ADEBAYOR RADIO & VAN PERSIE’S REBOUND VIDEO Emmanuel Adebayor keeps himself amused in the dressing room with his football boot radio while Robin van Persie is wreaking havoc on a metal goal frame. Watch both Adidas videos on Footy Boots TV. New Adidas ads: Robin van Persie is magic, Emmanuel Adebayor is cheesy
Adidas are stepping up their advertising just days before Christmas, releasing two new ads which they hope will boost their football boot sales in the holiday season. The first ad, promoting the Predator boot, finds Robin van Persie standing in the middle of a goal showing off some basic skills in the lead up the magic moment. After about 10 seconds of playing keepy-uppy, the Dutch striker produced an unbelievable piece of skill by smacking the ball on the volley onto the underside of the bar,Adidas: Adebayor - Snake
Football's Emanuel Adebayor takes centre stage in the arcade classic 'Snake', in a new film for adidas. Sitting in a changing room, he clicks on the studs of his boot as if they're buttons on a PlayStation games controller. Meanwhile, on screen, he runs around the pitch collecting 'computer graphics' stars. With every star he picks up, another computerized Adebayor is added behind him, eventually making a very long row of Adebayors, like a Snake. Finally, achieving a 'High Score' he dances in hAdidas: Gerrard - Clay Pigeon Shoot
Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso had a go at kicking a few balls at some clay pigeons at Liverpool's training ground, which isn't an easy thing armed with just a football. Alonso launched a clay pigeon from a machine they'd wheeled out on the pitch and Gerrard smacked a ball nearly hitting it. He had another go and, second attempt, he hit it breaking the clay in the sky. Manager Rafa Benitez, watching from his office looked pretty impressed at Gerrard's feat, as were Liverpool training staff stanAdidas: Arjen Robben - Magic Boot
Real Madrid star Arjen Robben reveals some of the secrets of his magic footwork in a new film for adidas. Sitting in the Real Madrid changing room, using nothing but the power of mind-control, Robben commands all the parts of an F50 TUNiT boot from the team's boot room. Without aid of visible support, the uppers join with the chassis and the studs are screwed in by the stud key. He picks up the finished boot and finally with a raised eyebrow, he stops the stud key spinning on the floor. The filWhat I'd want for Christmas if I played on grass
Dear Santa Claus... That's a sexy boot, no? My football career died a bit of a death when I was 16 and discovered that hangovers were more fun when you had them in bed and not on a football pitch. Being a bit of a flair player (go on, laugh it up), I opted for wearing a pair of skaggy old boots which had been worn by Paolo Maldini (seriously) more often than not. These days, my only football is a weekly astroturf outing with a lad from work, a few media types and assorted celebrities. But if Football video: Arjen Robben and his magic self-building boot
Balding Dutchman amazed by fake technology Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben sits in the changing room when he is interrupted by the components of his boot arriving. It is not apparent what he was intending to wear before the boot arrives as disjointed as the West Brom defence. It also remains unclear what he is going to wear on his other foot. Arjen has other concerns though, such as how Adidas can create a self-building boot and yet cannot halt his receding hairline.Adidas Predator PowerSwerve DB

Michael Ballack has a spot of target practice, trying out his new Predator boots. He takes aim at a hoop, which is held up by a trainer at Chelsea 's Cobham training ground.

The first video finds Xabi Alonso in control of a clay pigeon machine, with his fellow Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard taking aim with the ball.
