But to make the most of the time spent with the Brazilian captain - Rio finds out so much about Casemiro’s life in Brazil, his hopes for the World Cup and how Carlo Ancelotti became his true friend (and how he still smokes in the dressing room when addressing the Brazilian players). There’s amazing detail about how he played alongside Luka Modric and Toni Kroos in that legendary midfield, their battles against Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets and the reasons Lionel Messi is ‘impossible’ to stop. You’ll hear which Real Madrid player Bruno Fernandes reminds Casemiro of and the similarities of playing under immense pressure at both Real and Manchester United. #MUFC #ManUtd #Casemiro #RioFerdinand #OldTrafford #GGMU #BrunoFernandes #UnitedRevolution #RedDevils #RealMadrid #HalaMadrid #Modric #Kroos #Ancelotti #ChampionsLeague #Bernabeu #TheTriangle #KMCMidfield #Messi #LionelMessi #FCBarcelona #Xavi #Iniesta #Busquets #ElClasico #FootballLegends #Brasil #Selecao #WorldCup #CopaDoMundo #Casemiro5 #BrazilianCaptain #RioMeets #Five #BehindTheScenes #FootballPodcast #SoccerStories #DressingRoomSecrets #FootballDebate Subscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WE Rio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.com Rio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeets Rio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresents Rio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5 Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.co…","meta_description":"Rio picks Casemiro up from the Manchester United training ground to take him to Old Trafford where he’ll discuss his time at the club.
