Liga BBVA travelled to Santa Fe province in Argentina.The origin of one of the football´s geniouses
Leo Messi was born on June 24th 1987, at Italiano Garibaldi Hospital,in Rosario.Little less than one year ago,Argentina had won its 2nd world cup,and in a room like this,there was the proud mother of the future Albiceleste Captain,resting
The house where Leo Messi grew up was located in Estado de Israel street,in the southern zone of Rosario.A neighbourhood of working and humble people.A narrow street where Leo was playing football with his friends at the afternoon
Messi studied in the public school "Las heras",not far away from his home,where entered with 5 years and stayed till his 11,when he migrated to Barcelona,searching his future as a football player.One of the Argentina´s crack´s teachers,Andrea Liliana Sosa,narrated how was Messi when he was going to school
Calm.Very calm.He was not standing out as a pupil,but he was very calm.He was doing his homework because he had to,but he didn't have conflicts etc.
Very shy.He was small,the smallest of all,he was sitting at the front desks.His favourite was the break and the backyard,where he was playing football,before he was so famous,he had been in the back of a newspaper here in Rosario,it's an emotion having had him in the school,and shared moments with him,and seeing him succeed now is very important
If Messi is standing out for something in his life,is for his football gifts.One of his discoverers was Ernesto Vechio,Newell's Old Boys coach during 28 years,and owner of several anecdotes
When I saw Leo with a different attitude and tecnique than any other,but his height and his physique weren't helping him,he was a flea (pulga),he was very tiny,but he had a spectacular tecnique
It doesnt't surprise me,everybody sees what he's doing now.What he does now,he was doing it when young.The same.He was ill,we were playing a game in Torito,and he came and he was on the sidelines,we were losing for 1-0,I call him and I say,Leo are you fine to play,and he says yes,and I say OK,he enters and we win the game.And it was like this.The keeper gives him the ball and he starts eliminating players,when he reaches the keeper,the keeper hurts himself against Leo,he could have scored but he didn't,he stopped the ball,and he asked the ref that they attend the keeper
In Rosario city,they have a dream,see Leo Messi with tha Newell's shirt like Bielsa,Pocchetino or Maradona,as the presinent of the club confessed to us
Really,you see him and you dream that he is wearing the Newell's shirt,but he is very young,there's much time left for him to be abroad,I think that he himself has this vision always,the idea that in any moment he can come back to retire himself
