LIONEL MESSI Written and researched by: Ricardo Quintanilla

LIONEL MESSI Lionel Andres Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in Rosario,

Argentina. At the age of eleven. Lionel Messi was told by the doctors

that he had a human growth hormone problem. After that Lionel

Andres Messi signed a contract with the Spanish club team FC

Barcelona. The team told him that they would pay his treatment. So

his family and him moved to Barcelona, Spain where he played with

the Barcelona youth soccer team. In the 2004 Lionel Messi made his

league debut in the 2004 when he started in his professional soccer

career. Messi got his Spanish citizenship, but still kept his Argentine

citizenship. In the 2006 Lionel Messi was the youngest player to play

in the world cup.

Lionel Messi is the best soccer in the world. Why is Lionel Messi the

best soccer player in the world? Lionel Messi has been awarded by

the FIFA with the ballon d’or. The ballon d’or is a golden soccer ball

awarded to the best soccer player of the year and Lionel Messy won it

in the 2009 and in the 2010. Lionel Messi with his short age he is the

best player in the world. After in the 2009 through 2010, Lionel Messi

scored 38 goals in the season, he also helped Barcelona wins “la copa

del rey”. Lionel Messi is an amazing soccer player. He is the best

soccer player in the world.

Why is Lionel Messi so short? Lionel Messi is short because he has a

human ½ or else he would’ve been taller. This hormone is a hormone

that everybody has hormone makes you grow through puberty. They

found Lionel’s problem at the age of eleven, but that doesn’t affect

anything else.

What team was Lionel Messi’s first professional soccer team? Lionel

Messi’s first professional soccer team was the youth team of FC

Barcelona. Then Lionel Messi was put in the professional soccer team

that he is in right now and that team is FC Barcelona. After he was

called to play in the international league with the team Argentina.

These teams are Lionel Messi’s professional soccer teams.

After all I admire Lionel Messi because he puts all his efforts to play

with his teams. Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and his

problems don’t bother him when he is giving all he has when he plays.

With twenty three years old of age Lionel Messi has made history, for

being the youngest player in the 2006 to play in the world cup and by

his great skills of a player he has. Lionel Messi is the best player in the

world. This is why I admire Lionel Messi.
