Welcome back to Rio Presents! Rio Ferdinand is joined by Joel Beya and Ste Howson who get stuck into Onana’s Man Utd transfer to Turkey along with the talking points from England’s latest match under Thomas Tuchel.
One of those is the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold so Rio analyses why international managers prefer picking Chelsea’s Reece James. There’s a discussion around the value of games against the likes of Andorra as Rio says there’s no concerns about England’s performances at this stage of the buildup to the World Cup.
Rio reveals who he thinks will take on Kyle Walker’s mantle of the best 1v1 defender and praises Daniel Levy’s tenure at Spurs and discusses the difference in mentality shown by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to their desire to play in the World Cup for their respective nations.
