Man City whiz Pozo rejects Messi comparison

Manchester City whiz Jose Angel Pozo has dismissed comparisons with Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

The 18-year-old striker came off the bench in the 64th minute of City's Capital One Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday and netted the sixth goal in a 7-0 win.

Asked about the Messi comparison, Pozo responded: "This is crazy. Messi is the best player in the world and I have only played one game for the first team."
