Why is Barcelona willing to pay the sky-high treatment fee for Messi, who is 13 years old and suffers from dwarfism?

Today, Messi is already a figure with numerous honors and the level of king of the ball, but his football road can be full of bumps. You know, he was diagnosed with developmental retardation at the age of 1 1? Dwarf? Even when 13 years old joined Barcelona, his height was just right 140 cm. Because of this congenital disease, almost no team was favored at the beginning, even if Messi was taken a fancy to, it would be discouraged by the high treatment fee, which was considered as an investment that was difficult to return. Then why did Barcelona sign Messi at the sky-high treatment fee?

Messi was born in a working-class family, his parents were Spanish immigrants with Catalan ancestry, his father was a die-hard football fan, and Spanish giants Barcelona were Catalan teams, which virtually created objective conditions for him to join Barcelona in the future.

Peerless talent is the same as many children in South America. Young Messi also loves football very much and likes to play football happily with friends in the street community. Coupled with his father, who is an avid fan and part-time coach, little Messi has made rapid progress in such an environment. At a young age, Messi has outstanding talent and ability. His ball sense and skill are amazing. When I was a child, Messi hardly played football with children of the same age, because his level far exceeded them. Even in the face of children who are much older than him physically and physically, Messi can always use his flexibility and amazing personal ability to score goals. Later, he joined the youth team of Newell old boys Club, which made little Messi famous in the local area. Everyone knows that he has amazing talent. At that time, someone compared him to? Clowns? Aimar made a comparison and even said that he was Diego Diego Maradona's successor. With such a high talent and unique pedigree, scouts from the European giants Barcelona soon came to visit.

Not only was the genius Messi diagnosed with dwarfism at the age of 1 1, but he was later rejected by all teams. Even the parent team, Newell old boys, terminated his contract, thinking that he could not become a football player. Perhaps it was this bumpy experience that tempered his humble and unyielding character. He never complains about his father or mother, but silently endures all this. Later, Messi himself said: I know that I suffer from dwarfism, which makes me very uncomfortable. I have to eat more beef and carrots to supplement my nutrition and help me grow taller. ? This shows that Messi was very sensible when he was a child. But some people say that Messi's success depends only on unprecedented talent, which is obviously not true. It is because of his childhood experience that Messi knows that he needs to make far more efforts than others. Even in the two years of being rejected countless times, Messi never gave up his dream, and he still insisted on personal training every day. Finally, many good things happen. Perhaps it was Barcelona who saw these bright spots in him and chose to help him pay the dwarfism treatment fee in full and sign a contract on a piece of paper towel to attract him, so that Messi's football dream could continue, which made Messi's legendary career in Barcelona.
