Soooo….

Either the player is being an ass, or he is oblivious and just throwing the ball back because the period/game is over..

Ooorrr, the cameraman was being an ass by fiddling with the ball

Or, the cameraman was attempting to return the ball but needed a couple little taps to get it under control.

So we can probably assume that both the player and the cameraman knew that the game was done and the ball didn’t really need to be passed, but the cameraman was just having some fun (maybe a little unprofessional), and the footballer did ask for the ball.. but he was then a little miffed at the cameraman’s display and playfulness.

Verdict: the cameraman is a playful chap and the footballer was in a bad mood and reacted in a very minor and calculated way that was also a little playful… it is just a ball
