Chelsea's Pedro Neto takes on NFL quarterback challenge! | Transcript:

We are here in Cobham, at Chelsea's training ground. A few weeks ago, Morgan Gibbs -White topped our rankings in the " football by football" challenge. And today, Chelsea are putting one of their best players on the line to see if he can claim the crown. Good morning, miss. Yes. I'm very happy to be here at Chelsea's training ground, with Pedro Neto. Pedro, you are holding an American football ball in your hands. We're in your environment, but you're actually an NFL fan, right? How did it happen? So, I have two friends, two of my best friends. They love it. I started playing NFL on PlayStation. And I still play it every day in Ultimate Team mode. So, to be honest, it all started with PlayStation. Then I started

watching the matches. Last year I went to a live game at Wembley for the first time. This year I also went to watch the Jaguars vs. the Eagles. And it was an incredible finale. Time was running out. Cam Little, the kicker, was about to kick. What was the atmosphere like there? It was incredible. I think it was the match with the largest number of fans in England. There were so many. Eagles fans. And the other one-it was just incredible. I remember them screaming like crazy on third downs. And during the last kick, silence reigned, because there were more Eagles fans than Jaguars fans. Yes. I went to a game with

a girl and told her.I don't remember if it was number 90, Davis from the Eagles. It seems so. Oh, yes. I said: he is not a man. I repeated that this guy couldn't be human. He was so big, and I was sitting on their bench. I said they were just huge. Yes. Honestly, I had no idea they were so huge. Yes. It's incredible to see: they are two meters tall or more and weigh 160 kilograms.

Incredible. And fast. Yes, that's true. This is true. This is simply incredible. Like Cooper DeJean. Aha. He was there too. He was so big too. I have no words for their physique. Mmm. Yes, it's amazing, they're going full speed ahead, it's so much fun. So, if you had to put together a team of five to play flag football with your teammates, what position would you play in American football and who would you put on the team? I would take Rhys James. Honestly, I would play the wide receiver position. This is appropriate. And I would put Reese James as a running back For the quarterback position, I would take.Uh. A responsible role.

Yes. Who should I take? Honestly, I don't see anyone who has the talent for the quarterback position. Good. Tell him about it. We'll invite an NFL quarterback for you. Will you invite an NFL quarterback for me? Then I need someone else for the team of five players. Who else will you take? Yes, another receiver. Another receiver? I would say Morgan Rogers. Yes. Ideally. It seems like it would be a fast team. You would be fantastic. Before we start, since you're here to play American football, we have a gift for you. I was always taught not to come to visit without a gift. The Texans sent you a jersey and they are very excited to share it with you.

Thank you. Thank you very much. And they did it. They put your name on the back. Please. This is just top. Thank you very much. Thanks, guys. Very good. Thank you very much. She is beautiful. Thank you. You'd be like Tank Dell if you were a receiver. That's pretty much how you play. So it's very fitting that you're now a "Texan." Thank you. Thank you very much. Of course, you're welcome. Thank you. Well. This is our "soccer ball into the soccer goal" challenge. How it works: You get three points if you hit any of the medium targets.

Five points for the "nine", one for the crossbar, and for hitting the lower targets, points are deducted, because the ball does not belong on the floor. Got it. Perfectly. You will have three attempts. Let's see how it goes. Suitable? Ideally. They drove. Perfectly. Oh. Well, that's it. Well, because. Five points. Is this ball the best? This? Yes. I like this ball the most. Should I change my target or. No, shoot wherever you want. If you want to continue for the sake of the top five, the current leader is 15.

Pedro. Come on. The coach is good. You heard it first. He told us. He doubted my abilities, and now we have 10. But now I need to change. You have three attempts. You can do whatever you want. So we play for the highest number of points. Oh. This is the best result. This is too good. 15. This is a top. Thank you very much. This will be a test with a step back. Essentially, like quarterbacks when they receive the ball from the center. So, you will announce the rhythm. As you see on TV, they say "blue 80" or "white 20", "

set", "hat". And then I'll give you the ball. Good. You will be leaving. Go away and throw it anywhere you want. Stand near the yellow cone. I will give the ball away if you say "hat" in any form. Whatever you want to say Blue 18", say "house". Ah. This is too far for me. You're doing so well. It was so far away. But we, we didn't train this movement. "Blue 80", say "hat". No. A stronger brush.

Just aim a little. When you step back, take a step forward. Carry the energy you have accumulated forward. You can do it. Last time. Oh. You were right there. I have to, I have to check. Do they give points for hitting this? Is this a crossbar? Are we counting? No. The producer says "no." Okay, Pedro. This is a test with a crossbar. This is worth 10 points. You now have 15 points. You've matched Morgan Gibbs-White. So this could solve everything.

Finished? Finished. More than ready. Let's go. Well, we'll see. Just try to hit the top. You will step back. And, oh. From here? Yes, all the way back here. Oh my God. Will the ball get there? What do you think? Yes. They drove. Yes. That was a cross, wasn't it? Straight into the crossbar. Yes. This is because I stretched my arms. Okay, Pedro. They drove. Follow the heel.

This is a brush job, huh? That's right, but 25 points. I am satisfied with this result. You are our new leader. Thank you very much. You won. It was the coach, huh? Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Thank you very much for participating, Pedro. And hopefully we'll see you at another NFL game this season. Thank you very much. Thank you. Very good. Thank you for that I can't believe you did it. What a rush. I changed sports, sir. Of course. No. Thank you very much. It was really fun. Thank you.
