Comments on: Gato, the next Superstar? http://soccerlens.com/gato-the-next-superstar/8180/ Football News Fri, 25 May 2012 18:33:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: John Bradford http://soccerlens.com/gato-the-next-superstar/8180/#comment-126321 John Bradford Sat, 26 Jun 2010 03:31:39 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/gato-the-next-superstar/8180/#comment-126321 I played professional football in Scotland and I did not play half as good as Gato when I was 9, 10 or even 13 years old. This kid can surely play. I watched the video a while ago and I was very impressed. Oliver discovered a future superstar. It took me a while to find his video again, but I found it. Gato is simply a treat to watch and if he reaches 18 playing like this, he´ll be the next Messi.

The answer is No. If that kid has talent then the website poses a possibilty to stardom. No one is forcing him to do anything. Have you asked yourself "Gato Killer"; Why did he upload the video in the first place? Is it up to us to decide his future? No it's not but if he truly wants to achieve this goal who should deny it to him, not us that's for sure! Or even put him down othewise. You really have big issues naming yoursel "Gato Killer" in other words " 9 year old kid killer" that's nice real nice. And please clarify the "SOCCER is not a sport" becasue i kind of think it is the most wild world known sport, just because you're probably shit at it doesn't mean that Gato is!!!! "Soccer" is not just a game!!! It represents much more!!! What is your defenition of a grown up, anyway? “kid’s are the future” is one of the many great claims of Barack Obama, now do you not think that great football player’s started of young, playing in the streets with thir mates, having posters of fotballer perched upon their walls so as to look up to, Is that not a good example kids? training every day to get to where they are, Glory, beacuse you make it sound like “soccer” players just turn up out thin air and play a “grown-up’s” game.

His movements are of a grown up and he also seems to be a team player. I've been a soccer coach at the college level for 19 years and I have not seen a kid of his age or several years older with the natural abilities and potential this kid has. Nice to read stories like this. Amazing & a pleasure to watch!!! His movements are of a grown up and he also seems to be a team player.

A 9 year old can become the next hero to a new generation of football players, but articles of this nature need to appear publicly once in a while to inspire kids from all corners the world. Inspiration creates motivation and that itself generates the interest & passion to touch the lives of others to hopefully jump star the minds and hearts of the next heroes. There is nothing morally wrong when comparing young talent with existing heroes. It all comes down to how parents of those potentially new heroes teach their kids to live their lives. It's simple...show the above article to a young inspiring football player and you will see how morally correct is to compare young inspiring players to those already at the top! A young athlete or future superstar with a good upbringing will not feel the pressure to perform well. A kid that is pressured by parents to perform well will get frustrated and will abandon the race and the dreams of his/her parents prematurely. Very well written article!

Is it just me or is there something morally wrong about setting these wild expectations about a 9 year old to develop into the next Messi, Kaka etc? I haven't looked into the nextsoccerstar site so this is NOT a criticism of that. Just burdening a 9 year old with these expectations. You’re kidding?
