The best thing for the kid at this stage would be havin no insta or social media accounts at all. He is talented and at 6, 7 years old really doesnt need more than gettin into a good academy of any PL or even championship club. No matter how good you are, it doesnt mean anything until youre 16, 17. That will be the case for Arat in 2030.

This kinda fame, controversy and following will harm teenagers 10 years older than him even. This story could turn out into a Freddy Adu, Nikon El Maestro one. Hopefully, he will become a famous football player, but its highly possible he turns out to be an Azadegan league player or no football player at all.

Just watch Messis video when he was a boy Arats age. Also dribbling through everyone and scoring. But he was just a small kid. known in his home city. At 13 he made it to Barca, and at 17 he made his debut for the senior team. Still a longgg way to go for Arat and the likes of him.

Damn that does sound a bit crazy. But then again i can understand cuz he gets a lot of hate for what he does. Iranians can be extreme assholes at times.

WTH! On one hand I see the love for his kid. But on the other end he is setting his kid up to fail. Honestly it’s not really good for a 6 year old to have so much attention and fame. What is the dad going to do the first time Arat’s soccer career hits a roadblock. He seems a bit unstable!

Bro the kid is having best childhood wtf are people talking about???

Shit i wish my dad took me to this much soccer...growing up in Iran we only dreamed of playing on grass or have trainers. My legs still have scars 30yrs later from all the times i fell on the concrete. The kid is having a good time and lets be supportive.

With that said we cant really tell how good Arat will be 10yrs from now. But he certainly has talent

[Galactika]

Why do you say "you". Are you not Iranian as well?

my bad. we*

I understand but there's more to it than the videos we see now. There have been videos of this kid from only a few months old getting pushed by the dad to do homestyle gymnastics with 0 background in the sport. The dad proudly posted videos of the kid crying in pain pushing his body to do flexible stuff when he was only a few months old to show "determination" and many more questionable videos that would probably be classed as child abuse. Let's not even talk about how he travelled around the world to appear on TV shows like some kinda circus act.

There was a documentary about a child similar to Arat that grew up resenting his dad and became a nobody.

While, I do see your points (and those have been my concerns as well), the main point is that the kid seems to be very happy. That's all that matters. Hopefully he's as happy all the times as he seems to be in the videos.

I think in today's football industry it starts this young. Basically if you're not in the system early and being pushed by parents who are dedicated to your future career, you can't maximize your potential. Of course talent and passion are naturally requirements too.

He is but the cynic in me just can't get over the fact his dad is using him and is depriving him of his childhood. I just can't see this story ending well.

That's a really optimistic claim, regarding that you might not even make it to 2030.

Please let's not be so fast to pass a judgment. From the interviews I've seen of the father, he seems to be very genuine. We have no way of knowing. All I ask is to respect everyone. If anything let's support him, he seems very talented !

[Mr Pouya]

He is a very talented child, but ultimately you can't really tell if young players have a future until they're 15-16.
