Taking advantage of this, adidas has released a new brand film that features sporting superstars and young trailblazers who will be representing their country this summer. Its goal is to encourage the next generation of sportsmen to crush their fears and rediscover their passion for soccer by showcasing stars like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Reyna, Ousmane Dembélé, and Pedri. The short, narrated by the legendary David Beckham of England, serves as a reminder to all of the players at this year’s most prestigious football tournaments—from reigning champions to rookies—to reframe the pressure and concentrate on the positive rallying cry “You Got This” as they step onto the pitch.

As the legendary Under Pressure by Queen ft. David Bowie plays in the background, G.O.A.T. Lionel Messi cements his position in history, and Florian Wirtz, a teenage sensation from Germany, shoots an incredible strike into the top corner, U.S.A.’s Gio Reyna scores a volley goal after a rainbow flick, Pedri, a future star, walks confidently among the Spanish fans before the game, and Ousmane Dembele, a rising star for France, shows what’s possible when you channel your noise, inspiring other athletes to do the same.

The new adidas F50 football footwear, which Dembele and Santi Jimenez showcase in the film, will be worn by players at the UEFA Champions League Final and will be the talk of the summer in sport. Finally, Jude Bellingham’s home turf in Birmingham is shown in the closing image playing in the backyard with local athletes. All throughout the world, athletes are being reminded of the origins of their passion for the game and the power of the affirmation “You Got This” to turn their ambitions into reality. A premium high-necked track top in patriotic colors with personal details is the first piece of adidas apparel that the Real Madrid superstar will be wearing from the ‘JB Originals’ range, which is due to launch in the coming months.

Pressure can affect the performance of both professional and amateur athletes, according to a new study from neuro11 and adidas, two of the world’s foremost experts in sports neuroscience. “Pressure is universally felt by all athletes – even those playing at the top of the game. Research suggests that the feeling is amplified when competing at international level. Players are three times as likely to miss the goal when taking a penalty for their country than for their club team,” declares Dr. Niklas Häusler, co-founder of neuro11. But new research with a few adidas athletes shows that with the correct methods, players can handle pressure up to 40% better in crucial situations.3 Their summer dreams can come true if they put all their energy into following their routines.England player Jude Bellingham said, “When you first play for your national team, it comes with a higher level of pressure and one you have to adapt to quickly,” in an interview given before the World Cup 2024TM. Playing at a high level from a young age has taught me that playing under pressure is more of a chore than an opportunity. My personal motto is “when pressure comes, remember why you’re playing.” With that in mind, I intend to enter this summer’s tournament with the mindset that I play for the love of the game, and I’ll use the pressure to my advantage to perform at my best.

Adidas VP of global brand communications Florian Alt stated: “We want to celebrate and support our players ahead of a huge summer of football as they continue to inspire the up-and-coming generation of athletes.” This statement pertains to the upcoming chapter of the brand campaign. No matter how high up the ladder you are, this advertising is a good reminder that pressure is always there. Our goal is still the same: to help remove the bad influences in sports and inspire players at all levels to rediscover the joy that first drew them to the game. ‘You Got This’ is our rallying cry, and we believe it encourages athletes at all levels to push through challenges and realize their full athletic potential.
