The best footballer in the world in recent years, Lionel Messi, will become even more special, according to the Spanish newspaper Sport.es. The Argentine forward will be the first player in the world with an RFID chip in his boots!
The RFID chip built into the F50 Adizero boots from Adidas will track Messi's every move. Throughout the match, it will collect data on the striker's actions - tracking mileage, average speed, maximum speed, and all movements on the field within 360 degrees. The footballer already tested the "smart shoes" on September 6 in a match between the national teams of Argentina and Nigeria. Starting in November, Lionel will wear these boots in matches for Barcelona.
The new device has the ability to collect information for seven hours without a break. The data will be processed, and perhaps then we will be able to uncover the secret of the phenomenal play of the "ten" of the Catalan giants.
