Barcelona whizkid Lionel Messi is facing family competition from
nine year-old cousin Bruno Biancucchi.
Biancucchi is already rated a better talent than Messi at the same
age by his club coach, Roberto Ramirez at Renato Cesarini.
"He has the same technical ability as Lionel," said Ramirez,
"except he does everything quicker."
But Dad Claudio says: "It's too early to compare Bruno with Lionel.
I don't know if football will be his career. We'll have to wait and
see when he is 11 or 12 whether he decides to take it
seriously."
