That is just how this little kid rolls, according to his mom. 

"

He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. 

"

Muniz continues to exceed expectations, not willing to consider himself with a handicap. He even has ankle prosthetics, but the report states he ditches those to play soccer, even against older kids. 

Muniz appeared on the hit Brazilian show TV Globo, where officials for Barcelona saw his story. He then showed off his skills at a training session in Saquarema. 

By then, Catalan officials were so moved that they offered him an invitation to travel to Barcelona's September academy. There he will get a chance to see all the players he would consider putting on a dream team of sorts. Here is the wonderful side Muniz would pick if he were the Catalan manager:

"

Me, Messi, Dani Alves, Villa, Iniesta, Xavi, Victor Valdez, Adriano, Puyol, Pique, Mascherano and Sanchez. 

"

There is simply no reason to count him out of that lineup.
