Jesus Christ joins Livorno and sets social media alight! 🤣 | OneFootball

It seems that Livorno really wants to put all the odds in its favor.

No, this is not a joke: Livorno has recruited a player whose official name is... Jesus Christ Mawete.

At 19 years old, the young midfielder signed with the Tuscan club this summer, and his name immediately made the rounds on social media, first in Italy... and then well beyond!

Having played for Bra in Serie D (over 80 matches already), the Congolese now has the opportunity to change dimensions at Livorno, in Serie C. However, with such a name, it is difficult for internet users to focus on the sporting aspect...

On social networks, the comments are already pouring in: "Christ stopped at Livorno", "I hope he will walk on water", "we expect miracles from the first day." In short, the fans are having a blast.

Be careful, though: it turns out that Jesus Christ Mawete would be more than just a... peculiar name.

According to observers, he would be a real ball player: with a good volume of play, particularly physically precocious. We are really talking about a sporting reinforcement for Livorno's midfield.

The least we can say is that we are not likely to miss this name on the next match sheets.
