Lionel Andres Messi was born in Rosario, Argentina, 23 years ago. He is the son of the couple Jorge and Celia Messi. Since the age of five, Messi was playing football with a local club, Grandoli, trained by his father. Messi is naturally gifted footballer, like its rival the moment, Cristiano Ronaldo. Sports bodies and shrewdness
dribble ball not only gained from exercise, but grew up instinctively.

But unlike Ronaldo, who berfisik perfect. Messi as a child experiencing growth abnormalities. He was sentenced to growth hormone deficiency that prevents her height. As a result, until the teen years, height Messi smaller of two years from their peers. Doctors also said that if left unchecked, high maximum Messi will only reach 140 centimeters.


However, despite this, Messi can cover these shortcomings with his talent. When I joined the junior team of renowned Argentine club Newell's Old Boys, Messi is unbeatable in the field. Never in a game he easily passed two big opposing players (ideal posture). His opponent is bigger, the first, easily skipped. Fight them, trying to intercept by using a larger body. But, with a little trick of the foot, Messi with the ball can pass smoothly is that instead dropped his opponent.


Although brilliant in the field, but the physical deficiencies Messi worrying both parents. The father, Jorge, only a factory worker with a small salary in addition to the status Grandoli coached semi-pro. At that time, Massey was undergoing hormone therapy, but the cost for this is not little. About 650 U.S. $ per month. Jorge only able to finance Messi hormone therapy during the first two months. rose from the entire health insurance savings.


The economic crisis experienced by Argentina at that time also makes Jorge little broke. He almost intends to bring his family moved to Australia. But luckily it happens thanks to undo part of a man.
Is Charles Rexarch, Director of Personnel Barcelona who was in Argentina to look for young players with potential. The news about the greatness Rexarch Messi up to the ear. He also met the boy. Despite knowing the physical deficiencies Massey, Rexarch still take him to Spain after seeing action in the field. Messi was then aged 13 years.

Barcelona also decided to finance the Massey hormone therapy until he reaches maximum height. Not only that, they also provide employment to the Massey's father, Jorge, and home to the Massey family in Spain.
Thanks to hormone therapy, Messi can grow to 169 centimeters. High that, although not ideal for a footballer, but a normal height.


In the Barcelona B team, he scored 35 goals in 30 games. Her achievements make it soon got promoted to the senior team in 2004. Not in vain Barca sign him. He became the youngest player ever to score for his team in Spain's Primera Liga in 2005, while down facing Albacete. He was only 17 years, ten months and seven days. He is often compared to Argentina legend Diego Maradona, including by Maradona himself. His goal in the semi-finals of the King's Cup against Getafe in 2007 reminiscent of the "Best Goal of The Century" is printed Maradona at the 1986 World Cup. Spanish media dubbed it "Messidona".


In 2005, Barcelona offers a new contract to 2010 worth € 150 million, € 30 million higher than Ronaldo's contract, which is still regarded as the world's best player at that time. Still in the same year, he for the first time got a chance to perform at the senior Argentine national team, against Hungary. After only 40 seconds showing, she was expelled for elbowing an opposing player Vilmos Vanczak, who pulled his shirt as he ran. Referee's decision to invite controversy. Maradona even openly supported the action Messi.


He became the youngest player ever to appear for Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, in the face of Serbia-Montenegro. Not only that, he also broke the record as the youngest goalscorer in the tournament, and the sixth World Cup history. In September 2005, Barcelona once again extend his contract, this time until 2014. He decided to hold Spanish citizenship (with dual nationality principle adopted for the country, allowing Messi became a citizen of Spain and Argentina as well), and thus could defend Barca in the Primera Liga. Previously, he could not appear because the club has met the quota for non-EU players.


Unlike some star players who enjoy their life as a celebrity, Lionel Messi is a closed figure. Apart from its action on the gridiron, he seldom opened his mouth about his personal life. Messi almost never spit to do with women, but it seems the ball players is indeed a magnet for the model. He now reportedly close to the model Luciana Salazar who was 28 years, after the escape from the Macarena Lemos, who was also a model. But that did not deter the fans to approach him. In Peru, a woman jumped into the front of the upper stands, as he walked out of the field. Messi tried to warn him, but she hurried tumbled in the field, prior to release by security personnel.


Messi is a versatile left-handed player. He was able to perform equally well in the center, wing, as well as the attacker. Speed, ability and vision dribel is world class. Rivalry between him and Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also the best footballer in the world, has become a legend.
