"Honestly, having trained with those balls, they are ridiculous and should be banned," said Brown, who played a Champions League tie against Spartak Moscow last season. "The way the ball moves is incredible. It's like nothing I have ever seen. At the time I thought Artur's save was a great one because I know how much that ball moves. I sympathise with him, especially with the way Ronaldo kicks the ball. It is completely different to the SPL ball made by Mitre. It is so light that even trying to curl the ball is next to impossible. Even outfield players don't like it because passing the thing is a lottery.

"The first time we used it, before the Aalborg home game, we were out training and I was thinking oh my God, what's this?' Adidas won't be happy with my comments. They are trying to make it lighter all the time but it's too light."
