The number 10 of Barça and Argentina's team, Leo Messi, he is one of the sportsmen most known arround the planet
To be the best player of the world and to continue with the same humility that when it crossed the Atlantic one when he was 13 years old to come to prove luck in barcelona...
Turns it into a great example for many televisions, diaries, radioes and magazines.
The Argentine star player is a perfect icon.
Two years ago, wowow a Japanese television that has the rights of the Spanish league
it obtained an extensive reportage about Messi, with yielded images of Barçatv and the testimony of relatives, friends, companions and also journalists
They elaborated Messi's very interesting portrait
We now have the opportunity to see the result... For them, Messi is The Legend Man.
The football is the sport with more fans of the planet
It is a pleasure, a pride, and sometimes for some the life itself
Because of it, the players who are considered the best of the world in every epoch, have the necessary charisma to break borders.
Now in barcelona there is the face of a new epoch
He looks like a shy young person as different so many people, but when it has the ball it transforms in another person.
Not it's gone, I do not become more nervous, always I said that it was finding it hard to myself to do very much interviews and signatures, but it's gone...
With a body of 169cm it faces rivals of distant view bigger than he, and beat them one by one
That play in he takes the ball and goes to the enemy's goalkepper, cannot imitate with noone in the whole world
It took part in the World Championship in 2006 with 18 years and 11 months
It has the record of being the youngest player doing a goal with a power since it is Argentine
The next year would be spoken very much and would start doing plays that would turn it into a legend
The entire world would be a voice of admiration
In the Olympian games of Pekin in 2008, the Chinese gave to him a lot of spirits. Already it had turned into a super star
Behind a calm smile, he hides a suffering of younger days
Defying a difficult disease, with 13 years, it separates of his country
Also it experienced the separation of his family and also it has spilt tears on the area of game
I'm sure he has suffered
A very young life but full of difficulties
He overcame all kicking a ball
The man who turned into legend at the age of 20, Lionel Messi, what has he done to get so far?
In Barcelona, under the bright sun of the Mediterranean,
The city where they learned a great number of artists.
Gaudí, Picasso, Dalí or Miró itself.
Many tourists from around the world come to visit attracted by this charming.
Then, drawing the eye significantly, this huge building is the goal of many people.
The Camp Nou, the club's stadium is said to have more fans around the world
This is his workplace
Yes, is something nice when I have to go out and play and especially when people encouraged me, cheers me everytime I play
because he always treated me good from the beginning and.. well, come into this place for me is a happiness.
Lionel Messi, Leo affectionately
The club he belongs to, Barça, has an annual budget of more than 400 million euros
and along with Real Madrid are the two big clubs in the Spanish league.
A competition which is said to be one of the best in the world
Many best players who have played in this league at one time or another in his career.
And in this league such a high level, Messi, even with his great youth, and takes several seasons while an exceptional shine.
His most powerful weapon, no doubt, dribbling.
Once has the ball, goes straight into the goal
He just shredded the enemy's defense
At one point, with a prodigious rate, it leaves behind the counter
and also, with this speed, the ball is hooked up and you can't stop him
These moves, one on one, makes players from other teams, which are supposed to be rivals, can not avoid giving the highest praise
Messi, I think he's one of the best players in the world and he's a very difficult player to stop.
How is it? Very fast
Whenever he has the ball, shows you that something else will happen
Barcelona walking, everywhere you could see the name of Messi
More than a football player, one can say that is symbolic of this city
They say it is a young shy and quiet, but that's only when he's not playing football
Also this day, just start the training, the expression was again extraordinary radiant
He can't do anything, when a ball touches, he enjoys
Also when the biggest players are joking
Someday he'll also want to start a family, but now dedicated exclusively to soccer
His big brother, Rodrigo, who also lives in Barcelona, says this of him...
The whole family is football fans, but Leo, he really has the football soul
He is very capable of this, live fully in football and to death for football
You, look away...
He's the star that attracts worldwide attention, but his face is that of a young
He also knows he has lost the virtue of being young and attract attention
Are you envious of what happens to others? Another boys from your age?
Yeah, sometimes there are moments that I wanna do things, things I can't do, or are difficult to do,
But yeah, there are moments when I think to go out, and do things, and that people do not know me, and do my normal life too...
What would your life if you were not a football player? Ever thought about it?
Yeah, I don't know yet... As I said before, the study was very difficult for me...
I had trouble, I was very vague
To study, learn things, learning languages, for vagrancy... The truth is that I regret but...
The truth is that I always regret it, but I do not ever...
Messi was born in Argentina in 1987
In 2000, with 13 years old, his life began to change as he crossed the ocean and did the tests to enter the FCBarcelona
Carles Reixach, then responsible for the entrance examinations, speaks of that time
I remember we organized a match here, with children who had 1 or 2 years older than Leo...
When I came here they would start the match
And the typical, over the field, turning around, behind the goal...
I got there and I saw Messi, And what I said on more than one occasion, only to get there... I said, You can sign right now
That player has a special quality...
He has great ball possession particularly
There are players who need more than one team to shine
Leo is a player who can play practically alone
Still are images of Messi's stage, in Barca's youth team
Even in 'La Pedrera' of Barça (it means 'La Masía'), where talent meets in Spain, the quality of messi show up.
And also, their goal numbers were higher than others
Good, I scored 5 goals and I hope to do more
Like a Club's Hope, Messi was brought closer to the first team to a record speed
