100 Hours To Meet Ronaldo

[00:02] >> But meeting Ronaldo is almost impossible. He's the most famous man on the entire planet and there's elite security protecting him at all times. I've already managed to meet Lionel Messi, but now I'm on my biggest ever

[00:17] mission to meet the greatest goal scorer of all time. Cristiano, the timer has started and we're here in Riad for a massive boxing fight. Ronaldo might be here. Let's go find him. >> But not only does Ronaldo come to watch

[00:33] every boxing fight in Saudi Arabia, his favorite fighter, Canelo Alvarez, is him that he would be here. I think the fact he's promised Canelo he'll be here a chance. >> The first stage of my plan to meet

[00:47] Ronaldo tonight was waiting at the VIP entrance where I had seen Cristiano Ronaldo enter before. But Ronaldo isn't the only person I want to meet in this video. And the first of my targets, heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua had

[01:01] just arrived, who sits next to Ronaldo at every fight. This just shows this is Cristiano's coming in anywhere, it's right here and we'll get him. And once said hello to him. >> Can I get a photo, man?

[01:14] >> Calm down. We need >> Okay, let's hope Ronaldo doesn't pay us like that. So after technically meeting AJ, I continued to wait at the VIP entrance. But with an hour until the big fight, there was no sign of Ronaldo yet.

[01:26] So I moved on to stage two and headed towards the boxing ring and was with stood just meters from his son Cristiano Jr. But with no sign of Ronaldo here either, I made my way to my seat for the first fight of the evening and spotted a

[01:39] legendary footballer, former Real Madrid player. So with footballers arriving, I knew Ronaldo would be here soon. I sat back and enjoyed the boxing until I was handed a new pass. And the area it unlocked was backstage where Ronaldo

[01:52] would be walking out from alongside Canelo. Ronaldo made him a promise he'd walk him out. So he should be here unless he's lied to Canelo. With my new stood just meters away from the fighters. No one thinks [music] about

[02:06] Big brain. >> But as I was waiting patiently, I got >> We've been told we have to move from the best spot ever. >> That was because Canelo was making his way out. [music] Canelo's coming now,

[02:18] >> As Canelo made his way towards me, I checked to see if Ronaldo was alongside him. [music] And despite being just meters away, Ronaldo wasn't there. >> I mean, it's really, really cool, but I don't see Ronaldo. But we've something

[02:31] go. >> And my next plan to meet Ronaldo was to head to Alnasser's training ground. And for the first time on my mission, I saw >> If he stops, [music] we've done it. Okay, time for our second chance. We are

[02:45] we're going to sit right here and wait until he either arrives or leaves. We're not too sure on times, so we've [music] given ourselves lots of time. I'm just don't burn alive. So, with my chair set up in the perfect spot, I made sure to

[02:59] wave at every single car, hoping someone would invite me in. You see, this tactic worked for my friend Kristen before, who, after waiting outside the training ground, was invited in and even got a photo with Cristiano Ronaldo. Even if we

[03:13] chance he stops when he comes out. >> But it was difficult to tell which car Ronaldo was inside. So, I moved my chair closer to the entrance, which allowed me to see directly into the player's car park. And as more cars kept arriving, I

[03:27] remained hopeful I could be anyone. And as I carried on waiting, this subscriber showed me a photo on his phone of him meeting Cristiano Jr. We're in the right place. But after 4 [music] hours, I was about to be asked to move further away

[03:40] from the entrance. Some cars are coming out. That's why. And with Al-Naser's training now over, more cars began to leave the training ground. But luckily, I could still see into the players car park. And the first car to leave was

[03:53] al-Naser sporting director and Real Madrid legend Fernando Hiro, who I spotted at the boxing last night, but sadly he didn't stop. Gone. There's only Does he ever [music] stop? >> Sometimes we can meet Otavio. Otavio.

[04:09] >> Ronaldo. Sadio Man. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, Sadio [music] Mané always >> And luckily for me, Otavio and Mane were two players I still needed to meet. But ground without stopping, I was starting to think my mission would be

[04:25] unsuccessful. But then Otavio's van started driving towards me. And thanks to this child, he stopped on the side of the road, which meant I was about to meet another of my targets. >> They are coming from England.

[04:38] >> Do you mind signing my shirt, man? >> Thank you so much. >> We're trying to uh uh here, please. >> Yeah. We're trying to meet you and we're trying to meet Cristiano. Do you think

[04:51] >> I don't know. >> Thank you, man. >> See you. One Portuguese player down, one more to go. And after successfully meeting Otavio, I tried to get more players to stop, but one by one, they

[05:04] all drove past me. That's Telisa. That was Telisa. >> Is Cristiano still there? We'll get him. >> And I was about to see him for myself as I took up my phone and zoomed into the car park to see Cristiano Ronaldo in the

[05:19] distance. But as I carried on filming, I watched him quickly make his way towards his car. He's literally in this car. [music] He is literally in this car. done it. >> And just like that, Ronaldo's car

[05:32] started driving towards me. Oh man, please. Cristiano, please. please. Cristiano, please. No, we chase him. We chase him, please.

[05:47] close. We go again. We go again. But even after being unsuccessful at trying to meet Ronaldo outside training, I went back day after day to no success. But I still had one last tactic to try and meet Ronaldo at an Al Nasser match. and

[06:03] make it happen. >> We're at Alasser and we have VIP tickets to find one man. We're [music] going to go for it tonight. We're going to do everything we can to get him the whole game. Let's go. Once I made my way into

[06:17] comfortable. [music] But Ronaldo was now arriving to the stadium, which I spotted on the screen in front of me. He's here. I can feel it. It's happening. So with Ronaldo now inside the stadium, I headed pitchside to get into the best position

[06:32] the tunnel. >> He's going to be right there. And as tunnel, it wasn't long before I spotted [music] Ronaldo. But unsurprisingly, he [music] Ronaldo. But unsurprisingly, he ran straight out without stopping.

[06:46] training, I paused my mission to say hello to some subscribers, which attracted the attention of Al-Naser TV. Ronaldo? >> Can I in the door universe?

[06:59] mission. >> We have 100 hours to meet Cristiano >> And we are in the 98th hour. So, we need to meet him tonight or we fail and chance. So, if you can get us in the tunnel afterwards, a fist bump.

[07:13] might give me a [music] fist bump. >> I will try my best. Thank you so much. >> No, thank you so much. So, with one potential route to Ronaldo secured, I approached by another subscriber who made a crazy promise. If

[07:28] >> if Alas wins, we're going to go down to meet the players. I met them a couple of come with us. >> Are you sure? >> If they win, we already >> Okay. So, if they win, I can come with

[07:40] >> No. >> It's on camera. You promise? >> And after showing me photos of the players, it started to feel real. [laughter] It all comes down to this. We need a win

[07:54] It all comes down to this. We need a win more than ever before. So, we needed that. 2-0. It's happening. Halime, it's 2-0.

[08:07] line to stay the same. We're going to meet loads of players at the end and Ronaldo's going to cap it off. We're getting this done. It's happening. >> Can we come with you? Yeah. >> Thanks, boys. See you soon. It's

[08:20] >> It's happening. >> But then something ridiculous happened. took a photo with earlier and said something crazy. >> I was going to make you to see today. >> You're going to make me see Ronaldo. How

[08:33] help. >> Let's pause it right here. Just like me, you're probably wondering who this young boy's dad is. Well, not only does he know Cristiano personally, but he also owns the stadium I'll master playing.

[08:48] So, if anyone could bring me [music] to meet Cristiano, it was him. But of course, I didn't know that yet. Thank you. Time for the second half. And we have a new lead with two leads now. I think it could happen. That's bad news.

[09:02] [cheering] We still have hope. We need the win. We need a win. video. >> So, with my heart broken, I thought my

[09:17] chances of meeting Cristiano Ronaldo were over until I was introduced to this man who was the guardian of the young subscriber I met earlier. >> Tomorrow, after tomorrow, I give you the time and the location, you go to all

[09:31] >> Ronaldo. >> Everyone? >> Yes. I want to I help you. His father uh honored this uh student. >> Give me take my number. >> Yes, 100%. Thank you, man. Lovely to

[09:45] >> Thank you for helping me. >> He want to give you this gift. >> He is the hero of this video. Thank you so much. You're a legend. One [cheering] Cancel the flight home, baby. We're

[09:59] meeting Cristiano. But while my path to meet Cristiano Ronaldo was now secured, after their defeat, it unfortunately wouldn't be tomorrow, meaning my 100R wouldn't be tomorrow, meaning my 100R window was over. But join me 127 days

[10:12] later, ready for one of the [music] biggest days of my life. We're back at Alasser all these months later, right beside the players with the best seats told that tonight is the night we meet Cristiano Ronaldo. And despite Cristiano

[10:25] Ronaldo not being in the Alnasser squad tonight, that wasn't going to stop me. been told when we meet him. It's going to be in his family box which is just up make sure he comes. This has taken months and it's happening tonight. If

[10:41] you're a subscriber to this channel, you know that I've met lots of players, but this is different. [music] I can feel the butterflies. This is the most famous man on the planet. If you're curious how good these seats are, this is the bench.

[10:55] And I was about to take full advantage of this by saying hello to Sio Man. of this by saying hello to Sio Man. Hello, Sio. Nice to meet you. That's how good these seats are. [music] >> So, just like that, I'd now met another

[11:08] of my targets from this video. I've been trying to meet Sio Mani for months. These seats are insane. Wonder how many other players I can meet me. But now, it was almost time for kickoff, which meant Ronaldo would be

[11:22] arriving soon. >> Cristiano still not here. Look how close the players are. And with the game underway, it's time to tell you about my craziest giveaway ever. Thanks to my friends at Football Mob, let me tell you

[11:34] shirt. But just as I was telling you about the giveaway, Alaser opened the scoring. It's a goal. I didn't see who scored, but I know just where to check. I refreshed the football app and within seconds, I could see that it was Abdul

[11:47] Raman Garib, who was now on a 7.2 rating. But while I was enjoying the game, watching players like Xiao Felix up close, I was constantly checking to see when Ronaldo would arrive and he was missing an incredible game as Almaser

[12:00] were now winning 2-0 and their players Foot Mob ratings were improving. Karib also got an assist. He's on a rating of 8.2 already. Foot Mob is my favorite football app. I've legitimately used it for years to track all the players in

[12:14] all the games I care about. I highly recommend it. Now, let me tell you how signed Ronaldo shirt. Sign up to football using the link in the description in a pinned comment and use code John and you'll have a chance at

[12:27] winning this. But with the game now over 30 minutes in and Ronaldo still not at of meeting him tonight were slipping away. But there were still lots of other players for me to meet. And once the referee blew the halftime whistle, I

[12:41] took my chance to meet another of my targets, Kingsley Coleman. Coleman. There's another one off the list. But even though I was happy to man I needed to meet. >> I'm sick of looking. I'm going to have

[12:54] going to have to find him in his box. Let's see if he's there. This is the Ronaldo family box. I told you I'd come and see for myself.

[13:06] we're just going to have to get him tomorrow. But unfortunately for me, it wasn't tomorrow or even the next two days either. But the day did finally Let's go. [music] And my plan to meet Ronaldo was to wait beside this fence,

[13:21] which is right next to where Cristiano walks into the stadium for every game. And it didn't take long for the Almaser bus [music] to arrive. He's on that bus, and I'm going to pray he gives me a high five. I need to touch him. But while

[13:34] Ronaldo wasn't the first player off the bus, I did manage to meet one of his teammates, which proved it would be possible to [music] meet Cristiano if he decided to stop for me. One by one, Ronaldo's teammates made their way off

[13:46] the bus. With most of them stopping to say hello to me, even Sio Mané again. >> And Kingsley [music] Coleman, too. Nice to meet you, man. Good luck. >> But just as it was all going so well, this security guard came over and told

[13:59] me to stop greeting the players. Just as another of my targets, Jeal Felix, was approaching. But then, thankfully for [music] me, he quickly moved on. Just as towards me. >> Oh my word. That is Cristiano Ronaldo.

[14:14] >> And now was the moment I'd waited so long for. >> My word, Cristiano. Lovely to meet you. We just met Cristiano Ronaldo. We just did it. And if you enjoyed this video,

[14:28] go and watch this video where [music] I tried to meet Messi.
