Brazilian Soccer Player Takes Showboating to the Extreme with Camel Inspired Trick Move

Medellin defeated Deportivo Cali 3-2 over the weekend in the Colombian domestic soccer league, but you already knew that. Late in stoppage time and his team up a goal, Medellin’s Elton Martins decided it would be the perfect time to break out a camel-inspired juggling trick, flicking the ball over his head and balancing it on the back of his neck, briefly.

For a move with such a high degree of difficulty, there isn’t much payoff for pulling it off — aside from landing on YouTube and future soccer skills highlight complications, or I guess totally humiliating your opponent. Martins did get lucky the defender marking him didn’t drop him with a hard foul for his brazen trickery.

Still, it’ cool move but it’s doubtful the camel hump is going to be used all that often in the future when it matters.
