The desert sun beat down on the film set with a relentless, unforgiving intensity. The custom-built football pitch, a perfect green jewel in a sea of golden dunes, was a hive of activity.
But the global superstars were not on the pitch yet.
Instead, a group of english boys, no older than sixteen, were kicking a ball around, their laughter echoing in the vast emptiness. They were dressed in simple t-shirts and shorts, their faces alight with the pure, unadulterated joy of the game.
This was the opening scene, the foundation upon which the commercial's magic would be built. The director, Jean-Pierre, wanted authenticity. He wanted to capture the raw, unfiltered passion of street football before unleashing the superstars.
