The Phoenix players are losing 0-4 when suddenly the coach requests a change. If the score remains like this, any substitution can no longer change the outcome of the match but here, it is indeed Ronaldo who will make his entrance. Recorded under the name Dave Walsh, it directly shows why he is one of the best players in history. Rabona, vista… But the weight of the years will quickly resurface. The physical deficit is far too present, and must quickly leave the field.
An unforgettable moment for the players, but also for the opponents. One of them will testify to this surreal moment on X, ex-Twitter: “I have never been able to hold an opposing attacker so easily”.
All this staging was actually intended to film an advertisement for Paddy Power, a British gambling company, and their new game offering called “super Sub”, used to bet on the minute a player is replaced .
For the record, Phoenix FC ultimately lost this meeting with a score of… 0-7.
