After being asked to perform some skill moves for Barcelona fans, Sergino Dest failed to impress in front of the camera initially. In the videos that have since gone viral online, Sergino Dest fails to perform some basic keepie uppies initially. Later on, the new Barcelona right-back tries to execute the 'around-the-world' trick, which went horribly wrong. Sergino Dest inadvertently knocked the ball with his thighs in the process, with the defender then once again failing to flick up the ball correctly.

Fans troll new singing after Sergino Dest video goes viral
While the Barcelona signing managed to recover from his horror start as he showed off some great skill moves later on, Sergino Dest’s initial attempts soon went viral. The footballer was then trolled by many, as they hilariously suggested that Barcelona overpaid for the defender. Many fans also claimed that by looking at Sergino Dest fail while performing simple skill moves, it doesn’t look like opposition teams will have to be worried about the new Barcelona full-back.
Many Twitter users trolled Barcelona fans for comparing the new full-back to club legend Dani Alves, as they tweeted saying that the youngster does not match up to the Brazilian’s skill level.
