I was watching Sky News Sportsline show on Friday evening and came across some grainy video footage of Barcelona’s Brazilian striker Ronaldinho performing kick-ups on a training pitch then volleying the ball from outside the penalty area against the crossbar and catching the ball on his chest, he repeated this no less than four times without the ball hitting the ground. It was quite amazing.

The grainy footage makes it look like the video was secretely taken on a mobile phone but I soon realised this was not so when up popped a credit with the words ‘nikefootball.com’.

Having been to the Nike Football site and seen the video for myself it is obvious that it was not taken using a mobile telephone, but with a broadcast standard camera. It still looks very cool, but not quite the secret footage I had hoped it would be. It’s an ad for Nike’s new Tiempo Legend football boots.
