Gabriel Jesus is the best young striker Brazil has produced in a startlingly long time. Obviously, this makes him a big deal back home. Brazilian funk artist MC Nego Blue was so impressed by Jesus’s talents that he penned an entire song, “É Gol” (translation: “It’s a Goal”), about the Manchester City man. And despite being on crutches during his recovery from a broken bone in his foot, Jesus made sure to turn out for the music video and awkwardly bounce and sway alongside Nego Blue for what turned out to be a charming if ungraceful performance:

And some of the lyrics in case you’re wondering, as run through Google Translate:

Can you believe

That the World Cup will conquer


We can believe, Nego Blue. We can.
