Lorenzo Insigne wouldn't mind us saying that he's an extremely small man.
Actually, on the below evidence, he likely would, but standing at five-foot-three (1.63m), the Italian international is a particularly diminutive playmaker.
Despite being an absolute weapon of a footballer for club and country, Insigne's perceived insecurities came to the boil at the weekend during Napoli's 5-0 demolition of Joe Hart's Torino, or Torino as they used to be known.
Either by a cruel twist of fate or sinister design, the 25-year-old was assigned an abnormally tall mascot ahead of his side's Serie A fixture at the Olimpico in Turin.
Perhaps feeling a tad self-conscious, Insigne subtly excused himself - and the poor mascot next to him - from Napoli's team photo.
There are suggestions that, in Serie A, the home club assigns mascots to the opposition's players. If so, this is a masterclass in arse-chancery by the Torino oragnisers.
Insigne and his teammates had the last laugh, however; the miniature maestro netted on the hour-mark in his side's 5-0 obliteration of the home side.
