The Iranian has been Arat Hosseini for only five years, but the youngster already has a six pack that many grown-ups will be jealous of. Those steel abdominal muscles, however, were not just there. Arat's father leaves his son, who is also blessed with a pair of golden feet, absurdly hard training with one goal: to become the new Cristiano Ronaldo. The pain must only catch Arat.

A short video of the little Arat went around the world last week. In the video you can see how he dribbles two other boys, and then also puts the ball in the goal. It was a pleasant introduction for many people on the social networking sites, but not so much for the 1.5 million Instagram users who follow the Iranian. His know Arat only too well and also know that the boy does not lead an everyday life.

Arat, despite his young age, already trains himself to death. And in that absurd regime, the father of the toddler plays a crucial role. He wants his son to grow into a star and is already sure that Arat will soon be playing "the best team in the world". And that may take some effort - and pain -, Dad thinks.

Mistreatment

On the Instagram page of the young Iranian you can see which Spartan regime he follows to get in absolute top form. Sit-ups until he has to cry, a grand écart between two seats or other extreme interval exercises: everything passes by.

"Sometimes people tell me that I would be charged with child abuse if I lived in a country other than Iran," said Arat's father in a recent interview. "Others accuse me of using my son to make money, but most people realize that I just want the best for my child. I also like to make a champion of him.

The daddy of Arat says he has a good reason to throw the videos of his son on the internet. "Through the videos poor families can see that you do not need expensive devices to kick it far. You simply have to keep trying and have enough courage. I want to be a source of motivation for others together with my son. "

"My son is very talented and I am sure that one day he will be one of the best footballers in the world. He will reach the top, I know that for sure. "Arat's 'achievements' do not go unnoticed. The toddler was already invited to show his (football) tricks on Chinese television and he also dragged in several sponsors. Wait and see if he can ever put his doodle under a contract with Real Madrid ...
