About this deal

This book is a must read for many who are looking for inspiration or just for anybody looking for more information about their idol. Just about everyone knows who Leo Messi is, and I think it would be great for people to know his story, and how he made it into the big league. Op de achterflap staat dat de schrijver de voetballer 'drie jaar' volgde, maar dat blijkt te betekenen dat hij hem één keer een kwartier interviewde (toen Messi daar weinig zin in had) en daarnaast bij onder meer een commercial-opname was, een uitreiking van een Ballon d'Or en een rechtbankzitting in de belastingzaak tegen Messi en zijn vader. However, Messi was given a trial with Barcelona, and coach Carles Rexach was impressed – offering Messi a contract (written on a paper napkin!

Lionel Messi added to his already impressive list of soccer accomplishments on October 30, winning the Ballon d’Or as the world’s top male player for a record eighth time. I can relate to this exact scenario as I too am growth hormone deficient and am lucky enough to combat the deficiency with drugs. After helping Barcelona achieve a historic second treble in 2015, he was honored with his fifth Ballon d’Or trophy. Throughout the book the reader not only is exposed to key moments that made the player but also real interviews between the author (Leonardo Faccio) and the great Lionel Messi himself. In June 2016, a very disappointed Messi announced his retirement from international football, after missing a penalty as Argentina got knocked out of the Copa America final.In this book, Faccio has written not only a biography of an enigmatic celebrity, but a meditation on athletic genius, drawing on interviews with Messi himself, as well as with everyone from his family, teammates, childhood friends—even his favorite butcher. All of a sudden he moved to Barcelona, his medical treatments were paid, and he became the best soccer player in the world. Messi was named the Best FIFA Men’s Player for a second time and broke the record for most World Cup appearances with 26 games.

Earlier in the year, the club suspended and fined Messi after he visited Saudi Arabia on an unauthorized trip.

It goes back to when he was a kid back in in Argentina and the problems he went through up to right now being the succesful man he is now. However, as he overcame it, his confidence grew as he quickly moved up the ranks all the way to the first team. The book first start of with ling us about one of the vacations that the young argentinian took his family too and they went to disney land. 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.

Admired around the globe for his athleticism, skill, and fierce competitiveness, Messi has, at the age of 24, already shattered records at one of the most storied clubs in the world, FC Barcelona.After a disappointing first game, when Argentina unexpectedly lost to Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi was key to firing Argentina to a 2-0 victory over Mexico, with Messi scoring an excellent goal. On June 30, 2017, Messi married Antonella Roccuzzo, his longtime girlfriend and the cousin of his best friend and fellow soccer player Lucas Scaglia.
