RON AT THE
READY... Cristiano Ronaldo strikes a pose during Nike's "Write The
Future" TV ad
FOOTBALL'S biggest stars have been given a glimpse into their futures — with Nike's stunning new TV advert.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba and ... er... Homer
Simpson all
play a part in the three-minute film, which was made by Hollywood
director
and producer Alejandro G Inarritu.
It will be shown on TV for the first time across 32 countries during
Saturday's Champions League final between Inter and Bayern Munich.
But you can see it here first with your stonking SunSport.
Watch our fantastic 10-minute behind-the-scenes documentary on the
making of
the ad below.
The video includes an exclusive full showing of the TV advert, which
marks the
launch of Nike's "Write the Future" campaign.
It begins with Drogba weaving his way past defenders before chipping the
keeper.
But celebrations are cut short after the acrobatic intervention of
Cannavaro
and this is where the story really kicks off.
We see Cannavaro's future mapped out with chat show appearances and even
a
song being released in praise of the goal-line clearance.
HARD TIMES... Wayne Rooney
Rooney's career-defining moment sees him cross swords with Franck
Ribery.
He loses the ball and we fast forward to Rooney living in a caravan and
working as a groundsman, with his career in tatters.
Rooney wins the ball back and his future has changed dramatically, with a
knighthood in the offing.
Real Madrid hotshot Ronaldo also has a big part to play.
As he lines up to take a vital free-kick for Portugal we discover that
if he
scores he can expect to have a movie made of his life story and a
stadium
named in his honour.
Ronaldo summed the advert up, saying: "Every touch you have in a game
has the
ability to change the entire course of not just those 90 minutes but
your
entire tournament or season.
"One touch of the ball can be an opportunity to leave your mark on the
game
and write your own future, or equally a moment missed, that creates a
legacy
for your opponent with their fans."
