Christian Atsu: Don�t Compare Me To Lionel Messi

Black Stars new sensation Christian Atsu Twasam is keeping his head cool, despite being tagged by Ghanaian fans as the new Lionel Messi. �Messi is Messi and I am Christian Atsu Twasam,� he told Kumasi-based Hello FM. �Though we might have some things in common, we are two different players. I am still learning.� He added: �The comparison is not affecting me in any way and I am well focused in building my own image and helping the Black Stars and my club to greater heights.� The highly talented Atsu was once again the man of the match as Ghana beat Malawi 2-0 in a South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday. Atsu was groomed at the Gomoah Fetteh Feyernoord Football Academy and the Abdul Hayye Yartey-owned Kasoa-based Cheetah FC before he was transferred to FC Porto.
