Present at the Parc des Princes this Tuesday to deliver his analysis to TNT Sports on the meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle, which resulted in a draw (1-1), Rio Ferdinand suddenly disappeared. The English defender, former glory of Manchester United, was nevertheless on the air before the meeting. But he left the live broadcast during the meeting, which raised questions among spectators.
The presenter, Lara Woods, was however slightly reassuring by justifying her absence. “We had to let him go due to unforeseen circumstances. He’s fine, don’t worry,” she said. Rio Ferdinand did not return, however, being replaced by former Scotland striker Ally McCoist.
According to le Daily Mail, it was a feeling of unease that would have caused this hasty departure. Nothing serious, however, since the Englishman returned to his hotel to rest before taking a plane this Wednesday morning to Istanbul, where he will attend the meeting between Galatasaray and his beloved Manchester United. The match, very important with a view to qualifying for the round of 16 for the Mancunians, is scheduled for 6:45 p.m.
Sitting on a cart at the airport, he appeared smiling in the company of journalist Darren Fletcher. “Don’t panic friends… I’m alive and damn ready for the evening in Istanbul” he notably indicated on social networks.
Retired since 2015 and a final season at Queens Park Rangers, Rio Ferdinand immediately took on this role of consultant on the English channel. He notably comments on the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Europa League. His expertise, his smile and his humor are greatly appreciated by viewers.
