adidas must be pleased ads punch at the moment; the new adiZero & adiZero Prime look great on the pitch and their key wearer for the ultralight boots, Lionel Messi, has picked up a back-to-back Ballon D’or award, crowning him the greatest player on the planet at the moment.

Understandably, adidas want to shout this fact out as much as possible, so they’ve made a nifty new viral featuring the trials and tribulations of cartoon Messi on his way to the greatest individual honour in World Football!
Messi (who seems to have been wearing the new adiZero his entire life, despite the fact that other players are spied in older F50 football boots…) weaves his way through injuries, manager changes and even a little nod to his ‘Fast vs Fast’ World Cup ad to become best of the 265 million football players on earth.
As well as the obstacles on and around the pitch, Messi also overcomes the heady distractions off it – including ladies and having “A big company believe in you, sponsor you and not make you into a fashion Supermodel”, seems like a not-so subtle dig at the way some companies promote their players if you ask us…
And just to top it off, in the World Cup-style section of the ad another Character ranked at ‘Number 3’ by the video’s counter shows up to try and stop cartoon Messi from scoring – wearing a Red Shirt, Green shorts, big earrings and Purple football boots – it doesn’t take a wild leap to guess this may be a reference a certain Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro!
It’s definitely a fun, light-hearted little video and some well-meaning banter between Nike and adidas is definitely something that we fans can get behind!
However, it was kind of funny to see Messi beat Ronaldo and score in a World Cup-style setting. Something the Portuguese winger did that the Argentine famously didn’t…
Although I’m adidas fan: this is bulls**t
first yepss!!!!

Truth be told…no one can make what Messi does on the pitch.Period.
Am i the only one that noticed it also shows Forlan?
Why did the german player right at the start have a hitler moustache?
yeah right… ronaldo would NEVER be back on defense.
i just wasted 5 min of my life watching and reading this
a… wanna be Ronaldo huh?!… hahah
As much as I hate having to admit an Argie is the best player in the world this new Adidas Ad is freaking cool and funny.
Ronaldo is better than Messi, and the merc’s are much better than the f50’s
hahah… sure… 11′ Messi Again
I’m pretty sure, actually 100% sure Messi used to wear Nike boots
Hey used to wear Tiempos, then switched when he got a contract from adidas
messi is god and twice the player and man tranny could ever be.
f50s are better than the heavy nikes
