Naw, man. Don't worry about it.
No disrespect at all.
Trust me, if there is anyone here who knows about disrespectful comments to one's country, it's me. (Long, Long Story)
Anyway, this kid more than held his own at the U-17 WC, playing against kids who were at least 2-3 years older than him. However, all of these comparisons to Pele are a great disservice to Freddy, those are unnecessary expectations to place on a 14 year old.
Yes, he does look a lot older than 14, but you should see these 14 year old kids here in the US, it's mind boggling how developed and big they are.
Just so you know, the football public here in the US has been clamoring for an international superstar of its own, as we've been known really for our Goalkeepers.
I see Adu as being more of a Thierry Henry type of player, because he's going to continue to grow. He could also be a rare breed. A Striker who is bigger than Vieri, a more powerful shot than Ronaldo, and quicker pace than Henry.
That would be a deadly combination if that all comes to fruition.
We'll have to wait and see. I hope all the best for him.
