- Football matches at youth level can often be breathless and chaotic contests
- That was perfectly summed up by a recent short clip that was popular on Twitter
- Video shows player accidentally hitting three rivals with the ball in succession
- It attracted lots of likes and retweets and even came to attention of Petr Cech
The breathless, unorthodox and oft-chaotic world of kids’ football has been perfectly captured in a hilarious video that recently went viral on social media.
The short seven-second clip posted on Twitter, picked up by Soccer AM and set to the Benny Hill theme song, sees one green-shirted young player accidentally launch the ball into the midriff of an opponent.
A second attempt at a long clearance then sees the youngster inadvertently hit it into the face of another rival in red, with the duo then colliding as they seek to stay out of his way.
An amusing video showing the chaotic nature of youth football recently went viral on Twitter

The short clip shows a green-shirted player accidentally hitting three of his rivals with the ball

The first two players get in each others’ way as their opponent gets a third chance to clear

A third player is then on the receiving end as he tries to close down his rival during the chaos
The player in question then gets a third strike of the ball after taking a touch to steady himself, and, unbelievably, he again manages to find the head of an unwitting opponent trying to close him down.
The original video has quickly amassed 30,000 likes and 15,000 re-tweets since first being posted on Sunday morning, though factors such as the identity of the two teams involved, location and date of the fixture remain a mystery.




Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech was among those to retweet the Soccer AM version that was captioned: ‘This video gets funnier every time you watch it’.
‘How much tougher are young soccer players than pros at the World Cup? What age do they teach diving?’ asked one Twitter user.
Another joked: ‘Some serious gegenpressing there. [Jurgen] Klopp would be impressed.’
Other reactions ranged from ‘kid’s been playing too much Fortnite’ to ‘that kid has played way too much FIFA Street 3’ and light-hearted comparisons to a young Sergio Ramos.
