Why Harry Kane is the World’s BEST Number 9 | How Portugal should manage Ronaldo

الوصف

Rio has landed in Los Angeles and invites Joel and Ste over to his Beverly Hills Airbnb for the first pod in the US where they look ahead to the tournament, analyse the dilemmas facing Thomas Tuchel and pick their favourites to win the World Cup. Rio discusses why he believes Harry Kane is the best striker in the world based on current form, what Bukayo Saka needs to add to his game to be considered on the same level as Vinicius Jr. After spending time with Tuchel, Rio outlines why he “loves” the German and picks out one player left at home that he disagrees with. There’s a big debate around how Portugal’s manager Roberto Martinez should utilise the presence and ability of Cristiano Ronaldo throughout the tournament and Rio picks his “unbeatable” front 4 that he wishes Didier Deschamps would select for France. 📚 Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Beverly Hills 01:53 World Cup Excitement in USA 04:54 Cole Palmer 06:46 Squad Selection Discussion ️ 09:10 Ivan Toney's Unique Skills 12:36 Saka's Form and Injury Status 15:06 Kane's Unique Football Craft ️ 18:26 Player Intelligence & Teamwork 20:52 Ronaldo's Impact on Portugal 22:51 Martinez Manages Ronaldo 25:32 France's Attacking Power 27:33 France Defensive Concerns ️ 29:45 England World Cup Finish 󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 32:15 Young Player of Tournament 34:32 Swimming Lessons from Rio #WorldCup2026 #WorldCup #Beverly Hills #LA #LosAngeles #RioFerdinand #JoelBeya #SteHowson #Five #FootballPodcast #BehindTheScenes #ThomasTuchel #ThreeLions #England #HarryKane #BukayoSaka #ViniciusJr #CristianoRonaldo #RobertoMartinez #Portugal #France #DidierDeschamps #Tactics #StrikerMentality #SoccerStories #ExclusiveInterview 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 Ferd
