00:00This is me signing for a professional football club and playing in my first ever pro match.
00:06But how did we get here?
00:08See, a mystery club invited me down for official trials,
00:13where if I pass, I will sign a one-day contract with the club.
00:17Could I make my childhood dream come true?
00:20For the trials, I was going to be playing left wing,
00:24so I wanted to focus on the key attributes for a winger, starting with dribbling.
00:29And maybe this drill wasn't as easy as I thought.
00:32But on my second goal, I dribbled through the cones with ease,
00:35and I ended up smashing the ball into the top corner.
00:39There we go!
00:40It might come down to penalties in trials, so I have to make sure I'm fully prepared.
00:44And I hit a great penalty into the top corner.
00:47And on trial day, I would end up having to take a penalty.
00:51Next up was long shot.
00:53I cut inside before hitting a beautiful finesse shot past the keeper.
00:58Let's go!
00:59And finally, a 1v1.
01:01And I scored a brilliant chip with my weak foot.
01:04With shooting complete, it was time to test my passing.
01:08I have three attempts to pass it into three different targets.
01:12Okay, number one, a diagonal pass.
01:14I've got this in my locker.
01:16And I clearly did not have it in my locker.
01:19Oh my god.
01:22Alright, passing isn't my strongest point, but let's see.
01:24And my second attempt wasn't any better after I hit the ball well over.
01:28Oh.
01:32And on my final attempt, it was another miss, leaving my final score zero out of three.
01:38If I wanted to play in the pro match, I would have to improve my passing.
01:43The last attribute was speed, so it was time for a race.
01:47And I was struggling to keep up with Ade.
01:50And Ade ended up beating me way too easily.
01:53It was nowhere near good enough.
01:55Ah, why is this guy so fast?
01:58I was not sure if I was ready for the big day tomorrow.
02:02It was now time for my official trial.
02:05And the club I was going on trials with was championship side QPR.
02:11This was not going to be easy as I was against some top players.
02:16And the rules were simple.
02:18If I score, I sign a one-day contract with QPR.
02:22Guys, it all comes down to this.
02:24If I score, I play in the pro match.
02:26The trials had now started and it all came down to this moment.
02:30And within the first few minutes, the ball came to Ade.
02:34He took it onto his left foot and he hit a great strike into the bottom corner.
02:39Meaning Ade was officially playing in the pro match.
02:43And shortly after, the ball came to Jay.
02:46He used his quick feet to get past the defender and then he chipped the goalkeeper.
02:51With Jay now also passing trials, it was only me who hadn't scored.
02:56Then the ball got played over to me.
02:58I took a touch inside before reversing back out to get past the defender.
03:03I put in a low cross to Ade who took an amazing touch.
03:07But we just couldn't find the back of the net.
03:10And that would be the last chance of the first half.
03:13And it was not looking good for me.
03:14The second half started and Ade was on fire.
03:18After some great skill, he dribbled past four players.
03:21He cut inside and he played the ball into me.
03:24I took a good touch.
03:25I turned onto my right but my shot was saved by the keeper.
03:29But then Ade played the ball into me.
03:31I held off the defender and I carried on driving.
03:34After getting past another defender, I slotted the ball in past the keeper.
03:39And with that goal, I had officially passed my trials.
03:43I wasn't done there as my confidence was high.
03:46Ade played the ball into me.
03:48I took on two defenders and cut inside between them.
03:52I then did an Mbappe finish to score my second goal of the game.
03:56But there was a twist.
03:58The manager challenged me to switch teams and see if I could score for the other team.
04:03And straight away, the ball came to me.
04:06I got past the defender and I continued driving.
04:09I played the ball into Jay who went and finished it.
04:12I had registered my first assist of the trials but I still needed a goal.
04:17And then the ball came to Jay.
04:19He sprinted down the line and then he put in a cross.
04:22And I was waiting at the far post to tap it in to score.
04:26Challenge complete.
04:27One goal, three assists.
04:28Yes, sir.
04:29Mission complete.
04:31We're playing in the Pro Football Nights.
04:33Let's go.
04:34With the game ending 3-3, we went to penalties.
04:38Ade was up first and he smashed his penalty against the post.
04:42I was up next and I tried to chip the keeper.
04:46You know, he is a specialist in failure.
04:48I was so close.
04:50Last up was Jay and he hit it wide.
04:54We had to improve our penalties as there was a big chance the pro match would go to penalties.
05:00Mission complete in training.
05:01Now it's time to prepare for the big game.
05:03If I was going to become a pro, I would have to train with the pros.
05:06So Championship side Leeds United invited me down to challenge their goalkeeper,
05:12Elan Mellier.
05:13I will be going against him in penalties, 1v1s and long shots.
05:17And on my first penalty, I absolutely buried Mellier.
05:21But on my next penalty, I tried to chip the Leeds keeper and of course failed.
05:26And Mellier took it personally as he dived to save my final penalty,
05:30leaving me with a score of 1 out of 3.
05:33Up next was 1v1s and on my first attempt, I tried to dribble around 6ft6 Mellier.
05:40On my next goal, I took a good touch.
05:42I drove at Mellier and I managed to somehow chip him.
05:46We both couldn't believe what just happened, giving me a final score of 1 out of 2.
05:52Last up was long shots.
05:54My first goal, I set myself up nicely and I took a good shot,
05:58but Mellier saved it with his face.
06:00My next goal, I took a good first touch and I whipped the ball across goal,
06:05but it was just wide.
06:06And on my final goal, despite taking a shaky touch,
06:10I managed to hit a great strike, but once again, just wide.
06:14Overall, I showed positive signs heading into the big pro match.
06:19With the final game only being two days away,
06:22I had to work on any weaknesses I still had.
06:25In the trials, I missed my penalty and we cannot let that happen again.
06:29First up, we're practicing penalties.
06:31I'm going top right, top right.
06:39This one, actually destroying confidence, nothing too much.
06:43Step up, bottom left.
06:48No, actually you can't use that.
07:05But at least I got one.
07:07Okay, I'm going to be honest.
07:08At this point, I'm just going to pray the match does not go to penalties.
07:11It was now time to work on my stamina.
07:13And after two minutes of running, I was already out of breath,
07:17but Ade did not let me stop.
07:19And after another run, I could no longer take it anymore.
07:23My eyes soaking wet on the floor, bro.
07:26Up next, it was time to practice long range passing.
07:30And it was clear to see how much my passing had improved.
07:33I was accurately passing the ball to Ade within the cones.
07:38And after three successful long range passes,
07:41it was time to put it to the real test.
07:43We're doing the same test as day one.
07:45Let's see if I've improved.
07:46I'm going to go for a lofted pass on this one.
07:53Already a better score than last time.
07:55Left side now.
07:56I'm feeling confident.
08:02Two out of two.
08:03Far goal, the hardest one.
08:05Big kick.
08:11Three out of three.
08:12Let's go.
08:13And finally, it was time for a rematch in the race.
08:17I could not lose twice.
08:19The race began and I was already doing much better than last time.
08:23And heading into the end of the race, we could not tell who won.
08:26I finally beat Ade.
08:28What are you talking about?
08:29I won.
08:30I won?
08:30No, I won, bro.
08:32Let us know in the comments,
08:33It was now one day before the final pro match.
08:36So I decided to watch the two best teams in the world, but with a twist.
08:41So Alex, do you have any idea where we're going?
08:43No idea, bro.
08:44Where are we going?
08:45We're going to find out.
08:46I was going to be surprising my best friend Alex with tickets to his first ever football game.
08:52As you've seen, we're at Etihad Stadium.
08:54Have you figured it out?
08:55I think I've got it.
08:56Real Madrid game?
08:57Nah, you've got to be lying, man.
08:58We're going Man City v Real Madrid.
09:00And to be the best, I would have to analyse the best.
09:04And there were some stars on show.
09:06It was time for kickoff and the atmosphere was insane.
09:10And after an intense game, it all went down to penalties.
09:14And my good friend Jude Bellingham scored his penalty.
09:18And Real Madrid went on to not only win this game, but they won the whole Champions League.
09:23And after a crazy game, I was able to analyse the rest of the team.
09:28And after a crazy game, tomorrow was the big day.
09:33Everything I had worked for came down to this moment.
09:37It was time to play in the pro football match.
09:4030 minutes before kickoff, we started off with a light warm-up.
09:43And the nerves were really starting to kick in now.
09:47It was now time for the biggest match of my life.
09:50Kickoff began and it wasn't long before I got my first touch.
09:54The ball came to me and after a quick change of pace, I sprinted past the right-back.
09:59But my cross was cleared.
10:02It was a solid start.
10:04I soon realised how physical this game was going to be,
10:07after the right-back went for a very aggressive tackle to clear the ball out.
10:11And then, the ball got played to me on the wing.
10:14I drove at the defender before cutting inside.
10:17I did a few step-overs and hit a great shot.
10:20But it was a good save from the keeper.
10:23The next time the ball came to me, I took a touch wide,
10:26then cut back inside to send the defender,
10:29but I just couldn't find the angle to shoot.
10:31And I ended up getting tackled.
10:33Towards the end of the first half, I collected the ball from deep.
10:37I kept my head up and played the ball into the striker.
10:40The QPR striker took a touch and drove at the defenders.
10:43And after a great run, he played a no-look pass into me.
10:46I was through on goal, but I ended up getting taken out by the goalkeeper.
10:51Winning a penalty for my team.
10:53The QPR striker stepped up to take the penalty,
10:57and he slotted it in the bottom corner to put my team 1-0 up.
11:01I had also registered my first assist of the game.
11:04But the lead didn't last long, as shortly after,
11:07a back pass from the defender meant the ball went straight to their striker.
11:11He was too fast for the centre-back as he got past him
11:14and slotted it in the bottom corner to make it 1-1.
11:17It was game on.
11:18And the other team were now starting to dominate,
11:21as after a great run from Jay, he was through on goal against the keeper.
11:26But it was a great save to stop the opposition team from taking the lead.
11:30And that would be the last attack before half-time.
11:34This game was so tight, it could go either way.
11:37It was time for the second half,
11:39and straight from kick-off they tried to catch the keeper out,
11:42but it was just wide.
11:44But they didn't stop there, as the striker played the ball through to SV2.
11:48He was too fast for a defender as he slotted the ball in to make it 2-1.
11:53For the first time this game, my team was losing.
11:56But within minutes of their goal, our team was on the attack.
11:59The ball came to Ade, who took a good first touch
12:02and scored a back-heel goal to make it 2-2.
12:05The best goal yet.
12:07And just like that, we were back in the game.
12:10And it didn't end there, as straight after, we had a free-kick.
12:14And the QPR midfielder hit the perfect free-kick to make it 3-2.
12:18My team was on fire.
12:20But just as we were getting comfortable,
12:22after a mistake from the defender,
12:24Jay beat him to a header.
12:26He carried on driving before slotting the ball past the keeper to make it 3-3.
12:31This game was insane.
12:33And in the last minute,
12:34Urges played a brilliant through-ball towards me.
12:37I drove down the line, but after trying to cut inside,
12:40I attempted to shoot, but the defender blocked my effort.
12:43It just wasn't my day.
12:45With the game ending 3-3,
12:47it was now time for penalties.
12:50SV2 was up first,
12:51and he sent the keeper the wrong way to score his penalty.
12:55Ade was up for our team,
12:56he stepped up and he chipped the keeper to score.
12:59It was all even.
13:01Next up was Jay, who previously missed in Trials Day.
13:04But this time, Jay made no mistake after a great finish into the top-right corner.
13:10Urges was up for our team,
13:12and he went for a hot penalty,
13:14but he missed.
13:15And as the penalties were sudden death,
13:18our team had lost,
13:19and I didn't have the chance to take a penalty.
13:22But despite losing,
13:23playing in a pro football match was a childhood dream come true.
13:27So thank you guys for allowing me to live my dreams and being a part of my journey.
