Fred Adu, anyone? Seriously MCFC is calling this kid the next Messi? If there is anything that could weight a talent down, it would be this. The crazy amount of hype from the US is just insane. Why can't they just let this boy grow into his game mentally, physically and in soccer skills and intelligence.. If anyone had watched a real Messi growing into his game, it would be Guardiola and you can bet your bottom dollar that he wouldn't be calling an American 14year old a future Messi.
You cannot call anyone Lionel, Messi. It’s so ridiculous that you can compare anybody. Messi is the greatest in this generation. He’s not just the greatest in the world but off the generation. There’s a big difference. If you don’t know anything about football dump post things like this.
They should never place a label like this on a kid. Its not fair to him. Messi is very good, the GOAT but he also was very lucky not to get injured most of his career. Its very hard to repeat a career like his when there are many factors this kid will not be in control of. No one knows if he will be the next Messi, even if he has the talent and skills to be compared to him at a young age. It takes lots of luck to have a 30 year career like Messi. This kid can get injured and never come close to accomplishing what Messi has. They should never place any labels on kids this young.
the moment you start calling or comparing someone after someone else you have lost that person forever..... STOP putting this kids on such a spot light, let them Become the Sullivan, let them build their own brand, stop comparing them to unicorns so that they can become their own unicorn
Let the kid be Cavan Sullivan. Let him find his own thing. Fucking Media is this kid is the new Messi, new Ronaldo, new whoever. Find something else to write about or at least write about it better. Stop comparing kids with stars and maybe talk about their strengths as a youth. stop comparing
eh stop naming kids next Messi lmao. But he is good tho. Has generational talent potential, depends on how his associates handle his career. Man city, Ajax, Benfica, all these academies would be perfect for his development
I hope the best for him but it's crazy to label him this way at this age. Maybe he becomes what they suggest but the odds are against him and the pressure will mount. Lift him up as a prospect but comparing him to Messi is kind of crazy. Some say Messi is the GOAT and while I would argue that, an American kid will only achieve a level even close if he is super hungry and willing to run through a brick wall to achieve greatness and most privileged Americans don't have that kind of hunger. It's why Brazilians and others from S America succeed. Again, I hope he proves me wrong and makes it in Europe. Will be a big fan if he does.
No you havnt. If you've ever played the game clown, you can take 1 look at his ball handling and strength and instantly realize he's a freak of nature.
You really cant count on young talents until they go through puberty. Kids change attitude changes and priorities change. Hopefully he continue to grow and develop but hold on ppl for few more years.
Has anyone realised that it's pretty much a ROLLER COASTER when it comes to calling kids the next Leo Messi or CR7? Stop getting to these kids heads. Let them grow and develop. We've seen this happen millions of times before with other wonderkids. And they do it while the kid is still like 10 yrs old or something like that. Then the future comes and we see thst it was just because yhe other kids were still developing too. And the talent isn't there no more
Messi was signed at Barcelona at 13 when all of the most legendary players were present which the new generation are copying their skills from so dont compare him with messi or ronaldo and also to any one else
I hate how everyone throws Messi's name around as a comparison to these young, untested prospects. You might want to aim a little lower than Messi. It's not fair to Messi, and it isn't fair to the prospect. Anyone want action on whether this kid's career will equal or surpass Messi's career? Where have I heard this story before?
They show him do a no look pass to the left that looks cool but was not actually a great pass. The timing was off and it didn't work. Now. That being said, he has really great skills for his age and will be a good pro player most likely. Messi is premature
No he won’t. For those of you that don’t know: this kid is 5’-2”!!! His frame and size will be his handicap . I don’t see him being effective or successful in the EPL. He will literally get run over.
Not he’s not he wanst measured for while when it said that. He is 5’7 and still growing (wouldn’t expect him to be too tall his 20 year old brother is 5’10 I think) but anyways Messi is small too.
He has a lot of potential his not the next the next Messi his the next world champ Sullivan if he surrounds him self with team players that let there ego to the side and understand roles
Can only guess, Messi comparison is a keyword attempt at more views. Whats Irish Connection? Sullivan and first name Cavan. Maybe he can declare for Ireland.
Father is Irish, not enough for his citizenship. He can choose from Bangladesh, Germany, or USA, but I’d be shocked if he chose anything but USA from what he has said.
Why are they hyping this kid that much? He's great. He is no Messi. Can he be? Maybe. I hope he becomes that good so I have exciting soccer to watch. But it's no good to hype like this.
Really? The new Messi? Probably not even gonna be the next Zidane. Not even Florian Wirtz will get that status let alone a 14 year old. Just saying....Messi is not just some left footed guy you can replicate for being good with the ball.
No he won’t. This is why The Americans star players only get better once they’re older. Sullivan needs to be at an academy. This is why he won’t be better than Messi. Later on in life when he is much older then yes sure he has a chance to be for that period.
With all due respect he will never be fit to lace Messi's boots. He might become a top flight pro - maybe an international. Let's let him reach puberty first.
Questionable decision by this kid--American players keep getting bad advice.l What happens when Pep moves on before he ever gets to the first team? He would have been better served going to Barca, RMadrid or Dortmund.
He could be the best in history if you let him be himself and beat himself not compare to other players like messi , because we all know messi was a drug robot he has been treated for few years with drugs
Glad we have a wonder kid, however, I really hope to is country do not over hype him. Him being in a top European league should keep him level headed, however, I really don’t feel Premier League is the right choice for developing skilled players. La Liga will always be the best league for developing skilled dribblers in Europe with the Netherlands, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Serie A being the best alternatives.
hes no messi lol watching him play he is just above average as far as the world goes he will be a great player but in 5 years we will seee that he will be akin to a frenky dejong not messi
Messi is a Once in a lifetime player! there be another like him
Why do u call everyone the new messi he's not really like him and your just putting more pressure on him
Agreed, it's annoying.
Bro you told the Truth because there is no one who can be like Messi
@@AhmedMohamudMohamed-xq9zc Yeah pretty much lol

Shit up
Love Sullivan ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🤲
I Think many people forget Freddy Adu And many who at a Young Age was Hype by the Media and was Burn by the time they was in their 20’s
Cavan Sullivan is a Bangladeshi origin, becouse his mother is Bangladeshi by birth .I hope he will be join the Bangladesh National Football Team.
It’s good to see this!
If your in the USA you gotta give this kid his props he's balling 👍🏽⚽
Atp everyone is Messi to you

Loved his work in Florida ….. The Golden Spike
Messi is Messi, no one else
Let this amazing player be himself these title only hurt new players on the way up.
Sullivan is Bangladeshi, he was born in Bangladesh, his mother is Bangladeshi, we want to see him in the Bangladesh national team 🇧🇩🥰🇺🇲

It has begun
always hard to tell until they're done growing physically.
He’ll be like Freddy Adu
Adu was too short
Imagine him being selected for the world cup 2026 as a 17 or 18 yr old
It's okay to hype him up and hoping he will not be a future flop
I feel bad for this kid. Nobody can live up to Messi.
Remember there always younger kid that is better then Messi or Ronaldo
I hope the best for him but it's crazy to label him this way at this age. Maybe he becomes what they suggest but the odds are against him and the pressure will mount.

Hes 14 and looks more masculine than me at 38 😂
All hype, Messi is once in a lifetime... Never see another..
Probably another Adu
If he can score just as well as playmake at the highest level then he’ll be like Messi
He's far more skilled at 14 than Messi was so there's that.
@@dherman0001 no he’s not so there’s also that
And Freddy Adu was the next Pelé 💀💀
New Freddy Adu until proven otherwise. But good luck to the kid!
Seen kids 10x better in 89-92 age group for United States 🇺🇸
No you havnt. If you've ever played the game clown, you can take 1 look at his ball handling and strength and instantly realize he's a freak of nature.
Probably basing it off of pure athleticism. Those guys fall of when they reach a higher level.
Remember once they got a guy who called "AMERICAN PELÉ"😂
Look up what age was Messi debuted for FC Barcelona about 20 years ago....
Ive heard this so many times😂
You really cant count on young talents until they go through puberty. Kids change attitude changes and priorities change. Hopefully he continue to grow and develop but hold on ppl for few more years.
Send him to South America for a season and we'll see how fast he wakes up .

The way he plays , you can maybe say dybala or griezmann

Why do people always want to say this is the next Micheal Jordan or Lebron or Messi. Why dont we just say this player has the potential to be great.

People need to stop hyping this kid so much and let grow first. Hopefully he doesn’t turn out to be another Freddy Adu
nobody is really doing anything to be honest
We stop calling every American Captain America?
no
This Dude reminds me Freddy Adu
Now let's not hear any more about him until he turns 18.
They show him do a no look pass to the left that looks cool but was not actually a great pass. The timing was off and it didn't work. Now. That being said, he has really great skills for his age and will be a good pro player most likely. Messi is premature

hes 14 he will still grow....and literally everyone in his family is 6 foot.
He's 14. Of course he's 5' 2" lol
Not he’s not he wanst measured for while when it said that. He is 5’7 and still growing (wouldn’t expect him to be too tall his 20 year old brother is 5’10 I think) but anyways Messi is small too.
Clubs with a lot of money will never appreciate their academy players .they will run after the big names ,so these players will leave.
City academy is great ….
Happy that he has been signed today. Sorry. Right now. Come in City...
He’s a midfielder, not a winger like Messi?
He has a lot of potential his not the next the next Messi his the next world champ Sullivan if he surrounds him self with team players that let there ego to the side and understand roles
I mean, he is just a Sullivan
Can only guess, Messi comparison is a keyword attempt at more views. Whats Irish Connection? Sullivan and first name Cavan.
Maybe he can declare for Ireland.
Father is Irish, not enough for his citizenship. He can choose from Bangladesh, Germany, or USA, but I’d be shocked if he chose anything but USA from what he has said.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Over hype incoming. Oet him progress naturally.
The next messi is messi son
Why cant bro just be Cavan ?
Big time USA from Texas let’s hope so but not a chance in hell
Why is everyone to the next messi
NEVER you just cursed the kid for saying he is the next messi!! it just wont happen
Freddy Adu, Freddy Adu, Freddy Adu. Let's put on the breaks.
How to destroy an aspiring footballers career.......compare him to one of the top 5 footballers of all time......ridiculous.
don`t jinxed the kid

just here to comment: NO
He is good. Very good maybe. But to describe Messi you gotta look in a different dictionary.
An AM is a False 9. Just saying...
wc 2030. US will be a dark horse.
Hopefully he can stay away from partying too much; this is usually what detracts from what would be a prodigy.
Looks small and slow he’ll peak
Ameeeerikahn
Is this your real voice or AI? Seems fake... and so annoying
I’m going to be honest if he plays in America , money got him there not skill
There's maybe a 10% chance he ever starts a game for a European team. And you're calling him the next Messi.
I mean, let's be fair. What European team are we talking about. He could start now in some leagues.
@@JJ-nu8qi He might start for teams in the 3rd or 4th level of English football
