ChrisMD posted nothing new this week, but his back catalog has a particularly useful guest: the man who scored the goal everyone is trying to copy.
In "We Recreated Football's Most Satisfying Goals #2", Peter Crouch joins the attempt to reproduce his spectacular Stoke volley against Manchester City from 2012. "That's all I wanted to do is volley the ball, right from when I was a kid," he says. When his turn comes, he controls the ball on his chest and sends a dipping volley into the far corner. Some challenges benefit from having the original scorer available.
Before that, KSI and Calfreezy join ChrisMD for Declan Rice's curling free kick against Real Madrid, while Theo Baker and a larger crew tackle Michael Essien's swerving strike against Arsenal. The video is approaching four million views and currently draws the most daily views of the channel's older uploads, with "Scoring 1 AMAZING Goal DRUNK vs SOBER" and "FOOTBALL PUB GOLF: AUSTRALIA EDITION" close behind. That changes the picture from our September note, when the Australian outing was doing the most work.
The subscriber count held steady this week, while daily views are slightly above ChrisMD's usual pace. Elsewhere among football creators, John Nellis had a substantial week of subscriber growth; Miniminter's count, like ChrisMD's, was unchanged. For ChrisMD, the activity is in the existing collection, where a free kick, a long-range strike and a familiar volley remain the draw.
