About this deal

Familia se imparte in doua: Messi si tatal sunt in Spania, restul ramane in Argentina. Intampina Probleme cu documentele pentru sedere, iar când incepe sa joace are parte de numeroase accidentari. Apoi norocul incepe sa ii surada si devine cel mai bun jucatoar din lume si asta o dovedește numeroasele trofee si recorduri doborate. Daca la Barcelona străluceste,nu la fel e si la nationala Argentinei, iar conationalii sai chiar ajung sa il huiduie pe teren si sa nu-l considere argentinian. Messi va ramane întotdeauna acelasi baiat simplu si modest chiar daca e cel mai bun din lume, iar esecurile si desconsideratia argentinienilor ii provoacă mari suferinte. In ciuda milioanelor pe care le are el plange cand pierde meciuri importante caci fotbalul nu e doar un job pentru el ci e parte din el; isi tine viata privata cat poate de departe de presa. Un lucru care pe mine a ajuns sa ma deranjeze e cat de des a fost comparat cu Diego Maradona, dar pana la urma s-a vazut ca el e mult mai bun si nu si-a distrus cariera fotbalistica avand in vedere ca la momentul de fata are aproape 36 de ani si inca joaca fotbal ⚽️ Argentinianul Messi se trage dintr-o familie iubitoare si jucatoare de fotbal, dar in primii ani ai copilariei, Messi era singurul din familie care nu avea treaba cu fotbal, iar apoi la patru ani joaca prima data in strada cu ai lui si ii uimeste cu ce poate sa faca. Bunica sa l-a inscris la fotbal, dar cu greu caci era tare micut de inaltime. Pe la vreo 10 ani a fost diagnosticat cu deficit de hormon de crestere. Tratamentul era foarte scump si au avut probleme cu cei de la asigurare in privinta platii, dar norocul le surade si ajunge la Barcelona, iar clubul ii va plati tratamentul. Chiar si asa nu creste mai mult de 1,69 cm.

Lionel Messi faced a major problem with reaching his goal of becoming a professional soccer player. At an early age Messi otherwise known as “La Pulga”, small fly, was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. Seen by many as a weakness was later made into a strength by Messi. Not giving up Messi at the age of 13 found himself getting a contract by a professional soccer club called Fc Barcelona. Treating a growth hormone deficiency takes a lot of money which Messi’s parents didn’t have at the time. Looking pass Messi’s disability the club fully paid for the treatment and brought him and his family to Barcelona, Spain to begin their new life. For soccer enthusiasts and sports fans in general, an in-depth look at the life of the beautiful game’s greatest star, Argentine footballer Lionel Messi. Luca Caioli has written a breathtaking account of Leo's journey from being a growth stunted small boy in remote areas of Rosario to reaching the ultimate glory. He has painted a perfect portrait of Messi, taking help from various first hand sources close to the boy in question. Frankly, I already knew the whole thing from various other accounts and the movie, and this was one of the main reasons it took me like a month to finish this book. Another reason is that I wanted to take in every single detail. And I'm really glad that I took all the time, because the little things I hadn't known were all worth it.The amazing biography written by Leonardo Faccio on the best player in the world gives the reader an overview of how Messi became the best player in the world. Lionel Andress Messi was born on June 24th,1987 in Rosario, Argentina. At the age of only 13 years old, young Lionel Messi was moved to Spain after that Fc Barcelona agreed to pay hormone deficiency treatments. Hormone deficiency restricted Messi’s grown and could not grow as tall as the kids his age. Messi was an amazing player for his age, so Fc Barcelona offered a chance to Messi to train at La Masia and help his parents pay the meditation bills. Messi was an amazing player at the age of 13, he got to the Barcelona Junior team at the age of 16 while that people get there at the age of 18. Messi made several achievements that year, he broke the record of being the first youngest player at Barcelona to score for the first team and also let his national team to the under 20 World Cup. In 2009, Messi led Barcelona to win The UEFA Champions League, The League, and the Spanish Cup. Messi also took home with him his first Ballon d'Or. Messi broke all the records and scored more goals than legends who have played at the club. Today, Messi is the best player in the world, holding five Ballon D’ors, four Champions League, three UEFA best player of Europe, eight leagues, and four Spanish cup winners. Messi was also named a player of the year three times, top scorer fifteen times, one-time Olympic gold medalist and much more wins with the amazing Fc Barcelona team. Finally, one would describe Messi in three words: God of Soccer. Lionel Messi says he's feeling strong after he inspired Argentina to a 3-0 win over Croatia to reach the World Cup final This short but sweet biography on world's best football star is a nice and easy way to warm up to the genre if you have yet to read one. The majority of the book is based off of a single interview done by Faccio with Leo Messi, and follows his football career from his first touch on the ball to his second Ballon d'Or trophy. Little Lionel Messi, oblivious to the politico-economic crisis around him, would find himself always enchanted by round objects; the fascination would begin with marbles and would then turn to football, a fascination from which he will never recover.

The idea that sports stars are role models is a cliché, but is also true in a way that is rarely appreciated. Although the details of Messi's story are already well known, The Art of Living examines afresh and anew his highs and lows, his successes and failures, his ongoing evolution and his endless struggle to succeed. It encourages readers to consider, to analyze — and above all — think about Messi's career from a different viewpoint, understanding how his journey can be related to our own lives on a meaningful and impactful level. Ever since I met him, at fourteen,’ declares Blaugrana defender Gerard Piqué, ‘he has always been the same. He has never thought of himself as the best, but he has always known that we all consider him the best.’ Caioli begins by interviewing Messi's first coach. Messi was given his first opportunity to play a match at the age of five. In 1994, Messi went on to become a member of Club Atlético Newell's Old Boys, the team the family supported and Messi's father, Jorge, played for from the age of 13 until he began his military service. It was later found that Messi had a hormonal deficiency that hindered his body's ability to develop. The bill for the treatment was enormous and Newell's Old Boys was giving Messi's family the runaround after promising to handle it. That's when FC Barcelona came in and were interestered in Messi. Messi and his father then traveled to Spain leaving the rest of their family behind. After making the clubs first team they took care of his medical expenses. A Yes off course! Now Messi is a core of FC Barcelona. I mean he s a key player. His teammate try to support him. I think FC Barcelona is the strongest football club in the world.Now, Lionel Messi is the best soccer player in the world. Many people say he is a 'Maradona 2nd' His height is only 169 cm. It is very short among soccer player. But His performance is dynamic and he can control the ball accurately even if he runs at the top speed. It amazing. I like him and I will enjoy his performance. Secondly, the third-person narrative that is basically used for biographies is interspersed with several conversations and dialogues that are written in a question-answer fashion. Some of these conversations are particularly fascinating, like the one Caioli has with Celia, Messi’s mother, but many simply feel redundant and pointless. Another thing to get impatient with. One diminutive and reserved, the other, tall and theatrical. One with six Ballons d’Or, and the other with five. There’s no doubt about it ― Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best. But which one is better? Thirdly, and this is a big problem, in many of these conversations, Caioli draws a comparison between Messi and Maradona, asking his guest to choose. Again, in all fairness, parallels between the two footballers do exist and it is a question that has come up again and again, but dude! Like in every other conversation? And the answers that many people give are almost always the same. This particular emphasis of Caioli on the Messi-Maradona parallel gets really annoying at times, if not outright frustrating. On 10th August 2021, Lionel Messi's beautiful Barcelona fairy tale came to an end as he completed a dramatic move to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite flourishing in the blue and white of the national side, delivering Argentina their first silverware in twenty-eight years - beating Brazil on their home soil to win the Copa America - Messi endured a difficult first season in Paris.
