Manchester City winger Vladimir Weiss insists he'll make Slovakia's World Cup team on merit.

Weiss, 20, is the son of his national team coach with the same name.

He must come from good stock as his granddad - another Vladimir Weiss - played for Czechoslovakia.

Weiss Jr admits being the manager's son brings its own pressure.

He said: "Back home there are a lot of haters.

"I wasn't getting that many games at Manchester City so for my dad to pick me, it must have been a very hard decision.

"There were no problems at all with the other players but there were always people back home not really happy about it.

"I had to prove myself to them and I think I've done that."
