystery egg, every game a mystery egg with more often than not an incredible surprise. What we see in highlight videos here on RU-vid, IMHO it captures not even half of what was going on and what actually happened. We don't see a lot of the plays, because we have so much material that ended successful, that there's no need to dig out the scenes that weren't successful. But the greatness lies there, there in the realm that statistics are unable to measure. So, I'm glad we have testimonials from players like Rio to capture and comprehend the greatness that has been unfoldeding - especially in the Pep-era.

Get a room Rio ffs! No, I'm joking, Rio was and is quality imo. I never thought I'd see a better player than Maradona, but Messi changed my mind....I think! Maradona was unreal for maybe 10 years. Messi has been unreal for 15, and counting. I could go on about both for days...Argentina are lucky to have both.

This is happened When MU was a king in premier league.. Crazy.. But unlucky, they're facing The rising of Messi and became Monster era.. Other club' just lucky doesnt meet this Messi n Barca version 💯

coming from a guy that played with ronaldo

*MESSI IS THE GOD OF FOOTBALL*

Der einzige, aber auch wirklich einzige Grund warum Barcelona zu der Zeit nicht mindestens 5 mal in folge die Champions League gewonnen hat, ist weil nur Manchester United versucht hat spielerisch dagegen zu halten. Das ist auch der Grund warum die so zerschellt sind und deshalb habe ich einen riesen respekt vor diesem Club. Teams wie Chelsea oder Inter Mailand kamen gegen dieses Barca nur weiter weil Sie wie Ratten feige und schmutzig gespielt haben.

And still a lot of people doubting he would do well in the Premier League 😆

Great video man

3:30 is the most. Because it's all about clarity. In any discipline. I've personally felt it myself a few times (playing drums or writing words or having sex and whatnot) where you're so focused on the task at hand that instinct takes over to devastating/wonderful effect. The difference between Messi (and other great artists/athletes) and we mere mortals? Those mere moments, which the rest of us enjoy from time to time, become naturally recurring events, with compounding interest, within the spirits of extraordinary people like Lionel Messi.

Messi is different to Ronaldo thats why Manc defenders couldn't figure him out.

i love it keep it coming

Ferdinand was in the Man Utd side that beat Barcelona in 2008

Your sooo right 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

They actually played 4 times in champions league

He played him more than twice. You just said he played him "twice in ChampionsLeague matches" you meant twice in ChampionsLeague finals. Rio beat him in 2008 semi-finals with 2 clean sheets out of 2 that season.

Weird how Rio Ferdinand pronounces the letter H wrong at 3:50 putting an unwanted huh sound at the start when it's spelled Aitch. But then in the very next clip he pronounces it correctly when saying "GBH". Usually someone either always says it right "Aitch" or they always say it wrong "Haitch".

Didn‘t Ferdinand play in the 07/08 CL Semi finals against Barcelona?

Rio knows ball

GOD disguised to play football.....this was bound to happen!

"Rio Ferdinand betrayed me"

I've never seen any Spanish speaking players who talk about Messi like this. If there are please let me know

Good Video bro but you dont need to talk like women
