About this deal

They said that he was impulsive, that he didn’t integrate into the group. They tore him to pieces. But it’s not like that. Only someone who knows him knows what he feels. When he’s not doing so well Leo is a little bit solitary, he retreats, he withdraws into himself. He was like that even with me sometimes. It was like drawing blood from a stone trying to find out what was going on inside. But no matter what, Leo always made me smile.’ Lionel Messi is a legend – Barcelona’s star player and the world’s best footballer. But when was young, he was so small that his friends called him ‘Little Leo’ and coaches worried he wasn’t big enough. Yet through bravery, talent and hard work, he proved them wrong. Messi tells the magical story of how the tiniest boy in South America grew up to become the greatest player on earth. Since the 1966 edition, no player has scored or assisted in more different World Cup matches than Lionel Messi (13 – level with Brazilian Ronaldo).

Bought this for my 11-year-old grand-daughter as she really likes football, but not much of a reader. To be honest her dad read it to her, he said it was good to read about where it all started for Messi.” 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. Messi respect Maradona who is the best football player inthe world. So, do you have any respectable person? He is too small, too little, too fragile, they said. He can't go all the way, they said. He won't be able to compete under all the pressure, they said. He is a foreigner who won't fit in, they said. How wrong they all were!In conclusion, another name for this book would be The Life Changer, and the author wrote this book to teach people not to give up. Messi didiagnosis mengalami growth hormone deficiency (kekurangan hormon pertumbuhan). Pengobatan penyakit ini menghabiskan biaya cukup tinggi. Klub River tertarik akan bakat Messi dan bersedia membiayai pengobatan dengan syarat membawa surat keterangan dari Newell's. Mereka tidak ingin mendapatkan masalah dengan Newell's. Ternyata Newell's tidak bersedia dan mereka menjanjikan hal lain yaitu... Barcelona.

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. 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. On 24th June 1987, a little boy, weighing 3 kilos, pink and healthy, was born to a modest couple in a not-so modest town of Rosario, Argentina. Argentina have reached the World Cup final for the sixth time, doing so in two of the last three editions of the competition (also in 2014) – only Germany (8) have reached more finals in the competition than Argentina (6 – level with Italy and Brazil). 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?A smiling Messi, pointing his fingers in the air, and a matter-of-fact headline: ‘Messi is the best’. And no one argues. In terms of football, I hope he makes history like Pelé, like Maradona; I hope he goes far, very far. But above all, as a mother, I hope to God he will be happy, that he has a family, that he lives life, because he still hasn’t really lived. He has dedicated himself to football, body and soul. He doesn’t go out, he doesn’t do many of the things that young people his age do. That’s why I hope he has a wonderful life. He deserves it.’ Whether you like soccer or not, Lionel Messi has become a legend that deserves to be written about. AL DÍA recommends six books (available in English and Spanish) to better understand the life and career of this Argentine footballer who traded his Barcelona stripes for PSG blue in 2021. Messi stepped up to the spot, as he did against the Netherlands in the round before, and gave Argentina the lead with an emphatic strike into the top corner. 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.
