Firstly I am not a Chelsea or man U fan. I watched the match for the best soccer entertainment reasons. I however know that technical expertise on what sports athletes wear on pitch is highly drummed for commercial benefit rather than true performance at highest level of elite sportsmen needs.
John terry boots let him down yesterday, he slipped because of a lack of grip in wet weather conditions for the boot described below as his choice. The technology of this boot did nothing to guarantee John the Ultimate performance when he most needed it. Umbro has failed John, Chelsea and ultimately the fans of football around the world. This boot will go down in history as the one that stole victory and football justice to all stakeholders involved in the game.
Umbro John Terry SX Valor Force Soft Ground Football Boots - Navy/White/RedThis is the latest Umbro boot as worn by England and Chelsea captain John Terry. The new Umbro SX Valor Force is supposed to be packed with full performance enhancing technology guaranteed to give players of all levels a welcome mid season boost. The Valor ( as they call it @ Umbro) is an all round football boot focusing on comfort, safety and control. He nearly broke his ankle as the boot slid on the ground . Main Features:- high grade water resistant ceramic duratec kangaroo leather- revolutionary Michelin technology suede vamp- PU print application- fully shaped leather flip over tongue with velcro fastener- lightweight TPU heel counter- TPU anatomical outsole with carbon fibre rigidity shank- 8 removable studs for use on soft natural surfaces. A LOT OF MARKETING CRAP as the boot failed yday.
The most honourable thing to be done is for UMBRO apologise to John, Chelsea fc and fans. All the other brands like adidas and nike were in the same conditions but won on the day.
