LIONEL MESSI
Lionel Andrés Messi was
born in Rosario, June 24, 1987 is an Argentine footballer who currently plays
for FC Barcelona and is the captain of Argentina's national football team,
playing as an attacker. He is Barcelona's top scorer throughout history.
Messi was born in
Rosario, Province of Santa Fe, from the couple Jorge Horácio Messi, a factory
worker of iron and Celia María Cuccittini, a part-time cleanser. From his father's lineage he came from Ancona, a city in Italy, where his
ancestor, Angelo Messi, migrated to Argentina in 1883. He has two
older brothers, Rodrigo and Matías, and a sister, María Sol. At the age of
five, Messi started playing soccer for Grandoli, a local football club trained
by his father, Jorge. In 1995, Messi joined the Newell's Old Boys based in his
hometown of Rosario. He became part of a local army that only lost once in
four years, and was known as "Machine 87", from the year of their
birth.
At the age of 11, Messi was diagnosed with a lack of growth hormone. River Plate's elite team is interested in its development, but they do not have enough money for its treatment, which reaches $ 900 per month. Carles Rexach, sporting director of FC Barcelona, has found talente Messi because he has relatives in Lleida, and his father set up trials with the team. Rexach, without carrying paper in hand at the time, made a contract offer to Messi on a paper napkin. Barcelona offers to finance the treatment of Messi if he wants to move to Spain. Messi and his father then moved to Barcelona, and he entered the club's youth academy. Messi has been compared to compatriot Diego Maradona, because of their similar style of playing and stature, giving him a lower center of gravity than most players, making him more agile with the direction of faster change, helping him to avoid tackles. ] His short posture and strong legs allowed him to excel in short bursts of acceleration and his rapid pace allowed him to keep control of the ball while dribbling at speed. Former FC Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola, once stated: "Messi is the only player who runs faster with the ball than without the ball." Like Maradona, Messi is the dominant player of the left foot. with the outside of his left foot, he usually starts dribbling runs, while he uses the inside of his legs to complete and provide passing and assists to his teammates
