Leonardo Faccio does an extremely good job getting the reader into Messi’s head. It is like we can feel his struggle as he goes through his obstacles in life, and when he is happy, we can feel his happiness too. It is very descriptive and gives good in-match detail about some of his more famous games and goals This short but sweet biography on world's best football star is a nice and easy way to warm up to the genre if you have yet to read one. The majority of the book is based off of a single interview done by Faccio with Leo Messi, and follows his football career from his first touch on the ball to his second Ballon d'Or trophy. Messi was very small for his age and had a growing disease and he played for his team Argentina called the “ Newell’s young boys.” He immediately was the best player on the team and also the smallest player on the team.

This little boy loves to play football. That is his story. He wouldn’t grow as a child and was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency but oblivious to it all, he simply remains in love with the ball. From junior Argentinian academies, he is scouted by FC Barcelona, one of the most successful and biggest football clubs across the Atlantic, which agreed to pay for his treatment, something which the native clubs refused to do. So, he leaves with his father and goes on to make footballing history. Without Messi, Barcelona is the best team in the world; When Leo plays they are from another galaxy.' 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.’Julian Alvarez has scored four goals at World Cup 2022, becoming only the second Argentina player to score four goals at a single edition of the World Cup while aged 22 or under after Gonzalo Higuaín in 2010 (4 goals). Messi has become the first player to both score and assist in four separate World Cup matches (since the 1966 edition), doing so versus Serbia in 2006 and versus Mexico, Netherlands and Croatia at this current edition (2022).

Argentinianul Messi se trage dintr-o familie iubitoare si jucatoare de fotbal, dar in primii ani ai copilariei, Messi era singurul din familie care nu avea treaba cu fotbal, iar apoi la patru ani joaca prima data in strada cu ai lui si ii uimeste cu ce poate sa faca. Bunica sa l-a inscris la fotbal, dar cu greu caci era tare micut de inaltime. Pe la vreo 10 ani a fost diagnosticat cu deficit de hormon de crestere. Tratamentul era foarte scump si au avut probleme cu cei de la asigurare in privinta platii, dar norocul le surade si ajunge la Barcelona, iar clubul ii va plati tratamentul. Chiar si asa nu creste mai mult de 1,69 cm. This is the first authorized book about Lionel Messi, and it talks about what has taken him to the heights, the stumbles and sacrifices he had to go through to become the best player in the history of soccer. 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. Speaking after the match, Messi said: "I am enjoying this a lot. I am feeling really good, I feel strong enough to face every match. The previous match was a big sacrifice.
