Adidas' Unlock the Game Director's Cut Revealed

The mysteries of the beautiful game are explored in an adidas spot ‘Unlock the Game’. Shot by A+ director Niall O’Brien, the spot gets philosophical about all things football, bringing to mind the infamous Bill Shankly quote, “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude.
