What a baller Schweinsteiger was. I remember watching him at the 2006 WC and the 2008 Euros as a winger with a lot of flair. Then he fully transitioned to a box-to-box midfielder at the 2010 WC who ran the midfield. One of my favourite players ever.

He never had flair... He was a classic hard running winger with quality.

Even though he didn't play at his peak when he joined United, always loved seeing him play at Old Trafford 🙌🏽❤️ legend

I saved up my entire adult life to go from Chicago to Old Trafford to see United play at the theater of dreams. Bastian was playing there. He then gets traded to the Chicago fire a few games after I saw him play for United but I had season tickets for the fire so I got to see him again and much closer. What a silky touch and the biggest calves I've ever seen in my life

Big respect to Basti. Came to United at a difficult period in our history and unfortunately probably wasn’t up to the usual standard he played at. But a top class professional nonetheless. A football legend. Shoutout to Rio as usual

"Difficult period". So are they always in this period for the last 15 years? Overrated trash club

One of the greatest, most underrated players ever and one of my top 3 all time favorites. I've never seen a Midfield General with so much style and swagger. He would recieve the ball under pressure from multiple sides, take out one man with the first touch and then sauce his man up, all at at walking pace. He could literally do everything on the pitch except clone himself

Bastian , for me he was my favourite player at Bayern during his peak. What a classy strong powerful player. Playing on the wing, then evolved into an energetic box-to-box player. Even when he came to United towards the last few years of his career, his presence in the squad was still awe to watch. A legend of the game. That competitive and classy elegance, he’s a gem for German football. Great to see Rio and Basti together side by side. 👏🙌

Basti I doubt you will ever see this but I must say as an American you are the reason I got into football. I will never forget watching the 2010 WC and not knowing a thing but I understood the game instantly by watching you. You will forever be my favorite player and have my infinite gratitude for getting me into football. Der Fussballgott!!!

He was a really top level player. Incredible career and seems like a good guy.

Absolutely loved Schweinsteiger. Loved him at Bayern and as a United fan i was so happy when he came but shame it was so late in his career. Absolute machine of a midfielder. Shweiny ♥️

BASTIAN!!! What a baller 🔥🔥🔥

This rio guy is a class apart.....top guest's, fantastic backgrounds, supreme banter....best soccer cast around.

Rio is fast becoming my personal goat. I read his autobiography as a kid and was always impressed. Glad he’s bringing the game closer to us fans.

My favorite German player. Remember him playing more on the wing in the 2006 World Cup, then the way he developed into a world class Central Midfielder. He had it all from long and short passing, tackling, interceptions, and a leader. Still remember his Man of the Match performance in the World Cup against Argentina. Wish United had signed him a few years before 2015.

my favorite ever german legend and one of the best midfielders of all time and one of the most complete and not talked about nearly enough , was lucky enough to also see him in a united shirt even though he wasn't the same player ofc , Basti the fussballgott ♥️ big up from 🇿🇦

You were sleeping in peace and then the German came and woke you up. Pure ww2 vibes. 😂

I remember bastian so much for his long range bangers for germany. The ball just blazes through keepers and the commentators go crazy

It's amazing how old rivals and players can meet up and talk football for fun and make us the viewers so happy in watching them. Thanks Rio and all the best to Bastian.

Such a humble guy he is

Great interaction between two legends 😌 Respect 🤝

This is a great watch and a great guest, big props to Rio for these vids man, was a joy to watch

Deadly player both him and Podolski kept me on the edge of my seat. That German team in 06 was incredible.

When talking about Basti and World Cups, one of his top top performances was when Germany beat Portugal for the 3rd place playoff in the 2006 World Cup. What a game it was. Nostalgic!

Great video production, hope to see more! It is mesmerizing! Bastian reckoned with my heart

This was a great watch! Keep em coming Rio!

My man Rio going all in for World Cup content. Great stuff!

Banging videos coming out through this World Cup 👏🏻

one of the best football interviews ever...a great insight into the stars of our game...

Schweinstieger is a legend. One of very few midfielders who you can watch them play and clearly see is his team’s most valuable player.

Love those Interviews where it actually turns into a Conversation. Top Tier.

Quality content. Great video. 2 Legends.

My favourite German player of my generation. The fact I got to see him play for my team, MUFC, was great. Awesome player.

A nice humble guy and a fantastic footballer

I could listen to Bastian talk about football all day.

Just two legends talking about football. Amazing ❤

Bro the content is just epic. Five is absolutely running the game 🔥

Love the way Rio gives us access to legends like Schweinsteiger.

Amazing Interview. Love you guys. Two Amazing Footballers. Legends :-)

Damn, really, really enjoyed this. Priceless insights. MORE PLEASE!! 😁

I truly enjoyed this short and nice conversation.

Please bring Bastian back during the season, or to speak on international football matters. A joy to listen to

Bastie is a legend man!!!! thanks for the content!!!

Luv this guy. Unfortunate tenure during United but still a legend.

Great video. Quality recognises quality. Love it..

Even though I'm a United fan Bastian is one of my all-time favorites. I was absolutely ecstatic when he signed for MU and even though it didn't go how I wanted (Captaincy, coaching) I cherished every kick he made in Red. We will always have that goal against Watford

Basti was my first favorite player. He was so versatile and could play anywhere in midfield but his touches, vision and passes were just immense.

Awesome. This underrated and lesser known German attacker is a big reason for their deep 2010 run and the 2014 WC.

man like Basti!!! legend of the game! but also cant forget the ultimate professional. philip lahm! they had great chemistry between the two

Few players that no one hates, basti is one of them & a legend

Deutscher Fußballmeister - BASTIANNNNNN

Phenomenal midfield player 🔥🔥🔥

What an absolutely class gent Schweinsteiger is. Great to hear him talk about all of this.

Best interview ever

I wish we had him in his prime at United. Bastian loves football, Bayern and United. Love the typical English v German banter too. Absolute legend.

Wish Seb came ro United when he was younger, loved watching him play true Legend of the game 🔥🔥🔥

I love this man, classy on and off the pitch.

This guy was an actual Boss in the middle of the park , very high iQ player .

Love Bastian, easily one of the best ever in his position & a true gentleman on & off the pitch.

One of my favorite players. Was very happy he got to play for United.

Keep them coming!

this was great an awesome interview! I wish you wouldve asked him who he thought was MOST UNDERRATED I feel like we get many of the same names cause ofcourse they are great players but would like to hear a different side of it cheers!

Quality interview

I still go back to watch Schweinstwigrs highlights what a midfielder he became

Wow, Bastian is my type of guy, i could literally grab beers with this guy, i love these types if talks

Best football legends conversation, period, no discussion.

pure footballer. amazing player schweisnteiger.

Bastian Schweinsteiger was one of the best ever midfielders to have come out of Germany. His ferocious shooting power, vison and overall footballing IQ was exceptional.

Both are Legends👍🔥 Greetings from Germany

Love it how Basti names a few of his mates as the one who are hard to play against.

If we only had signed him whe he was four years younger. What a player.

2 great legends of the game. Would give blood and sweat for their teams. 🤩🤩🤩

Rio Ferdinand is quite an imposing figure, such a beast. Schweinsteiger is a national hero, there is absolutely no doubt. I hope we can rediscover some of our values as a German National Team and put our hearts and souls on the pitch. We got some good players, they now need to form a unit for the upcoming European Cup.

With Ribery he's still my favourite player. At his peak he was one of the best midfielders EVER but as he's german he never get the credit he actually deserved. He absolutely DESTROYED England's Midfield with Gerrard and Lampard. Absolute Legend.

Why so short. Buy some beers/coffee/meal whatever, GoPros recording for 2hrs, give it to someone to edit. Another amazing player. Love it

Complete contrast in his personality to his playstyle. What a lovely and engaging man.

A legendary 6. Loved it when he signed for Man Utd. Great to see him looking well. Deutchland uber alle Basti

Beautiful player

I could listen legends of the game talk about the game forever

One of my all time favourite players! Such a shame he came to United during a bad patch Genuinely seems like a great person

Go for a long walk on the beach I could listen to these two legend’s all day

Nice interview Rio 👊🏻👊🏻

Not a big fan of German football, but Bastian is a player who should always get the utmost respect. A true gentleman on the pitch and off the pitch. His football intelligence was impeccable. Such a goat.

what a humble football legend.

I love Basti he is my second favorite player of all time after Michael Ballack, he was amazing, we miss him so much in the national team and at Bayern

My first favourite player , watching him shoot from long range in 2006 wc made me a fan vs Portugal

What a great chat

Good to see you in good health, Basti.

class guys

What a player he was in his prime 👏🏽

Always appreciated his love for man utd. Glad he got a chance to play for united.

That 12 minutes went by in no time

Bastian was football beast…A well-rounded player at his peak…Absolute monster…

What a nice guy.

Nice chat, Bastian was a monster player.

He stopped Messi in 2014 WC Final. He is the reason why Germany won WC in 2014. Defence was Controlled by Lahm. Attack Controlled by Ozil and connecting them was the Midfield controlled by Schweinsteiger and Guarded by Sami Khedira.
