0:00:24 > 0:00:27Good morning, footie fans.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm here with another Kickabout filled with thrills and skills.
0:00:29 > 0:00:35Here's what's coming up.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Ronaldinho, Messi and Ronaldo, they all learnt their
0:00:40 > 0:00:41skills playing futsal.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45What's it all about?
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Stand by for more amazing fancy footwork from the F2 freestylers
0:00:49 > 0:00:54and some epic skills from some even bigger superstars - you lot!
0:00:54 > 0:00:59All that and loads more to come, including the Kickabout goals.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But we must start by saying a massive congratulations
0:01:02 > 0:01:05to Brighton, who secured promotion to the Premier League on Monday,
0:01:05 > 0:01:0820 years after The Seagulls were on the brink
0:01:08 > 0:01:11of dropping out of football altogether.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Whatever your team may be, don't be afraid to dream big.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Meanwhile, here are a few of the stories that
0:01:20 > 0:01:30also caught our eye.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33When Andrea Pirlo calls it one of the best goals ever,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37you know it has got to be good, from David Vier of New York City.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Unbelievable!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Carlos David is earning millions in China, which is maybe why fans
0:01:44 > 0:01:47were annoyed last week when the striker apparently missed
0:01:47 > 0:01:50a game to go to Disneyland.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56OK, he is injured, but come on, Carlos!
0:01:56 > 0:02:01And, after nearly 19 years, four Premier League titles
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and a Champions League winner's medal, John Terry has announced
0:02:03 > 0:02:08he will leave Chelsea at the end of the season.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11He is not hanging his boots up yet, and fancies staying in the Prem.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Where next for JT?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It was another dramatic week in European football,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and there were cheers and tears for the English teams.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25It is a cross, a deep one.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It is in!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Atletico Madrid take the lead.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33What a blow for Leicester.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Deflected, but it goes in!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40The whistle goes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45The Leicester players collapse to the ground.
0:02:45 > 0:02:54The fairy tale is finally over for Leicester City.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Manchester United take an early lead.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02He can't get the ball, but then they do.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06It is 1-1!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09He has found the back of the net!
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Manchester two, Anderlecht one.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Elsewhere, Juventus got the better of Barcelona,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and Real Madrid won 4-2 in an extra time thriller against Bayern Munich.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Ronaldo scored a hat-trick that took him to an incredible 100
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Champions League goals.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Here's how the semifinals are looking.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Manchester United have Spanish side Celta Vigo in the Europa League.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39There is a very tasty looking Madrid derby in the Champions League.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I can't wait.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Ronaldo has always been one of my footballing heroes,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46but you probably already knew that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51So here are a few others who have inspired me.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55First up is Jay Jay Okocha.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58When the Nigerian joined Bolton Wanderers he brought a whole
0:03:58 > 0:04:01new breed of football skills to the Premier League.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03What a goal!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Stunning!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Next is David Beckham.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09For me, he was the dead ball specialist.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Inspiring, the hours he used to put in on the training ground.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Beckham!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And finally, Ronaldinho.
0:04:18 > 0:04:26The ultimate freestyle footballer.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Skill, style, confidence, and always played with a smile on his face.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I loved all those players growing up, but really,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34it is so important to keep looking for new inspiration,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and these guys have taught me loads.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Sammy and Charlie are the knuckleball twins with some
0:04:39 > 0:04:42amazing free kick videos online.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Here they are with their dream five-a-side team, and a little bit
0:04:45 > 0:04:49of what they do best.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53The knuckleball twins here, Charlie and Sammy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55We would like to pick our five-a-side team for Match
0:04:55 > 0:05:02of the Day Kickabout.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Our goalkeeper is going to be Rodrigo Ceni.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You may not have heard of Ceni, but he is a goalkeeper
0:05:07 > 0:05:10who would score free kicks and penalties for Sao Paulo
0:05:10 > 0:05:13in the Brazil league.
0:05:13 > 0:05:23It is a big responsibly.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27For the defender, Roberto Carlos.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31He will take a free kick with the outside of his
0:05:31 > 0:05:33foot, the outside bend.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Roberto Carlos, what a goal!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38In midfield, we will go with another Brazilian,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Juninho Pernambucano, a knuckleball free kick
0:05:41 > 0:05:44player that I looked up to when I learned to free kick.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47The distance from where he could strike a ball was just nuts.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It has gone straight in!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Also Andrea Pirlo.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Such a cool character as you guys know as well.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Oh, what a goal!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And as a striker, you have to have Cristiano Ronaldo
0:06:03 > 0:06:06in your free kick team.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Again, another knuckleball specialist and one we look up to.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And we are on the bench.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17If we get a free kick in the game, who will take it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21That is our five-a-side dream team.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The knuckleball twins.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Amazing.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Thanks, Sammy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:28Thanks, Charlie.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32What a line-up.
0:06:32 > 0:06:39Why don't you try some of those when you next have a kickabout?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Oh, how about trying the coolest way ever to pass a ball?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Here are the F2 boys to show you how.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Hi, I'm Jeremy and I'm Billy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53We are the F2.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02This week's skill is called the backslap, it is a great way
0:07:02 > 0:07:07to pass a ball to a team-mate.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08So, this is how it's done.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The first thing you need to do is flick the ball up, like this.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Secondly, turn your body away from the ball and bend your knees.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17As the ball begins to drop, snap your leg straight,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19connecting the back of your leg with the ball.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21This trick is about timing.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24If you get the timing right, the ball should pop away.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26A little bit like this.
0:07:26 > 0:07:35So, that was the backslap.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41Once you have mastered that, see if you can hit the crossbar.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Wow, thanks.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53I'm going to try that right now.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56If you really want to improve your skill level, then you might...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Wow!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Yes, you know what that means.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Bring on the goals!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04That's quite a bit of skill.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09The boy wonder!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It is a beauty!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16He has placed it superbly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:23A brilliant goal by Dennis Bergkamp.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38There is the volley.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh, it is a terrific goal!
0:08:39 > 0:08:402-0!
0:08:40 > 0:08:45A rocket!
0:08:45 > 0:08:50And that is the breakthrough they were looking for!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Oh, it is a goal!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Incredible.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Diego now for Uruguay.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04And he equalises with a stunner!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Brilliant stuff.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Some incredible goals there.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I wonder how many of those players learned their skills through futsal.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Want to know more?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Here is Arsenal's Leah Williamson tell you all about it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Have you ever wondered how some of the world's best
0:09:25 > 0:09:27players became so good?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'm talking Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo,
0:09:29 > 0:09:35and of course, not forgetting...
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Messi strikes!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39When they were young, just like you guys, they started
0:09:39 > 0:09:40off by playing futsal.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I have come down to Manchester Futsal Club to find out how
0:09:43 > 0:09:48this sport is inspiring a new generation of players.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Futsal is played by an estimated 30 million people worldwide.
0:10:00 > 0:10:07It is always played on a hard court surface.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It is played between two teams of five players each,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14with a goalkeeper on each side.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Recently, studies have shown that futsal players touch the ball 210%
0:10:22 > 0:10:27more times than players playing traditional football.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I think it is quite important because it helps them
0:10:41 > 0:10:45develop technically.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You don't get this at the academies and grassroots.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50This is more freedom, they have skills, but it is more
0:10:50 > 0:10:54doing it in the right place at the right time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You guys are good.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06That was not bad.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It is good to get involved.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11The boys are all really skilled and it shows when they practice
0:11:11 > 0:11:18at something specific, they are miles ahead
0:11:18 > 0:11:21of our ladies team when it comes to certain skills.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22It is really good to see.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Do you enjoy playing futsal more than football?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Well, with football you get more time, but futsal is quick fast.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It is fun, you get to learn lots of different things,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36like how to pass the ball and different skills.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39How long have you been playing futsal?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Around a year.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Three months.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44How did you get into it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I started watching it on telly, and then I realised
0:11:47 > 0:11:54that I could try it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Do you take the skills home and practice?
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Yes.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I feel like we don't have that much time on the ball,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09so we have got to play tough.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Will you carry on playing futsal?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Yes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:12For a long time?
0:12:12 > 0:12:18A long time.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Fantastic.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Futsal played a massive part in developing my skill,
0:12:27 > 0:12:34it is great to see so many more people enjoying it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Thank to all at Manchester Futsal Club, and good luck to Leah
0:12:39 > 0:12:42to Leah as the new season starts this weekend.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Time for more skilful start of the future now.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It is your skills.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51First up is Daniel.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Or should I say Ronaldo?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Straight in.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Now, where is his mum and dad to get his ball back?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59A shot from distance here from James.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Smash!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Great technique!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Luke at the playground, he needs to time this right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Great skills!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10What is Liam finding here?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Top corner!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15And finally, Noah with a crossbar challenge.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Oh, yes, the knuckleball twins would have been proud of that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Let's have another look in slo-mo.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29Brilliant skills.
0:13:29 > 0:13:39Please keep those videos coming in.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Just go to the CBBC uploader at the top of the Kickabout website.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I love this time of year as the end of the season draws closer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:54There is so much resting on every game.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59In the Premier League a Mourinho masterclass on Easter Sunday that
0:13:59 > 0:14:03saw Chelsea boss lead at the top cut to just four points.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06This weekend it is all about Wembley as the big boys fight it out
0:14:06 > 0:14:07in the FA Cup semis.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I can't wait.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09See ya.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10It has gone through to Pedro.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11It is 2-0.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Erickson.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22A tap in!
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Danny Welbeck.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Danny Welbeck finishes in fine style.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Here he comes, Yaya Toure.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And there it is.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34It is Sterling.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Chipping in to Eriksen.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Eriksen!
0:14:37 > 0:14:39A great finish from Christian Eriksen.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44And Kante finds a way!
