Madin Mohammed – the next “Zidane”

YOU MAY have seen the still shots in today’s copy of The New Paper. Now check out his skills in this three-minute long video, where he displays an amazing array of skills for someone his age.

While some are sceptical about the boy’s abilities, given that the video was edited to showcase the best of Madin, but think of it this way – could you ever do this when you were 6?

  1. Based on the youtube clip, Madin Mohammed is one of the best for someone that is 6 years old. I guess Madin himself also put in many hours in his backyard garden honing his technical abilities. At this age, the technical aspect of the game is the most important, and football should be fun. How I wish we got a space for us to play football every day when we are young

    Would he be the next Zidane? We would never know as technical ability alone does not make you a great footballer. After all, there are many soccer skill tournaments where many people can do wonderful and amazing things with the ball but they are not professional footballers.

    However, I think Madin is really talented and has a great start in terms of developing his talents. As long he keeps injury free and his feet and the ground, he would be a good footballer next time as over the next 10 to 15 years he would need to master the vision, tactical awareness and build his mental strength and character.

    We had seen too many young stars fallen away when their heads got big. Hopefully he would remain humble and entertain us for many years to come.

  2. Yes,he certainly have the potential at his age but he must continue to improve and work very very hard then in 15-20 yrs time,he may be one of the best player in the world but a pity thing is that,he is from France not Singapore.Hopefully,Singapore can groom players like this and i believe we have people with this talent but the country must know how to identify and groom them.#
