VINE: Martin Odegaard shows his skills with this wonderful reverse pass

Believe the hype

The most hyped teenager in world football had clubs lining before Christmas for his signature, but eventually Martin Odegaard decided to join Real Madrid.

The 16-year old has been touted as the next ‘Freddy Adu’, but we think he may even exceed that damming praise after he gave a glimpse of his immense talent this weekend for the Real Madrid B side.

The Norway international, who’s on almost €100,000 a week at Madrid, scored his first goal for the club at the weekend in the win over Barakaldo in Segunda División B

It was a decent effort but it’s not going to match this fantastic example of the skill shown by the teenager in the 4-0 win.

With a little bit of trickery and close ball control he manages to weave a yard of space to set himself up for this fantastic reverse flick pass.

There was talk that he was going to be part of the Real Madrid squad for the later parts of the Champions League and we would be very excited to see this on our telly’s Tuesday or Wednesday nights.
