In today's video, I am going to be having a professional trial with a professional football coach.
I'm in Dubai at La Liga Academy.
Make sure you watch until the end to see if I sign.
But as you guys know, we're in Dubai.
It's not just any normal trial.
Dubai has the best football technology in the world.
My name is Darrell Roberts.
I'm a coach at La Liga Football Academy here in Dubai.
Today, we are going to do certain stations in FootLab.
Basically, we'll test the speed, we'll test technique, we'll test shot power, and we'll test precision as well.
Today, I'm going to go through each station with Jamie and we'll see how he does.
I'll explain furthermore.
Let's do it.
I think that was alright.
I think that was okay.
It was alright.
I'm just giving a bit of feedback on Jamie's performance.
I think he did well, considering it's the first time he did this event and this stage.
I think going through what we see, it's going to happen in the game as well.
You know, close ball control.
Jamie showed that he had really good close ball control.
What I really like, as I told him before, I really like that flip-flop at the end that he did there.
That's what I want.
We move on to the speed stage again.
This involves speed.
Speed work and quick footwork.
Let's see how fast Jamie can do it.
I think he did great ability in this one.
I think he has the speed in this one.
He had certain guys that did really well, but I think you can better them.
20 metres.
I want two seconds.
Two point something, I want.
Let's see.
I think that's going to be difficult, but I believe you can do it, though.
Okay.
Yeah?
Yes, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Three seconds.
That's fast, though.
That's fast.
He said he can do it in two.
He said, I think he can do it in two, though.
That's pretty fast.
He can do at least two point something he can give me.
He did three this time, but I think he can do better than that.
Yeah, two point something.
He's just warming up.
Two point something.
I told you.
He's got it.
Two point in three, buddy.
You got it.
Once he got warmed up, he's going to match that three second mark.
I know once he got warmed up, he's going to destroy that three second mark.
I wouldn't want to see him when he's fully warmed up.
One more.
Let's see one more.
Yeah.
I think you can do one more.
You can give me one.
You've got one in you.
You've got a good one in you.
I think a two point seven will do.
Two point seven.
Excellent.
When you got fully warmed, it was a fly through.
I believed in you from since the beginning.
I told you, you can do the two point, break the three point mark,
and then I said two point seven, and look what happened.
So I believed in him.
Great job.
Excellent.
If you can beat two point seven, 20 meters, tell me in the comments below.
Before the next challenge, I have to go and do my medical.
How are you doing?
Nice to meet you.
When you're on trial at a professional football team,
they make you do something which is called a medical.
This is so that the team can make sure you're fully fit
and fully healthy to train with the first team.
If you guys are still watching this video,
make sure you comment LDN right now,
as I am going to be liking every comment.
Let's go.
Basically, we moved on to the next one from the speed.
We're going to move on to precision.
Precision is actually we're trying to hit the targets.
In football, hitting the target is very important
when we come into goal scoring and stuff like this.
Not only goal scoring, but passing as well.
Let's see.
I think Jamie has a bit of ability in him.
He's a bit shy, but he's got the ability to do something special in this game.
Let's see.
Hopefully.
Watch out, watch out, watch out.
It's not bad.
It's a decent score.
Decent score for the first try.
You know how Jamie is on the first one.
He doesn't show his true ability on the first one.
He gets kind of into it, but he doesn't get fully into it.
The first one is just a trial run all the time when I see him.
The first one is just to get that ice out,
just to break that ice a bit.
I think the second and third one, I think you'll get it.
Trying to get used to it.
This is new technology.
I've never seen this before.
Just better.
A little bit.
A little bit better.
But it's better.
It's better.
That's the thing.
And that's what we look for, improvement.
Not easy.
But at the same time, he gave his best shot.
Well done on this one.
16,000.
16,000, you'll take that any day.
Any day at any time.
I want to come back and try again.
16,000 is not a bad score.
I've seen guys, a lot of guys did even under 10,000.
And for your first time in this amazing facility,
to hit over 10,000 is decent.
Shot power, the last one, I'm just kicking as hard as I can.
Is that right?
That's it, yeah.
This is basically shot power.
Shot power, see how hard you can hit it.
But you need a bit of technique as well inside of the shot power
to see how hard you can get it.
Let's see how hard you can kick it.
Yeah?
Yeah, let's do it.
Top bins.
Top bins as well.
Top bins, yeah.
91.
If you try to hit the middle of the goal, you'll get a better score.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I got.
But I'm not sure if it's true.
You never heard it from him.
He didn't tell me.
I didn't see anything.
I know you've got the technique to do it as well.
98.
You see?
98.
The first one, you went in the corner here.
The second one, you went a bit lower.
Yeah, yeah.
The question is, can you break the...
100.
That's it.
That's the big question.
That's it.
That's what they are asking.
They are asking.
And they want to see it.
I think the answer is yes.
Let's get it.
Let's get it then.
Let's get it then, Jake.
That's it.
That's what I'm talking about right there.
That's it.
I told you, man.
Well done.
Good stuff, man.
Yes.
Good stuff.
I knew he would have broken that 100.
You pushed me.
You pushed me good.
I always push you.
You know that, Jake.
I will push whoever it is.
But well done.
Well done.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I know you would have broken that 100.
But as I said, the first one is what?
Just to break the ice.
And once you get the confidence.
Once you have the confidence.
And you push and you drive.
He will do.
He will do amazing stuff.
And he did it.
He did it.
Look.
Take a look at it.
Jamie did well on the four stages.
And to me, I think he has the ability.
Not only physically, but also mentally.
Mentally.
By saying mentally.
Because every time.
If you can see it.
The first time he did something.
It was the icebreaker.
And then he needed pushing on.
So I pushed him a bit.
And I think he has it in him to be a professional.
You know.
Because once he gets the shyness out.
Once he gets the icebreaker out.
I think he has the ability.
Physically.
And I said not only physically.
But mentally.
He can still be a professional.
Within Dubai.
Or within wherever.
He decides to go play.
For sure.
Come on.
Let's get the paperwork.
Let's get it done.
Wow.
This has been crazy.
I don't know what I should do.
We had a little talk.
Should I stay in Dubai to try and play professional football?
I don't know man.
I'm playing futsal with my team in London.
I don't know what I should do.
I still might go to America as well.
If you haven't seen that video.
Go and watch it.
There's options at the moment man.
This is crazy.
But tell me in the comments what you think I should do.
Should I stay in Dubai?
Stay in London?
Go to America?
Let me know.
