“Wearing a certain kind of shoe or playing with a particular kind of ball has an impact on my game. Football boots are crucial tools for every player. They definitely influence how I feel while I’m playing so it’s really important to wear the best possible shoes. For me the new Predator is a perfect combination between the latest technology and the ultimate comfort.”

“One of the biggest things for any player is that he has to have the right football boots. It’s so important to feel right in a pair of boots when you walk out onto the pitch. It’s not just the feel, for me it’s also the look of the boot that makes me feel special. I’m very closely involved in determining the design of my boots; they are showing different sides of my personality every time adidas brings out a new pair, this time it’s “The +Predator Absolute“. I really love the way it looks! “
