With 6 million followers, the little Iranian does space tricks with the ball (and very tough commando training)
8-year-old Arat Hosseini originally from Iran is literally a child – a football prodigy – it is no coincidence that he has been given the title of “the next Messi”.
Little Arat became popular on social media at the age of 5 when his dad started uploading videos of their excruciating training sessions (he runs against a parachute and climbs with his bare hands even on a vertical wall), his incredible dribbling, magic his goals and 3,000 consecutive goals.
In no time, father – coach and son – footballer moved to England so that little Arat could enter Liverpool’s football academy.
For three years, Arat “perfected” his unreal for his age football skills with consistency and professionalism and became a world star among football fanatics and beyond.
For example, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand and former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua are just two high-profile names who follow Hosseini’s Instagram account.
So far so good, 8-year-old Arat’s future looks bright and lucrative. The story breaks down when the boy lifts his shirt to reveal his abs – fit for a bodybuilder, not an 8-year-old – due to grueling training and the like. diet.
Last January Arat (or dad – coach – manager) announced that he was leaving Liverpool’s academy because “they were no longer useful to each other” and is now being coached and managed by his dad alone.
