There’s no doubt that soccer is overflowing with passion and brute force. And that’s just from the fans. On the field, it is even more insane, as one soccer player proved when his attempt at a goal sent the goalie flying backward through the net.
Reddit’s r/soccer community recently unearthed this athletic gem, which took place in Saint Petersburg, Russia, earlier this week during a practice.
The smiling player is Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, nicknamed “Hulk.” He is a Brazillian footballer who plays for Zenit Saint Petersburg.
Whether the video was legitimate or just a PR stunt by Zenit, redditors nevertheless wasted no time making the money shot into a GIF, allowing viewers to feel the goalie’s unique pain over and over again.
“EA should up his shot power in the next game…. To 100,” redditor lordorangejuice commented.
Maybe this is the guy we should send after Loki.
