After a bit of a scuffle and a slight push to the upper chest, he takes a moment to consider his reaction, clutches his neck and then collapses to the ground, as if he'd been stabbed. Maybe he just got the sudden urge to choke himself out briefly for being so truly terrible? We can only hope that's the case.
He's the German Rivaldo...except we're guessing he wasn't quite as good in his playing days.
