A schoolboy has become an internet sensation in China after being filmed juggling a football and jumping rope at the same time.
The nine-year-old from Beijing, Yi Bingsheng, can even do both tricks while having his eyes covered.
The child has stunned tens of thousands with his incredible sports talent, and is dubbed ‘a future Messi’ by Chinese web users.
A nine-year-old Chinese boy from Beijing, Yi Bingsheng, has shown incredible talent by being able to juggle a football perfectly while skipping ropes – and even without looking at all
Yi has been playing football for two years as a member of his school team, according to his social media page.
His mother has been posting videos of him kicking balls on Chinese TikTok-like Douyin since April and quickly attracted nearly 13,000 followers.
One of his recent clips shows the talented pupil juggling a football while skipping ropes for 40 times without fail.
The football lover is said to have been practising the trick for four months.
In June, Yi had stepped up the challenge by wearing a blindfold after seeing a Japanese boy, Towa Yamasaki, completing the seemingly impossible task.
He wrote in a post on June 1: ‘Officially started the challenge today! Chinese people can also do this!’
