The only piece that was missing in the Lionel Messi museum is also completed

10 leagues in Barcelona, ​​7 Spanish King’s Cups and Spanish Super Cups, 4 UEFA Champions Leagues, 3 UEFA Super Cups and FIFA Club World Cups, one league each in Paris Saint-Germain and French Super Cup, Copa América victories of the Argentine National Team with ‘… The only and main defect of this magnificent structure, the FIFA World Cup, is finally in the Lionel Messi museum.

Lionel Messi, whose name is widely known along with Argentine legend Diego Maradona and Brazilian Pelé, who passed away two years ago, is the only flaw that can keep him from this level in his successful career, finally reached the World Cup. .

The World Cup, which took off at the hands of Maradona for the last time in Argentina in 1986, took off at the hands of his successor Messi 36 years later.

SETS MANY RECORDS IN QATAR

Contributing to more than a thousand goals with his goals and goal passes throughout his career and without leaving an unbroken record, Messi managed to be the protagonist of Argentina reaching the World Cup at the end of penalties despite his advanced age.

In addition to being selected as the best player in the tournament hosted by Qatar, Messi, who became the player with the most appearances in the tournament’s history with 26 matches, went down in history again with letters of gold as the first player to score a goal in each stage (group and successive qualifying rounds).

The living Argentine legend, who already has 7 goals in the League and 4 goals in the Champions League, starting this season very well at Paris-Siant Germain, where he started playing after leaving Barcelona, ​​became the top contender for the title . prize again.

YOUR GREAT GREAT WAS THE GREATEST SUPPORT

Lionel Messi did not reach this faultless career, which he successfully wove, thread by thread. Born in Rosario, the largest city in Argentina’s Santa Fe province, in 1987 as the third of four children to a steel worker father and a mother who worked in a magnet production workshop, Lionel was introduced to soccer at a very early age.

Messi, who began his football career at the age of 4 with the local team Grandoli, managed by his father, who also played football as an amateur for a while, was the most important member of his family who encouraged Messi to play the sport, his grandmother Celia, who took him to training sessions and games without interruption.

Messi, who proved to be the best player in a short time despite being the shortest player on the team in his childhood, experienced the first big scare of his life when his grandmother passed away before he was 11 years old. Impressed by this event, Messi kept remembering his grandmother pointing to the sky in goal celebrations throughout his career.

HIS ILLNESS CAUSED HIS TRANSPORTATION TO BARCELONA

A few months later, Lionel Messi faced the second biggest problem of his life. Diagnosed with “growth hormone deficiency,” which occurs when the pituitary gland does not secrete enough growth hormone, Messi faced far less of a physical development threat than his peers.

When his family’s financial situation was not enough to cover this disease, which is expensive to treat, many soccer clubs in Argentina offered to pay his health expenses on the condition that Messi be registered in their infrastructure. However, the great upheaval that the country’s economy was going through at that time caused these clubs to withdraw their offers.

The Messi family had some relatives in the Catalonia region of Spain. After meeting with representatives of a player monitoring firm, Father Jorge sent a video of Messi throwing oranges and tennis balls at Barcelona through them.

Barcelona, ​​which was involved in the process, guaranteed that Lionel would cover his medical expenses, as long as he came to Spain. This is how Messi moved to Barcelona with his family at the age of 13 and entered the club’s world-renowned youth academy, La Masia.

It was not easy for Leo, who has an extremely shy character, getting used to Barcelona. Messi, who was initially seen as “mute” by his teammates due to his silence, was working much harder than anyone in training.

Messi, who was injected with growth hormone every night to increase his height, endured this painful treatment for three years because of his great love for soccer.

THE FIRST AGREEMENT WAS WRITTEN ON NAPKINS

Messi’s first contract, which began to grow at a rate similar to that of his teammates after treatment, was written on a napkin by Carles Rexach, a former striker at the club and one of the scouts at the time. Thus began the career of the Argentine star who became one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Having the opportunity to play at the same time with stars who went down in football history such as Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Cesc Fábregas and Gerard Piqué, Messi played an important role in living through one of the golden ages of Barcelona’s history with trophies. what a win (AA)
