The whole thing is staggering.
Pretty much happened with a guy in my year too who was the playground dribbler and all the tricks, and used to skin everybody 4 or 5 times, score from freekicks all the time. By about the age of 15 we were all just as quick, just as big, didnt get bundled off the ball, and his only use to us was through a dead ball situation.
But to be fair he wasnt anything like this kid here....
who clearly is a greedy cnut, didnt see him pass once in that whole video
Reminds me of when I was in the States and we had a Rest of the World v US game. Their superstar started to parade his step-overs etc but wasn't really prepared for the mighty slide tackle.
Imagine how brilliant/utterly frustrating it would be to be on his team.
Do you have some passing stats to demonstrate this fact?
He better learn teamplay as soon as he steps u from 5-aside. Too many technically gifted youngster like that never learn.
Curling Beckham-like free kicks every time was the bit I was on about.
The defending looks a bit suspect.
So by the age of 15, everyone you knew was able to score curling Beckham like free kicks and kick a ball 30-40 yards to someone's feet? Where did you grow up? A Rio shanty town?
He's wearing a AIG jersey.. Gtfi
There are plenty of kids that can dribble. He needs to play against a team that forces him to pass and make decisions.
I find it amazing that people can criticise a child. Especially when children are encouraged to express themselves.
The next Rhain Davis.
This kid shows an utterly ridiculous level of close control. It'll be interesting to see if he can maintain that and add everything else to his game as he gets older.

While the latter part is true I don't for a second believe that there are plenty of kids around who can dribble like that. Typical caf bollocks.
He's pretty good for his age but on the other hand he's playing fecking 5 year olds, so what's the point? Come back in 10 years time and do the same thing and I hand it to him. Personally I have seen this far to many times to be impressed.
bet his team mates love him....
must be fun to play with

He's a greedy cnut, if he was on my team at that age I'd punch him.
Nice skills though but fecking involve your mates once in a while twatty!
Some of the comments here are trying too hard to follow the trend/theory that "a young kid with showing some talent" = you'll NEVER make it" by exaggerating past experiences as 'evidence' ("I knew a kid who could superdribble like Messi through everyone and score Beckham freekicks with his eyes closed but then...").
Noone on here knew a kid of 9 years old with this kind of close control btw.
On another note: this video was posted by some Barca youth coach who had a young Messi under his wings. He was pretty impressed.
Looks like he hasn't seen all those young superkids you guys knew.

yeah but in all fairness being that good at 9 years old doesn't mean so much. Players need much more than tricks and close control once the opposition start to get stronger, faster and more intelligent.
Of course. This is a video of a 9 year old showing some pretty amazing stuff for a NINE year old. Can't believe some of you analyzing him sceptically like an 18 year old Brazilian (some similar discussions in the Neymar thread ffs!) super prospect.
what are you on about?
"analyzing him sceptically like an 18 year old Brazilian"... erm wtf?
how is he compared to messi at the same age?
with regards to all the negativity:
This lad has the skills and is only 9 years old, the passing and teamwork can still be worked on (even if he does not have it already). All he needs is a club like ours.

what are you lot on?
"all he needs is a club like ours"??
He's fecking 9 years old, no-one knows what will happen with him over the next ten years.

he reminds me of when u make a player with 100% stats on ISS98 (N64) and take on the whole team.
This kid's a fecking arsehole, I'd flatten him and then commit Hari Kari on his dad.
Me too, that video just frustrated me, might as well let the little shit form his own team, just him and a goalie.
What's with the SNES music?
it's Japan!
yeh no one knows what will happen to him, but if he's coached right, there is a bigger chance of him making it, thats why clubs like barca have young kids on their books
I've tried letting this one go but I just can't. It's Hara-kiri ffs
I might as well take off my gear and go home if i found out i'm in the same team with him
learn how to read ;P
At one point in the video he was the only person on the field wearing a yellow bib, so I'm pretty sure it was him against both teams.
We have some ignorant people here.
Why are so many critisizing him?
And to say he will never make it is ridiculous.No one is saying he will surely make it but with good coaching he certainly has the talent to become a future player.

One trick pony.
