Messi comparison to bench
Edwards joined Tottenham at the age of eight, and long before his abilities compared one of the greatest players of all time.
“Gun, his body and the way he plays, he reminds me of Messi’s beginning,” then Sprow Boss Morrisio Pocheto said in 2016.
As often happens, Messi’s comparison proved to be a curse. After the debt mantra with Norwich and Excellessier in the Netherlands, Edwards was released only three years later. The coaches were unrelated to his ability and was concerned about his behavior and timekeeping.
Burnley Manager Scott Parker – who worked with Edwards, “he was a young boy and when you were a young boy and when you are a young boy, but he matures, but he matures and he is mature and no refusal If he does not, he is a special talent. ” In the spurs – told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Without a club at the age of 20, Edwards took a brave decision to go abroad, signing a four -year deal with Vitoria Guirsa in Portugal’s top flight.
There he spent two and a half season – during which he created his European bow in the Europea League – he was signed in January 2022 before the game.
Now under the management of Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim, Edwards’s stock increased significantly – at the point where he was associated with a step for Liverpool.

Edwards joined Parker again 13 years after meeting for the first time, when Edwards were at the Sprows Academy and Parker was doing his coaching badge.
“We had a good relationship, so when I knew he knew [Parker] I wanted me to come, was enough to me, “Edwards said when he joined the Clate.
“Knowing what he likes and how he is, and the fact that Bernley is such a large club in general. It understood.”
Burnley is third in the championship and has created his promotion push which can prove to be a Record-breaking defense.
In 31 league games, Parker’s side has kept 22 clean sheets and scored just nine goals in the top two levels of Spain, Italy, France and Germany.
It is difficult to see a falter attack as Leads Leeds, and the main reason for the Burnley Trail League leaders, however.
Supporters have scored only 37 goals in 31 matches, while Leeds has purified 62.
Turf Moore has been embroiled, so Parker will be hoping that Edwards can wake life in their attack.
Parker said after the match, “He scores the winner, he has been brought in and around the box to give those better habits. This is a good start.”
While Edwards’ Close-Rage Finnish will be one of the easiest goals on Saturday, which he will ever score, knocking the Premier League club is not a bad way for you on your debut.
“It’s coming back in England, playing in the FA Cup,” he said full -time.
“I was well ready. I knew that I am going to play today, he [manager Scott Parker] Told me yesterday, so I was just coming and coming to what I do. ,
