Testing EVERY Weird Product that Footballers have Advertised

Yes guys, so today we're back with another video and there's a lot going on in this. I buy and test out the strangest products that footballers have advertised. We test out the ball that apparently can't be knuckled. And I pay two of YouTube's best free kick takers £50 for every goal they can score past me. Let's get into it. One final ball, one free kick, £1,000 for this ball going to the back of the net. So people have been saying it's almost impossible to knuckle Nike's new flight ball. Have they done goalkeepers a massive favour by making a ball that can't be knuckled? Let's find out. So the rumours are because Nike have tried to make the most accurate ball possible it's taken away a lot of the unpredictable movement. I'm personally not a massive fan of this ball. But if these rumours are true, I'm sure the goalkeepers of the world will be very, very happy with it. Honestly, if I can get a shot with no spin, I'll be impressed. I think it's impossible. This ball behaves differently, technically in a good way, but in a bad way because you just can't knuckle ball it. So when comparing it to the other footballs, it was definitely very hard to get any sort of decent movement on it. And Cam's a very good knuckle ball taker. So to be fair, I definitely think this ball can't be knuckled, at least not very well anyway. Honestly, I challenge one of you guys to get that ball and try and knuckle ball it. It's impossible. This is what it looks like to get a curve shot on a knuckle ball at the same time. So it's well known that when a brand are a product needs advertising, they'll often get the help of a celebrity to endorse it. With the aim that their fans will end up buying said product. And footballers being the highly influential people they are are near the top of the list to help promote products. And most of the time, these collaborations make sense. For example, Ronaldo promoting Nike football boots or Messi promoting Gatorade. It's thought that Ronaldo can make over a million pounds from a single Instagram post. But when they're getting paid this much to promote stuff, not every product has to make sense for them to justify it. So I've brought a load of the strangest products that footballers have advertised. And I'm going to be testing them out to see if any of them are actually any good. Let's get into it. So the next product is one that's been endorsed by Ronaldo and probably one of the more famous ones. It's the ad machine. So as you'll come to see, products advertised by Ronaldo are featured quite a lot throughout this video. Basically because it's an advertising machine. But this product is one that many people have seen clips of him photograph with. And I really want to know if it actually works. This thing looks very strange. I do not think for a second that this thing actually works. Maybe, but I just can't see that happening. And surely there's no way Ronaldo actually uses one of these. Started off. Geoflux shocks you. I don't know what's actually happening, but it feels like a little electric shock's going through. Oh, I got an electric shock there. All right, we're going to get to the top. Oh, flipping it. Oh, Christ. It definitely works the abs. It just feels like loads of electric shocks. Flipping it. Surely there's no way Ronaldo actually uses this. This is so painful. This is so... What's going on? Flipping it. That literally just feels like I'm getting loads of electric shocks to my stomach. So this ab machine, it was definitely doing something. As I kept mentioning, it did feel like I was getting shocked. But I feel like surely it's no replacement for just exercising, doing sit-ups and stuff like that. Surely it will give you a better result. So quite a few years ago now, the Man United team won a commercial for tomato juice. I like tomatoes as much as the next person, but I'm not too sure about this. Strange commercial, by the way. There's no way all those players like tomato juice. This is a very, very acquired taste. Now, you might be wondering why I'm moving to a car for this next one. But it will make sense very shortly. Now, this seems like the most random one ever, but this next product is car oil. This product, once again, has been endorsed by Ronaldo. As you can see here, he actually makes more per year from his advertising than his actual salary. That's insane. So yeah, Ronaldo has been advertising Castrol engine oil. I don't really know how to test it, but I'll put some in. I'm just going to take his word for it on this one. So yeah, that was engine oil advertised by Ronaldo. So the next product that I'm going to be looking at is in this bag here. Can you guess what it is? It came out in 2015. These were super popular back then. A hoverboard. So in 2015, these were super popular. Everyone was buying one. Everyone was trying to make some money off them. And Ronaldinho came out with his own brand of hoverboards. These golden things. And to be fair, they look pretty cool. So although it's a bit of a random product for Ronaldinho to make and have his own brand of, I'll be forever grateful that someone on his team decided to make it. As I was actually involved in helping promote it by making a video with the man himself. And the funny thing is, despite having his own brand of hoverboards, he wasn't actually allowed to ride them in case he fell off and hurt himself. So yeah, it's the Ronaldinho hoverboard. And to be fair, it's probably one of the coolest products from this video. But yeah, very, very random. So before we move on to the rest of the products in this video, there were a few I wasn't able to get my hands on. First off, this face exerciser Ronaldo is advertising here has to be one of the strangest commercials I've ever seen him do. I don't even want to know how much he got paid to film this. Also, I noticed that he had his own brand of biscuits, so I wanted to try them out. But they must taste pretty good because I wasn't able to find them on sale anywhere. As well as tomato juice, the Man United team have also done a commercial for an alcohol brand. And Wayne Rooney delivers this Oscar-worthy acting performance. Guys, we have a problem. The boss said that a new devil is arriving. They say he is a legend. So Messi has his own line of training products. Now, that makes sense, but the actual product itself is very strange. It's some sort of catapult ball launcher thing. And realistically, it's just a bit naff. You might as well just kick the ball up and near yourself. £35 this cost. Next up, we've got a product that a lot of footballers have advertised. And it seems like everyone's been in their commercials. This present day, Messi is still the main guy in their commercials. And it is, of course, Pepsi. Let's test it out. We all know Pepsi. Tastes pretty good. So I'm going to guess that Pepsi might have worked with more footballers than any other brand. So, yeah, quite interesting. That is to say, it's not exactly the healthiest drink. But, you know, it tastes good, and I'm sure they pay well. So the final product of this section is Ronaldo's aftershave. We see it being advertised a lot, but does it actually smell any good? That looks pretty cool, to be fair. To be fair, that smells pretty good. That's all I can say for that. Smells good. Best free kick takers on YouTube. £50 for every free kick he can score past me. I'm going to give you five free kicks, right? Yep. And each one you score past me, I'll give you £50. Pressure's on. For this, you get to choose where you take the free kick from. Yep. It's good to be said free kick and not shot, because I'd be doing it on the six yard line. Definitely a free kick outside the box, anywhere past that line there. Just getting my bearings as to where the wall would be. I'm here. Yeah, I'm feeling this side. This distance. Let's go with that. So the rule was, Sammy could choose wherever he took the free kick from. We set up the wall, did our stretches. Then we had a few shots to warm up, and I'm not going to lie, it got me slightly worried. Then it was time for the final five free kicks. Each one of these is worth £50. Alright, five shots. That's all I'm going to say, just five shots. First free kick, let's go. I'll take that. There's no saving that. That's £50 out of two. Mate. Was that my terrible key? That moved a lot. £100. Cheers, man. Well done. If you've never been in goal, in a knuckleball, it's hard to explain how difficult it is to save it. You can't predict it. Literally, you can't predict it. So finally, we've come down to the £1,000 free kick. I filmed a whole segment with Cam, giving him £10 for each free kick he scored. In the end, he won £107. But that footage is kind of boring, so in the end, I came up with a plan. I gave him the option to take what is probably the most pressurised free kick of his career. You go home with £170, right? Or, one final ball, one free kick. From anywhere you want, you can choose. For £1,000. If you score a free kick, you can decide where the ball goes, where the ball goes. £1,000 for scoring this free kick, but you do lose the £107 you've already won. So I get to set the wall up where I want, take the free kick where I want. Choose the ball, in fact. If I score, I get £1,000. If I miss, I walk away with nothing. So you guys can see what I'm looking at. I'm not going to lie. I'm going to go over the wall with power, top spin in that top corner. That's the goal. That is the goal. And this is probably the biggest free kick I've taken in my life. No pressure. I thought that was in. I'm actually gutted. I full on thought I was going in. I'm just glad someone took the offer, to be honest. It was close. It was close, but it wasn't good enough.
