As an avid football fan, Xi Jinping is not shy about showing off his skills.
During a visit to Ireland in 2012 as China's vice-president, Xi seized the opportunity to showcase his football technique. His destination was the renowned Croke Park Stadium, home to the Gaelic Athletic Association in Dublin.
When invited by a local football coach to demonstrate his skills, Xi accepted a Gaelic football with pleasure and jokingly asked those around him to "step aside."
Amidst a burst of laughter, Xi kicked the ball, sending it soaring through the air.
