Who will be La Liga Player of the Year this year? Who will be FIFA
World Player of the Year? Will it be Lionel Messi?
Lionel Messi was born in Argentina in 1987 and he started playing
football at a very young age. His father was a football coach and
Messi played for his fathers team at the age of five. Three years
later, Messi moved to a different team because he was very talented
and needed a better club. But Messi had a terrible problem. He was
very short for his age smaller than a normal boy. His doctors
wanted to give him special medicine, but his parents didnt have
enough money. Fortunately, someone from a Spanish team, FC
Barcelona, saw Messi play. The man was impressed and wanted
Messi to move to Barcelona and play football there. The Spanish
team agreed to pay for Messis medicine, too. So Messi and his
family moved to Spain. Lionel Messi was only 13 years old.
Today, Messi still plays for Barcelona and he plays for the
Argentinian national team. He hopes to play in the Olympics, too.
Hes famous because hes an amazing player and he scores so many
goals. If Messi continues to play well, perhaps he will be more
famous than Diego Maradona one day.
