Mini Mo? Watch 7yo boy goes viral recreating Egyptian King's volley in 'Salah Challenge' (VIDEO)
A young boy who almost perfectly mimicked a Mohamed Salah volley has gone viral after a video of him kicking a ball through a tire, like the Liverpool and Egypt ace in a recent Pepsi advert, was shared on social media.
The boy was inspired by a recent Pepsi ad featuring Salah and all-time great Lionel Messi, who traded football tricks in an improvised contest for the last can left in a fridge at a gas station.
Before the ‘Last Can Standing’ commercial was released, Salah shared a behind-the-scenes video showing him impressively striking the ball through a tire on the first attempt after the director said “action!”

The Liverpool
striker then easily hit a can of Pepsi placed on top of the tire, triggering the ‘Mo Salah challenge’, which has gained a following on the internet.
One of the users who bravely attempted to repeat the player’s tricks was seven-year-old Mohamad Taha from Iran. The boy, whose Instagram account says he wants to win the Ballon d'Or, recreated Salah’s tricks with ease, becoming an internet sensation.
