As a teenager

At the age of 7, this little guy was highly praised in the Newell's Old Boys team. But Messi was diagnosed with a developmental hormone deficiency at the age of 11, which stunted his bone growth. The family's financial situation could not bear the cost of little Messi's treatment, so the family decided to immigrate to Spain to find a solution. In September 2000, Messi, who was only 13 years old and only 140cm tall, went to Barcelona for a trial training. During the trial period, Messi's performance conquered the Barcelona youth team coaches. They couldn't wait to sign a work contract with Messi that would not expire until 2012, but they forgot the relevant FIFA regulations for players under the age of 20. You are not allowed to sign a work contract with a club for more than 5 years. Barcelona Club has made great efforts to help Messi grow up. With the treatment arranged by the club, Messi has reached 1.7 meters in height in 2003. The Catalans did not hesitate to register him with the club and arrange for him to receive treatment at the medical department. In 2008, the 21-year-old boy from Rosario had grown to 170cm.

In a friendly match in November 2003, Messi, who was only 16 years old, made his first appearance for the Barcelona first team. But it was a year later that Messi played for the Barcelona first team in an official game - in October 2004, Barcelona played against Espanyol in La Liga. Messi replaced Deco in the 83rd minute, and he was 17 years, 3 months and 22 days old. The age of debut also makes the Argentine teenager the second youngest player to represent Barcelona in the league. The only one who surpassed him was Barcelona's legendary Filipino striker Alcantara, who started playing for Barcelona's first team at the age of 15.

Club career

Messi's career reached a turning point in the 2005 World Youth Cup. Messi shined in the game. Messi scored 6 goals in that tournament. goals, two of which were scored in the final. In the end, he not only helped the national team win the championship for the fifth time in history, but also won the top scorer and most valuable player awards of the tournament.

After winning the championship, Barcelona began to reuse Messi, and Messi even got a new contract that extended to 2012. Messi officially played for the Barcelona first team in October 2004. In May 2005, he scored the first goal in La Liga against Albacete in the league, breaking the club's record as the youngest goalscorer. In the 2005-2006 league, when Barcelona played away to Real Madrid, another strong team in La Liga, Messi's movements on the court indirectly reduced the enemy club's assists. As a result, Real Madrid lost 0:3 at home. Against Barcelona. On March 12, 2007, Messi showed his superb skills in this "national game". Real Madrid led Barcelona three times in an away environment. The home team forced a 3-3 draw with Messi's hat trick. Not only did he become the first Barcelona player to score three consecutive goals in the El Clasico in 13 years after former Brazil international Romario, he was also the sixth player in history to score three goals in the game. [1] In the first round of the Spanish Cup semi-finals on April 18, 2007, between Barcelona and Getafe, Messi passed five Getafe players (including the goalkeeper) from the backcourt, and then shot from a narrow angle. Entering the empty goal to help Barcelona win 5:2. Many media compared this goal with Maradona's goal of the century in the 1986 World Cup.

National team career

He made his first appearance for the national team against Hungary on August 17, 2005, but received a red card shortly after his appearance. Messi was selected for the Argentina national team in the 2006 World Cup. The Argentine media pointed out that he has the ability to become a regular selection for the 2006 World Cup team. However, Messi did not become the main choice during the World Cup, but he came on as a substitute in the group match against Serbia and Montenegro and scored a goal. In the World Cup, Messi fully demonstrated his skills, but due to injuries, Messi was not able to give full play, but he is still regarded by the outside world as the most eye-catching young player in the World Cup. Unfortunately, the Argentine national team lost again to Germany in the World Cup, and Messi failed to play in the game. This is considered to be one of the reasons for the Argentine team's failure. Messi participated in the 2007 Copa America and lost 0-3 to Brazil in the final and finished second.

Messi is now the soul of the Argentine team and the absolute core of Argentina's impact on the 2010 World Cup.

Sports career

In 1995, the young Argentine forward began his football career at the domestic Newells Old Boys Club.

In 1998, he was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance. The monthly medical expenses of 900 US dollars discouraged the River Plate club that originally favored him, and also overwhelmed his originally not wealthy family.

In 2000, little Messi’s family crossed the ocean and came to Barcelona, ??hoping to find a way to survive in the Iberian Peninsula. Facts have proved that this decision was correct, and little Messi joined the Barcelona U14 team. He fully demonstrated his extraordinary talents and achieved surprising results in every age group. He was quickly promoted to Barcelona's C team and B team like a helicopter, and then was promoted to Barcelona's first team.

In the 2003-04 season, Messi, who was only 16 years old, made his debut in a friendly match between Barcelona and Porto of Portugal. Next, in the 2004-05 season when Barcelona won the league championship, Messi won the opportunity to play for the first time in an official game in a crucial Catalan derby: that was October 16, 2004. , Barcelona defeated Espanyol 1-0 away from home. As the number of injured players in Barcelona's first team remains high, members of the reserve team have more opportunities to be called up, which has also made Messi a frequent visitor to Barcelona's first team.

On May 1, 2005, Messi scored the last goal in Barcelona's 5-0 victory over Albacete, thus becoming the youngest player to score in the league in the club's history: At that time, he was only 17 years, 10 months and 7 days old.

In the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, Messi led the Argentina team to win the World Youth Championship for the fifth time with his outstanding performance. He himself also won the top scorer and best player at the age of 18. At the age of 10, he immediately attracted the attention of the world.

In 2008, Messi led Argentina to win the Olympic men's football gold medal.

Messi won the World Youth Championship Golden Boot Award

On August 17 of the same year, he made his adult national team debut in a friendly match between Argentina and Hungary. .

After re-registering during the winter break of the 05-06 season, Messi's jersey number was changed from No. 30, which has a strong youth team color, to No. 19. However, he will still wear it in the Champions League. No. 30 jersey until the end of this season. In September 2005, Barcelona renewed Messi's contract until 2014.

In the 2005-06 Champions League match between Barcelona and Panathinaikos, Messi scored his first Champions League goal in his career.

On April 18, 2007, during the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Barcelona and Getafe at home, the Camp Nou stadium, which could accommodate 100,000 spectators, was only about 50% full. . Although this was just an insignificant game in the eyes of most Barcelona fans, on this day, Camp Nou once again witnessed a great moment: in the 29th minute of the game, Messi got the ball in midfield and passed two A long-distance attack by a Getafe player, and then faced with three Getafe defenders who stepped forward to double-team, Messi once again nimbly dodged through the crowd and entered the penalty area. After dunking past the attacking goalkeeper Luis Garcia, Messi used his right foot to send the ball into the empty goal! A goal that is exactly the same as Maradona's goal in the 1986 World Cup when he rode thousands of miles alone to score the goal of the England team!

In the 2007 Copa America, Messi performed well.

In the match against Mexico, he left a deep impression with a wonderful lob. Although he unfortunately lost to Brazil in the final, I believe that young Messi still has enough time and ability to win this championship trophy for Argentina.

In the summer of 2007, Messi accepted Pepsi's invitation and came to China for a two-day promotional event. During this period, Messi was warmly welcomed by Chinese fans and was crowned the new football king.

Messi has replaced Ronaldinho as the core of Barcelona since the 2007-2008 season. In the vigorous awards craze at the end of 2007, Messi won the recognition of multiple awards for his outstanding performance in 2007, including the third place in the Ballon d'Or and the second place in the World Footballer. For a young man For the 20-year-old Messi, it is definitely something worthy of pride and glory.
