Neymar and Gabriel Jesus have evidenced once again why Brazilians are world-renowned for their technical ability with a football.

The pair are with their national team for World Cup qualifiers this weekend, and the young superstars decided to warm up in style – count the keepie-uppies if you can.

Outrageous. Can you imagine England’s national team posting something similar? Featuring Danny Welbeck and James Milner perhaps? Maybe not…

Manchester City starlet Jesus, 20, was playing around with Neymar, 25, who became the world’s most expensive player in the summer – moving from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for £200.6million.

Brazil’s next World Cup qualifier is on Tuesday, as they travel to face Colombia – who currently sit second in the South America group, 11 points behind the Brazilian leaders.

Brazil beat Ecuador at home on Friday, with goals from Paulinho and Phillipe Coutinho securing a 2-0 victory.
