- [Matt] Hoy, Lads.
I'm filming with Ronaldo today.
Come and have a look.
(lively music)
Lads, here we go.
Meet Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time.
Go and greet him.
(lively music)
- [Commentator] Here's Ronaldo.
Oh, my goodness.
- What's up guys?
Matt from the Football Boots team,
and today, I'm gonna be showing you
how anyone can look like Cristiano Ronaldo
in under 10 minutes.
So, Tommy, are you ready to be transformed?
- Yup, let's do it.
- Alright, so, we've got Tommy playing our human mannequin.
And the first step to looking like CR7 is some white shorts.
Now we've got Adidas Real Madrid shorts,
but you can do this with any pair of white shorts,
for Real Madrid.
Now, put those on Tommy.
And Ronaldo actually does a special trick on his shorts
which you might not be aware of.
That waistband, he actually folds over,
and ties the rope so you can actually still see it.
Step number two, and it's not just Ronaldo
who doesn't wear just football socks.
He actually wears some Nike training socks underneath.
So, Tommy, take of your black ones,
and then put on the white socks.
Now, the reason Cristiano Ronaldo does this,
is he actually cuts his football socks
just underneath his shin pads, and then tapes them together.
Which, is what you're gonna be seeing
in the video coming up.
Something which Cristiano Ronaldo does
is he actually pulls his white Nike socks up very high.
Which, is for a reason you're gonna be seeing
coming up as well.
Step number three is essential for CR7,
and any professional footballer,
and that is your match day equipment, shin pads.
Now the ones that we've got are actually personalised.
And Ronaldo himself, he's got some special Nike CR7's.
Now, the way Ronaldo actually wears his shin pads
are a little bit different to what you might be used to.
So, Tommy, show us how CR7 actually does his.
So, as you can see,
Cristiano Ronaldo actually wears his shin pads
inside those Nike training socks
about half-way, three-quarters in.
So, you can still see the tops of them
coming out of the sock.
To be honest,
I quite like the way Ronaldo actually
wears his shin pads tucked into his under socks,
but what about you guys?
Is this something you would try yourself?
Vote in a pole card now.
Okay, so far we've got our training socks on.
We've also got our shin pads tucked inside,
but now it's time for the match socks.
Step number four.
But this is actually a very unique way
that Cristiano Ronaldo actually wears his match socks.
So, Tommy, put these on,
and I'll talk you through
exactly what Ronaldo does for his match days.
Okay, so, the technique is,
you need to put your match socks on
all the way to the top.
Ronaldo sometimes wears his socks above the knee,
or just below, but once you've got it all in place,
you need to make a little mental note
of where abouts you want to cut it.
And it should be underneath the shin pad,
but also not too low, near to the ankle.
So, you want it just about in between.
So, take a little mental note,
because that's where we're gonna be making our cut.
So, Tommy made his mark on the socks
where he wants them to be cut.
Now, we've got our scissors.
We need to cut the socks.
Now, if you come in a little closer,
we can see the sock itself
actually has a natural mark for us.
Now, where Tommy pointed to is actually just above.
Now, this is quite nice
cause it gives you a straight line.
So, you need to cut through the entire sock
as neatly and as straight as you can.
Now, once you've got to this part,
this is now essentially a waste of space.
So, you don't need that anymore.
This is what you want to be left with.
It's almost essentially a sleeve.
Our sock sleeves have been made.
So, now it's time to actually put the socks on,
and then tape them up.
So, Tommy, put your first sleeve on.
So, you need to slide it into place.
Usually, as I said, the top of the sock
goes in between the knee or onto the thigh.
And where the bottom of it goes
is above the ankle and below the shin pad.
Now, once you're happy you've got it in place,
make sure the Adidas logo is straight forward,
cause Ronaldo has to look proper and professional.
So, you're happy with that?
- Yes.
- Now, show the viewers how you tape it up.
Now, the important part,
is you have to start underneath the sock sleeve.
Otherwise, it's gonna fray.
So, once you've got it all taped up,
make sure the tape is always touching,
that's the key.
And then you go up about a quarter of the shin pad.
So, the amount of the leg which is actually taped up
is actually quite large.
There's actually a lot of professionals alongside CR7
who does this pro-sock treat,
where you cut them halfway down.
But what about you guys?
I'm interested to know.
Would you cut your socks like this yourself?

Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of Real Madrid's
biggest players over the past several seasons.
So, of course, has been sporting a Los Blancos
all white shirt of Real Madrid.
So, Tommy, stick this on.
Now, Ronaldo himself, he usually wears a long sleeve shirt,
and then rolls the sleeves up.
But we've got a short sleeve.
But another optional one for you
is you can either the shirt in,
something which Ronaldo does quite often,
or you can just leave it baggy.
Sometimes even, he tucks it in the front
and then leaves it baggy around the back.
We're coming back at you again with our white tape.
Now, for some reason,
Cristiano Ronaldo always wears tape around his left wrist.
For all those CR7 fans out there,
you've probably actually recognised this.
And for me, I don't actually know the reason.
I'm gonna say it's superstition.
But if you guys actually know the real reason
that Ronaldo wears white tape around his left wrist,
please let us know in the comment section below.
But, Tommy, tape up your wrist.
Now, you wanna go from just behind the wrist bone
in front of it, but not too much onto the palm.
On to our next one, and for me,
this is the most important step for Cristiano Ronaldo
on his match day.
His pair of football boots
that he can do all his tricks and score all his goals.
Now, we've got the Nike Chapter V Cut To Brilliance,
which is CR7's latest boot.
So, Tommy, slide them on and lace them up.
And for any of you ultimate CR7 fan boys,
we're going to be showing you a trick to make them
look like the ones that CR7 actually wears himself.
So, we've got our football boots laced up.
And the CR7 trick that I was telling you about,
is if you want to make them look like the Superfly V,
which Ronaldo actually wears himself,
you can fold that collar inwards
to make it look like the shortened collar.
Which, Cristiano Ronaldo has so famously
got Nike to make him.
But what about you guys?
Would you fold in your Dynamic Fit collar
to make it look like Ronaldo?
Vote in a poll card now.
Of course, you don't have to pay the high prices
of the Superfly V to look like Cristiano Ronaldo.
You can get the scaled down Veloce, or the Victory.
Which, both come with the Dynamic Fit collar
and in kid sizes for a lot cheaper prices.
So, as it stands, Tommy is top to toe
in Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid gear.
But it doesn't stop there
because we all know Ronaldo is one of the prettiest boys
on a football pitch we've ever come across.
So, we are now gonna do Tommy's hair
to make it look just like Cristiano Ronaldo.
(buzzing)
Alright, so once you got the product in your hand,
what you need to do is put it through all the top of it.
Try and pull it back as much as you can.
Like the sweep over diagonal Ronaldo is famous for.
But also, another lovely little thing he does,
is sometimes he has a couple of strands
coming out the front.
Alright, so, I want to put out there
I'm not the best hairstylist.
But if you put a little bit of product in your hair,
do it like this, then yourself
could look a little bit like Cristiano Ronaldo.
So, guys there it is.
How to look like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Tommy, in my opinion, looks fresh.
But what about next time?
Who should we try and dress Tommy up next?
Maybe Messi, Barcelona.
Neymar, PSG.
You guys let us know in the comments section below.
Bit of fun today, but thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoyed it, and as always
- We'll see you next time.
