Tekkerz Kid Takeover! MOTD Kickabout

THEME MUSIC PLAYS.

Hello, Kickabouters,

and welcome to a very special show.

Today, I am out and about from

the studio onto the football pitch,

because I'm going to be joined

by one of the Internet's biggest

young stars, who is actually

a fantastic young footballer.

Want to know more?

I'm talking about this guy.

Lorenzo, AKA Tekkerz Kid,

is an eight-year-old footy

superstar from Birmingham.

His YouTube channel has

racked up over 800,000

subscribers and his videos

are millions of years.

As well as honing his skills online,

he also plays for Birmingham City

under nines Academy.

With tekkers like this,

it's easy to see why.

Here he is, Tekkerz Kid!

How are you?

Yeah.

So good to meet you.

Thanks.

Now, what got you into football?

Because you're

obviously pretty good.

When I was little, I used to kick

the ball into a two-foot goal

and then I used to get

into the skills, like the first

thing I practised was a step over.

Then I would run and do it.

Then I got into more

skills and then my brother

and my dad just helped me.

All right, so your brother

helped you, as well.

Yeah.

What is the one thing that

you love about football?

That you can do skills,

get new boots.

Score goals and get

better at football.

I love it.

You're obviously known

for your online videos.

You've got millions of views online.

Yeah.

I love watching your stuff.

Thanks.

Have you got any tips

for capturing skills online?

First of all, you're

going to need a good

camera, a good tripod,

or you could use a phone.

OK.

Practise some tricks

before you do the video.

Then you are going to think

about what you're going to do.

There's a lot of

planning, isn't there?

Yeah.

You can't just go into it,

you've got to be able

to do something first.

Now, I've seen some of your skills.

I've got a few skills myself.

Would you be up for taking

on a few challenges today?

Yeah.

Shall we do it?

Right, let's do it.

While we warm up,

here's what's coming up

in the rest of today's show.

We check out your brilliant skills

videos and pictures.

Tyler from The Dumping Ground

tells us all about his

passion away from filming.

Yep, you guessed it, football.

And of course, there's

plenty more from this guy.

Right, let's get down to it.

Tekkerz Kid, what is

your favourite skill?

Here it is.

Let's have a look.

That's nice.

Can you teach me that?

Can you break it

down so I can do it?

Yeah, for three

minutes practise this.

Then you practise flicking it up.

Then when you can pull it

all together, you go like this.

So the first step I

noticed was this move.

So maybe I should try that.

You said repeat it.

There.

And then from there,

it's that, right?

Then you put them two together.

And then you practise that one.

Let's try.

There.

There.

There.

Yeah, you've got it.

You've got it.

I think we should do a combo, right?

I do freestyle.

One of my favourite tricks

is the around the world.

So why don't I do an around

the world here, knock it off to you,

but this time, you do your move

but this time, finish with a goal.

Shall we do it?

Let's try.

Finish.

That was class.

So if you would like to try

a trick like that, please

send in your videos.

Head to the Kickabout website,

just like Tekkerz Kid did.

Yeah, because a couple of years

ago, I put a video up.

Me and my brother done a trick,

and guys, you can do it

in the garden or on a football

pitch, using a phone or a camera.

So what are you waiting for?

Get in touch.

Tekkerz Kid did it and also

these guys did, too.

Here is Archie scoring

from Guildford City.

A quality free kick, over the wall

and into the top corner,

past a load of defenders.

Top tekkers.

Otis plays for Barrowford Celtic.

And here he is nailing

target practice.

And another free kick

here from Logan.

This time for Tidworth Town Rangers.

What a strike.

Awesome work, guys.

We love seeing your clips,

so keep them coming.

Head to the Kickabout

website to find out how

you can send in your clips.

Right, moving on, this

weekend, there is some

top fixtures coming up.

Tekkerz Kid, who is your team?

Manchester United.

Man!

Me too!

They are doing well.

All they need to do

is get more wind.

Play the ball quicker and get

more chances of scoring.

So aside from United, any other

games standing out for you?

Liverpool versus Man City.

It's going to be a tough

game for Liverpool.

They have to play quicker,

press higher and press faster.

I think Liverpool can stop.

I think it will be 2-2.

I'd take 2-2.

There is another big game.

It's Chelsea versus Leicester.

Current champions versus

2015/2016 champions.

And I think Chelsea are going

to win, only by two goals, so 3-1.

So actually, that game was the focus

of this week's top tekkers vote.

So who will come out on top?

Jamie Vardy or Willian?

Let's find out.

Another goal that has been

taken quite superbly.

Willian scores for Chelsea!

So strong, so determined,

this is Willian.

Chelsea take the lead on the hour!

It's driven in by Willian

for the equaliser.

Willian down the middle.

What a glorious goal.

Willian, lovely little step over.

Brilliant pass!

3-0!

It is 2-0 Chelsea.

It's a long white wall.

It is Willian, and he

scores for Chelsea.

Willian...

Scorcher!

And here is Willian in on goal.

And Willian scores!

Another goal that has been

taken quite superbly.

Great choice, you lot.

Right, let's look ahead

to this week's vote.

It's all about Saints versus Spurs.

They take on each other next week.

So we're asking you to

choose between these two

talented tricksters.

Nathan Redmond or Son Heung-min.

Head to the Kickabout

website to cast your vote.

You've got until 9am on Wednesday

the 17th of January.

We'll reveal the winner

next Saturday.

Right, so we did skills before.

Are you up for a challenge?

Definitely.

So this is the hat-trick challenge.

Five balls, three bins.

Shall we?

Let's do it.

Right, Tekkerz Kid,

you're going first.

Five balls, take your

time, off you go.

Oh, my word, straight in with that.

Nearly completed it.

That is hard, that first one.

Oh, my word.

That is class.

Two.

Tekkerz Kid, he's got in with two.

Straight to the top

of the leaderboard.

I'm not going to lie,

I feel a bit under pressure here.

Here goes.

That was close.

No!

I have to get all these three

in now, big pressure.

Off the post.

You have to score.

It's hard.

You've lost.

You have to at least get one.

Yeah.

Man, that was class.

Well done.

You totally blew me out

of the water there.

I know.

He's too good.

Too good.

I can't believe it.

I think the pressure got to me.

I was a bit nervous.

You done OK.

You definitely need to work

on your bin shot skills.

I need to work on them.

While we do that, let's catch up

with one of the top CBBC stars,

as he went to watch his favourite

football team in this

week's FA Cup game.

Brighton and Hove Albion Football

Club means everything to me.

Brighton is my favourite

football team in the world.

Brighton getting us under way here.

Brighton Football Club makes me

happy and confident.

Hi, I'm Miles, but you guys

might know me as Tyler

from The Dumping Ground.

This is so cool!

Away from filming, though,

my number one passion is football.

This club in particular,

the mighty Brighton and Hove Albion.

My uncle is Chris Hughton

and he's the manager

of Brighton and Hove Albion.

He's been the manager

for three years now.

And since then, he's

brought Brighton from 20th

in the championship up to now 12th

in the Premier League,

which is amazing.

My family, we come to a lot

of games, since Chris took

over here at Brighton,

I've seen them rise

from the championship up

to the Premier League,

it's been really good

and a big part of my family.

The atmosphere at the AMEX

is absolutely amazing.

The fans just get behind the team,

I think it really helps.

The fans just get behind the team,

I think it really helps them.

My favourite Brighton player

would probably be Izquierdo,

which is a new signing,

he came in the summer.

he gets a lot of pace

into the midfield and he sat some

fantastic games and scored

some great goals.

The thing I love about coming

to see Brighton play

is just their play on the pitch.

They like to ping it out wide,

get good crosses and from the likes

of Glenn Murray.

We can get on the end of it.

The defence, like Lewis,

greater long balls.

It's just a great day out, really.

Now, I'm here for a massive

game tonight against one

of our biggest rivals.

It's the third round of the FA Cup

and we're playing Crystal Palace.

It's going to be huge.

My score prediction for tonight's

game is a 2-1 Albion win.

Let's see what these lot think.

Jack, how are you

feeling about today?

Good.

I think we can win.

I think 1-0 Brighton.

3-0 Brighton.

Hopefully, it's going to go 4-1 .

As long as we win,

I don't really care.

Right, it's nearly

time for kick-off.

It's getting very busy here,

and I need to get to my seat.

Come on the Albion!

Brighton getting us under way here.

These two teams bitter

rivals, of course.

The Seagulls and the Eagles.

Good game so far.

Ten minutes in.

We've got our first

goal of the game.

Dan Stevens in the 20th minute.

It's a half-time here

at the AMEX tedium.

Brighton and Hove Albion one,

Crystal Palace nil.

Come on, Albion.

How about that?

It's 1-1.

This game, it's so open now.

It's end-to-end stuff.

Chip that one in.

And forced in on the

back post there.

Come on!

Come on!

Brighton back in front.

There is three minutes

added time now, so let's

hope we can get the win.

And Brighton are through to

the fourth round of the FA Cup,

beating their big rivals by two

goals to one here

at the AMEX tedium.

Full-time at the AMEX

and its Brighton and Hove Albion

two, Crystal Palace one.

What an atmosphere today.

What do you reckon of the game, dad?

Excellent!

What a result!

Get in.

Get in.

Seagulls!

Seagulls!

Seagulls!

What a game!

What a result!

Get in.

Come on, Albion!

Come on, Albion!

Thanks, Miles.

But he's not the only one enjoying

the footy this week.

Take a look at this

from you at home.

The friends at their first ever AFC

Wimbledon game here.

They also played for Gemini

FC and Esther Blues

under sevens together.

Keep up the footy love you two.

Freddie plays for Crawley town

Gatwick FC and recently picked up

trainer of the week and man

of the match trophies after

he scored a massive four goals.

And here is Crystal Palace

fan Harry at the recent

And here is Crystal Palace fan Harry

at the recent home game.

His favourite players

are Wilfried Zaha.

Top stuff.

Right, that's all

we've got time for.

Tekkerz Kid, it's been

a pleasure to meet you.

Thanks.

Share skills with you,

have a kickabout, and well done

on that hat-trick challenge.

Thanks.

I was very, very impressed.

One thing I wanted to ask you.

Who are your favourite footballers?

Messi, Ronaldo and Neymat

because they're all just

ridiculously skilful.

Great choice.

And what better way

to finish the show.

Until next time, see you.

See you.

Messi.

Give it to him and pray.

Oh, and he's done it!

It had to be Messi.

Out of position,

Neymarcan fill that hole.

An established routine.

It's a great shot.

It's the second goal for Ronaldo.
