This Blind Soccer Player From France Needs To Be On The Next Cover Of FIFA
Lionel Messi? More like Lionel Cantsee.
Truth be told, the only reason I wanted to write a blog about this video was just for that joke. So I don't really know where to go from here. But I've been seeing a lot of people in the comments wondering if this fella is actually blind. There are a lot of skeptics out there who believe we've got a bit of a Stevie Wonder situation on our hands here.
But let's just for a second entertain the thought that this Frédérik Villeroux can actually see. He still has to wear that blindfold out there, which would make this significantly harder. If you're someone who can see but now you're forced to wear a blindfold, you'd be completely lost out there. You wouldn't be able to make it more than 10 feet without eating shit. The only way you can get this nasty at blind soccer is if you're actually blind, and have managed to heighten all your other senses. If it weren't for the blindfold then I'd say there's no way this dude is actually blind. But this Frédérik Villeroux is dancing through the best soccer players on planet Earth if you threw a blindfold over their eyes right now.
Sidenote: I do think the serpentine technique here would be pretty unstoppable in blind soccer. Just keep running in an "S" pattern and you should be fine. More change of direction, the better.
