The future of Japanese football is bright. Such a conclusion can be drawn after watching a video where an unnamed nine-year-old impresses onlookers with his impressive gameplay and ball control.

Neither the young Japanese player's name nor the club where he trains is disclosed. However, videos are circulating on the internet, and they caught the attention of even one of the coaches of Barcelona's youth team, Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta.

This child is already being compared to the best footballer on the planet, Lionel Messi.
