Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante copied Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum party trick with some style while warming up for the game against Napoli.
Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante is a man of many talents and one of them is juggling a piece of chewing gum and catching it in his mouth!
Mirante’s Parma side shocked high-flying Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo at the weekend, winning 1-0 courtesy of a late Antonio Cassano goal.
The Ducali owed a lot to Mirante’s efforts as he made excellent saves to twice deny Gonzalo Higuain from close range.
But it was the ‘keeper’s warm-up routine that has stolen the headlines with many Italian news sources publishing a video of Mirante pulling off an impressive trick in his warm-up.
The Neapolitan goalkeeper is seen spitting out a piece of chewing gum, volleying it up in the air and catching it in his mouth.
Mirante’s chewing gum mastery:
While the trick is impressive, Mirante is not the first to pull it off, Arsenal ace Ozil has performed the same routine on several occasions.
