In the semifinals of the 2010-2011 Champions League, Barça player Messi received the ball from his teammates, displayed his super dribbling skills, and single-handedly tore open the Real Madrid defense to complete the goal in the midst of everyone's consternation.

Legendary Lionel Messi has created countless spectacular goals, and this is just one of them.

Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina.

He was simply born for football, he loved football since he was a child, he carried it everywhere, and he would use socks, bottles and the like as a substitute if he didn't have a ball.

Playing football is Messi's only hobby, and in every game of football with his friends, Messi can always show his amazing talent in football.

However, although Messi has the talent to play football, his physical condition is very average, and even almost ruined Messi's football career.

When Messi was 11 years old, only 125 centimeters tall, doctors diagnosed Messi with "growth hormone deficiency", commonly known as dwarfism.

If you inject growth hormone regularly, you can overcome this problem and make Messi grow taller normally.

In order to realize his dream of playing football, his parents chose this treatment option without any hesitation.

However, after two years, the Messi family could no longer afford the expensive hormone injections.

And if the drug is stopped, it means that Messi will no longer be able to grow taller, and his football career will come to an abrupt end.

It was at this critical time that scouts Mingglia suggested that Messi go to Spain for training camps in preparation for joining Barca.

On 14 December 2000 , scouts Mingglia met with Barca director Lexa.

Minglia expressed the expectations of the Messi family for signing Barca and urged Lexa to give Messi a clear answer.

"Sir, you have seen Messi's performance, such talents are rare, I don't want a talent like him to end up buried in other unknown teams, Barca is where Messi should stay."

Minglia saw that Lexaki still hesitated, and continued: "I believe in your vision, sir, it is better to issue a written commitment to Messi in your personal name first, so that his family can rest assured and do not rush to join other teams." ”

Lexa agreed and immediately wrote a signing agreement on a napkin.

This is a key "napkin contract" in Messi's life.

Within Barca, there were also several meetings on whether to accept Messi, but discussions were always fruitless.

Mainly considering that signing Messi, it is necessary to bear the cost of his future growth hormone injections, and also solve the problem of Messi's placement housing and father's work in Barcelona, which is a big expense.

But for the 13-year-old Messi, what the future holds, they can't predict.

In the end, Lexachi, the director who still watched Messi play, said a sentence that impressed most people: "If you sign him (Messi), you have a future." ”

Finally, on March 1, 2001, Messi signed a formal contract with Barca, beginning his professional football career at Barca.

And later Messi's performance and achievements fully proved what Lexa said.

It only took Messi 3 years to become Barca's first-line player and stay with Barca for the next 21 years.

Of course, Messi's rapid progress is inseparable from his hard training.

Messi heard that running helped grow taller, so he started a running exercise program accompanied by his father.

Every morning, he runs 5 kilometers plus 20 kilometers of jogging.

At the end of each run, Messi felt exhausted.

Once it rained heavily on the way, Messi wanted to take a taxi back, but his father told him: "Continue your training, let others take a taxi!" ”

Feeling his father's insistence on himself, Messi has exercised more attentively since then, no matter how hard and tired he is, he has never had a trace of lazy thoughts, and insists on physical exercise regardless of wind or rain.

At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Messi held the trophy of the "Ballon d'Or" and said to the fans: "I just want to play better, better." ”

Looking back at Messi's football career, his success is more about Messi's love and focus on football in addition to talent and the support of his family.

In order to be able to play football, he endured the torment of playing growth hormones all the time; In order to improve his playing skills, constantly learn and improve, his dedication to football is amazing and admirable.

In everyone's life, they may be able to encounter things they love.

And if you want to turn your love into your own brilliance, you need continuous focus and dedication.
