Krystian Bielik’s tennis ball keepy-uppy skills are absolutely extraordinary

“Don’t try this at home.”

Krystian Bielik’s Arsenal career is yet to flourish, but judging by this video there’s no question his skills are right up there.

The Polish 21-year-old, who has spent the last couple of years out on loan at Birmingham, Walsall and now Charlton, showed off his technique with an Instagram video involving a tennis ball and a kitchen cupboard.

While the video may have delighted social media users, it may not have put a smile on the face of Charlton manager Lee Bowyer.

The former England international has previously criticised Bielik, who plays primarily as a defender or midfielder, for overcomplicating things.

Quoted in the News Shopper last month, Bowyer said: “At times he still needs to play one and two-touch.

“He takes too many touches – Cruyff turns on the halfway line with three players around him, doesn’t need to do that.”
