Watch a player miss a wide open goal from two yards out

It’s a talent.

Just tap it in. Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy. Tap, tap, taperoo.

Or sky it over the bar from about two yards. That’s what Wellington Carlos did for Concordia Chiajna of the Romanian league did.

The ball doesn’t take any crazy bounces. It’s not a terrible pitch. There isn’t some unwieldy spin on the ball. He’s not being challenged or pushed. He simply manages to kick a simple square ball straight up in the air, which is really impressive if you think about it.

It is probably karma for wearing gloves with short sleeves.
