Ok, guys, what is going on in Belgium? Their current crop of players is absolutely world-class. Just on a talent per square foot basis, the country is tops in the world. Seriously, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois, Marouane Fellaini, Dries Mertens, and Kevin Mirallas, all currently playing in the top flight in Europe, all come from a country that is just over 10,000 square miles big. To put that into perspective, that’s just slightly larger than the state of Vermont. And this golden generation is showing no signs of stopping.
If you have never heard of Pietro Tommaselli, then you are about to be in for a shock. The kid is only 10 years old. He played in the FC Anderlecht youth circuit before signing for Italian giant AS Roma at the age of 9. We have seen a fair amount of his highlights, but none of them compare to this one right here.
Grown men practice for hours a day and can’t pull off a rainbow kick standing still, yet here is Pietro pulling it off in the middle of a game, over a defender’s head. This is something that we thought only actually happens in FIFA. And, knowing kids these days, that’s probably where he got the inspiration for this move.
We bet he likes to play as Neymar.
