Most of us have wondered what it would be like to have a six-pack at one point or another, but the desire to get one usually doesn't come until adulthood, and it's certainly not something we ever associate with children. But it turns out that a six-year-old soccer prodigy has a six-pack and it really has to be seen to be believed. Taking to social media to show off his skills, Arat Hosseini's father showed off a video of the child performing an astounding 3,000 kick-ups, as well showing off his impressive six-pack to his 3.9 million Instagram followers as he attempts to become the next Lionel Messi. Watch Arat set a new personal kick up record below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTA1WaHL5aM]] Arat first captured the world's attention back in 2017 when a video emerged of him scaling a three-meter wall, and he's amassed a strong social media following since then, which is managed by his dad. The six-year-old, who lives in Liverpool, England, has now interacted with his hero Messi online and told him that he wants to play for Barcelona when he is older.

The six-year-old's father then relayed a message from his son which read: "Leo Messi, thank you for commenting on me. I wish to play for Barcelona one day." Discussing his son's ambitions, his father said: "He dreams about it every night. And he compares himself with Messi. "He says, 'I will be just like him when I grew up.'"
