VIDEO: Palermo's Franco Vazquez pulls off 3 nutmegs in 5 seconds

Palermo's Franco Vazquez appears to be ready for the upcoming Serie A campaign, as the attacking midfielder has progressed from seeking match fitness to humiliating lower-league defenders.

During his side's comprehensive 4-0 victory over Italian minnows Lumezzane, the Argentinian attacking midfielder displayed some flair, casually performing three nutmegs in a five-second span.

The last of the three cheeky moves was unsurprisingly met with a cynical foul by a Lumezzane full-back, as Vazquez was fortunate not to have suffered a worse fate.

Palermo's Serie A season kicks off Aug. 22 with a home tie against last season's surprise side Genoa.
