Wimbledon player Flavio Cobolli copied a soccer star's celebration. He did this after a bet with his coach.

Cobolli came back to win a game after losing the first set. He celebrated by copying the soccer star's move.

Cobolli said he copied the Brazilian soccer player after watching him play in the World Cup.

Cobolli said, 'It was a bet with my coach. We watched the World Cup and I like the Brazilian player's celebration.'

Wimbledon posted a video of Cobolli's celebration on Instagram. The soccer player replied, 'Love that @Flavio_Cobbo'.

Cobolli posted about his win and said, 'Into the second week... like the soccer player.'

The soccer player, Matheus Cunha, is 27 and plays for a big team. He scored 10 goals in 35 games last season.

Cunha has played for Brazil 27 times and scored 4 goals. Two of these goals were in a World Cup game.

Cunha said his celebration is about surfing, which he loves. He does it to show his happiness when he plays soccer.

Cunha has done his celebration twice in the World Cup.

Cunha will play again on Sunday. He might not start the game because another player is back from injury.

The coach said, 'Neymar can play the whole game... he can play with another player.'

If Brazil wins, they will play England or Mexico next.

Cobolli will play again on Monday. He has already won two games in the tournament.
