Why it worked

The video uses a relatable premise of a child wanting a coveted item and then transitions into exciting, money-driven sports scenarios. The blend of emotional connection and aspirational content, combined with fast-paced visuals and clear monetary rewards, likely resonated with viewers.

Summary

The video shows a child who is sad because he cannot afford a Messi jersey. His older brother then cuts up an old plastic bag and writes Messi on it to make a makeshift jersey. The video then transitions to basketball scenarios where players make money for scoring, blocking shots, and making rebounds.
