Ahead of this summer’s Confederations Cup, Alexis Sánchez has come up with an interesting way to promote Chile’s involvement in the tournament.

The 28-year-old stars as an elderly man in a new advert, which he shared on social media, reports Daily Mail. In the video, he’s wearing prosthetics to resemble the physical features of an old man playing the role of a child’s grandfather.

Asked by the child for help with a school project, Alexis proceeds to tell him about the time that himself and Chile’s golden generation were successful. Having won the Copa America tournament in consecutive years, 2015 and last year, Sanchez shows the child a video of himself scoring his memorable Panenka penalty during their dramatic victory over Argentina two years ago.

Together with dramatic music and Chilean commentary, the child asks where his grandfather was during this period of success for the country.

Sanchez replies in dramatic fashion, saying: “I was writing history.
