Ferdinand: The one I want to interview most is Messi, he is so good but we don’t know him

Recently, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand talked about his podcast "Rio Meets". He said that Ronaldo jokingly calls himself a "journalist" and the people he most wants to interview are Messi and Zidane.

Ferdinand hopes that "Meet Leo" will become a "safe space" where guests can "control their own narratives." He even gave up his mainstream commentator job for TNT Sports in order to focus on his podcast.

He said: "There's so much media now, more than ever, and a lot of people don't really understand the situation when it comes to talking about football. That's okay, but I know the frustration as a player when the stories being told about you aren't true. In this Here, you can tell your own story."

Ferdinand and his team will spend several days preparing and studying each episode: "What's interesting is that Ronaldo now calls me a reporter. He sent me a message saying that he can't be in the Manchester United WhatsApp group now. Said too much because Leo was there. Leo, that ‘journalist’! "

When talking about who his dream interview target is in the future, Ferdinand said: "Messi, I am going through various channels and even contacted Beckham. He's such a good player, but we don't know much about him. "

"I hope he can contact Messi and let us know the true face of this king from behind the scenes. Zidane is also such a person, they are mysterious figures, I really wish I could talk to Zidane too. "
