I Busted 100 Football Myths In 24 Hours!

today I'm going to be testing as many of football's biggest myths as I can to see if they're actually true or not a lot of which used by your favorite players including Ronaldo Neymar and more this is going to be interesting so let's get into the first one okay so moved one expensive boots make you play better things are around 40 pounds okay so up next hitting the ball under the valve makes it go higher this technique is used by a lot of professional goalkeepers when taking their goal kicks so let's test out okay first I'm just gonna hit it normally and now under the valve okay so I'm not sure what the result of that myth is but you guys will have still on screen so the penalties have a higher success rate so many players such as Ronaldo Lewandowski Pogba love this technique and recently players like Georgina have been creating a lot of noise for the modern jumping technique as well so I'm going to take three certain penalties three normal penalties and we're gonna compare the results there's one you don't say these three out of three for the normal now let's try the stutters all right I didn't see any differences with those penalties obviously it's based on the player but for me myth bossy right now before we move on to the next myth it's time for a drink spray now Eric approached me about their new and unique water bottle concept and I thought it fitted in perfectly to this video as it's perfect for your football session so apparently this bottle makes plain water taste flavored through these scented pods when you sip the water you also inhale the scent of these Pods at the same time making it taste flavored okay so I'm gonna put the cherry flavor on right now and then you pull it up to activate so let's give it a go yeah yeah these myth is confirmed too that is genius this bottle is perfect when you're playing football or any other sports I've been loving using it for my filming sessions recently especially now it's summer I always struggle to drink enough water as a lot of the time it just feels like a chore but this bottle makes me drink a lot more and it's perfectly healthy as well it's literally simply plain water that just tastes nice no sugars sweeteners or anything like that so yeah you can get yours with over 25 flavors to choose from by clicking the link in the description of this video anyway back on with the video okay so this next one is another one that's gone viral on the internet and it's famously used by Cristiano Ronaldo apparently putting your new boots in hot water expands them and breaks them in making them more comfortable to wear so we're going to put them in here hold them down with weights so they stay under the water and we're going to come back in five minutes five minutes later oh these are soaking when you try this one at home might want to dry them first but I've got other Mists to bust so please be quick okay so boots on this might be placebo effect but they definitely feel softer when I was wearing the yesterday they felt a bit stiff so I misconfirmed you can try this at home with a kettle or in the bath but disclaimer don't try it for too long because you'll probably rent your boots onto next all right these boots are actually that content I'm gonna wear them for the rest of the video but now it's time for the jab you're lining you guys will have seen this myth so it makes your shots knock off all that crazy so let's do your montage [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] this ball is overpowered okay so another myth in the goalkeeping world is that putting Vaseline on your gloves gives them more grip I don't know how much you're meant to put on but we're just gonna see what happens it must be enough [Music] it's actually misconfirmed these definitely give them more stick and grip you do get left with a bit of Vaseline on the ball though [Music] it's all on me now yeah I don't know how legal this would be in a game and also the stick's already kind of wearing off the gloves so I also don't think it would be very effective in game so after going home and researching this I found that the laws of football state that any tacky substances on the hands or sticky gloves are indeed illegal is classed as unsporting behavior and a caution should be given so the conclusion is that they do make your gloves more grippy but this isn't legal in a game okay now whilst we've got the Vaseline I'm gonna try another myth apparently if you put Vaseline on your Achilles heel you can stop blisters from your football boots right I brought These Boots along I never wear these because they're usually always give me blisters you can see how tight they are so vaseline on and I'm going to play with them now for around five minutes or so because that's when usually start to get the blisters so let's see what happens [Music] foreign [Music] s now and this is where they usually start to hurt and I've had no signs of rubbing so this myth is confirmed so if you're a goalie or you get blisters with your boots definitely get yourself some Vaseline her murder sucker is extremely slow at one point he was the slowest player on FIFA with 27 Pace his top speed from the edge of the box to the goal line is 3.2 seconds so let's see how I compare and if he's really as slow as people say he is ah okay what was that all right 2.95 so confirmed I am faster than per motorcycle so I suppose that's misconfirmed right now this next one is probably the weirdest of the video apparently Coke cleans your dirty boots better than water this has gone viral on tiktok and I feel like it's just someone making it up for views but apparently the chemicals in the coke get deeper into the dirt so I guess there's one way to find out okay so I've just spent 30 seconds just wiping over the boot of water so now let's compare it to the coke right time for the coke this is ridiculous foreign right so I've cleaned this boot for 30 seconds of the water and this boot for 30 seconds of the coat and there's absolutely no different so myth busted and if anything it'll probably just end up staying in your boot so don't try this one at home okay so I used to be told by my coaches that when you're winning you should never do skills to showboat and mock your opponent because it can be a foul to the opposition this myth is actually true or went viral when Neymar tried to Rainbow flick the defender and got books but I suppose it does depend on the ref okay so another thing I used to hear my coaches always say is to not sit on the ball because it'll make it shake like an egg though I'm going to sit on this for around five minutes and we'll see if this is really true or not foreign [Music] another Miss I was told Growing Up by PE teachers was that putting your hands on your knees is an ineffective way of trying to recover when you're out of breath and instead you should put your hands on your head I did a bit of research on this and scientific research carried out found that the Hands-On knees technique is far better at recovering your resting heart rate back down to regular levels so another myth busted and this is why we still see all the top footballers using this technique regardless of what you might have heard otherwise so as a footballer don't be afraid of using this technique to catch your breath onto the next now grip socks have become extremely popular over recent years with a lot of Pros wear them in actual matches and they supposedly make your turns faster such as Luis Suarez and Deli Ali even wore them in the world cup so I've set up an Agility Test where we're going to compare the speed of the grip socks compared to just normal socks [Music] okay I don't know the speed of that but the time for the normal socks will be on screen now all right rip socks on let's test them out ah okay so results on screen now right now this next myth was used by the England players in the latest World Cup and it's a cut in holes in your football socks relieves tension in the calves though let's give it a go okay I think that's enough so let's get them on see how they feel okay there we go this looks really weird I think I've done a few too big on the back of this one as well but yeah to be fair I actually do get this one because obviously a lot of times football socks can be so tight they do definitely feel quite looser and lighter so I think myth confirmed oh it's like a fashion show this let me change the boots right so this next one the boots too small for you keep your best first touch and feel for the ball so these as you can see nightmares get on brought these boots out from a few years ago because these are just way too small for me this is another one supposedly used by Ronaldo but I don't think he does it anymore so there could be a fold with this one [Music] okay General thoughts I don't really feel much difference they're just a bit more uncomfortable but let's do a touch test so three touches with these boots are too small three touches with some normal boots and let's see how they compare all right [Music] oh no all right no real difference another myth busted right that's enough myth busting for today a lot will confirm to be fair and there's some good ideas for you guys to try at home leave a comment for which one you thought was the most interesting I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you later
