Lionel Messi - biography of the football player
Childhood Lionel Messi was held in a small town Rosario in a large family. In addition, his parents brought up their sister Mary and the two older brothers, Matthias and Rodrigo. When Lionel Messi was born, and this is June 24, 1987, parents were very happy, despite the fact that they lived rather poorly. Father Messi worked at a metallurgical plant, and his mother was part of the staff. In his spare time, Lionel's father coached the football team. Apparently that's why already in his childhood, Lionel Messi knew that when he grows up, he will definitely become a famous football player.
The boy started playing football at the age of 5. Surprisingly, one of the football clubs was led by the grandmother, who mainly engaged in his upbringing, because his parents were always at work. She saw in him a great football player and believed that he was waiting for a great future. For Lionel Messi, this became not just a hobby, but a real life thing. When the boy was 8 years old, he joined FC Newells Old Boys. Already at the age of 10 he and his team won the Peru Friendship Cup. This was his first serious award, after which began his career.
At school, the boy was an exemplary student, but still most of the time he devoted exactly to sports. To my great misfortune, when Messi was 11 years old, he was diagnosed with a disease called a growth hormone deficiency. The disease significantly inhibited his growth, because of what he was much less than his peers. The family of Lionel Messi spent a lot of money on treatment, so some football clubs that were interested in him, after learning about the disease, refused to buy it. But luck still smiled at him. The disease did not stop FC Barcelona, whose director so believed in the youngster that he fully paid for his treatment. It was in this club that Lionel became the star of world football and won all his awards.
