Messi led the team to win the La Liga championship, the King's Cup and the Champions League in 2008-2009, which made Spain win the unprecedented triple crown.
At the age of 5, Messi began to play for the local Grandori club, and the coach was his father. At the age of seven, this little guy was highly praised by the Newell old boys team. But Messi was diagnosed with developmental hormone deficiency at the age of 1 1, which would hinder his bone growth. Family economic conditions can't afford Messi's treatment expenses. Because of his talent, Rexah of Barcelona took a fancy to him and brought him to Camp Nou in 2000. Messi moved his family to Europe. In September 2000, Messi, who was only 13 and only 140cm tall, went to Barcelona for trial training. In the trial, Messi's performance conquered the coach of Barcelona youth team. They couldn't wait to sign a work contract with Messi, which was about to expire on 20 12, but forgot the relevant regulations of FIFA. Players under the age of 20 are not allowed to sign a work contract with the club for more than 5 years. Barcelona Club has made great efforts to help Spain grow. Under the treatment arranged by the club, Messi's height has reached 1.7 meters in 2003. The Catalans did not hesitate to register him in the club and arranged for him to go to the medical department for treatment. In 2008, this 2 1 year-old boy from Rosario has grown to 170cm. Messi, who was only 1 16 years old, made his first appearance for Barcelona's first team in a friendly match in June 2003. However, Messi played for Barcelona's first team in the official competition one year later-in June 2004, 5438+ 10, Barcelona played against Spaniards in La Liga, and Messi replaced Deco in the 83rd minute, which also made the Argentine teenager the second young player to play for Barcelona in the league. The only player who surpassed him was alcantara, a legendary Filipino striker from Barcelona, who played for the first team of Barcelona when he was 15. In Argentina's national team, Messi started to emerge from the youth team level, and he won the top scorer with 6 goals in the 2005 World Youth Championship. In 2006, 17 years old, 3 months and 22 days, became the youngest player to represent Argentina in the World Cup. In 2008, he won the honor of the national team for the first time and won the gold medal on behalf of the Argentine Olympic team.
June 12 Argentina 1:0 Nigeria June 12, World Cup Group B 1 round, Argentina beat Nigeria with Heinze's header 1:0, almost 3 points. Messi showed his temperament as the new king of Argentina in the first game of the World Cup. In the game, Messi's activities in the frontcourt greatly involved the strength of Nigeria's counterattack, and Messi was gradually integrating into Argentina and gradually finding his feelings. This game makes people believe that Messi can lead Argentina further and complete the qualitative change from superstar to king of the ball. As diego maradona said before the game: "Messi is like me in the 1986 World Cup, and he is even better than me." [1] June 17 Argentina 4: 1 Korea On June 17, the second round of the World Cup Group B was held at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, and Argentina beat South Korea 4:/kloc-0. In the first half, Messi's free kick caused Park Chuyong's own goal, Samuel left because of injury, Higuain headed the ball to expand the score, and Li Qinglong seized Demichelis's mistake and pulled back one point. In the second half, Gutierrez got a yellow card and missed the next round. Yang Jixun missed a golden opportunity. Since then, Messi hit the post, and Higuain made up the shot, replacing aguero and assisting Higuain to complete the hat trick. [2] Messi's performance in the game was obviously better than that in the first game. Breakthrough with the ball, passing people, and shooting is extremely threatening. This game contributed two indirect assists, but unfortunately he still lacks the luck to score goals and still has no chance to score goals. [3] For the game, Messi mentioned that he was very happy that the team won. "Although I haven't scored yet, it will come and we will achieve the established tactical goals." [4] On June 23rd, Argentina beat Greece 2-0. On June 23rd, the final round of World Cup Group B, 1 was played at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Boguani. Argentina beat Greece 2-0, advanced to the first place with a total victory, and Greece was eliminated in the third place. In the second half of the second half, central defender Demichelis broke the deadlock, and Argentine first captain Messi hit the post, which was his second round in a row. Since then, he shot the goalkeeper and replaced Palermo as a "madman" to seal the victory. [5] Messi will celebrate his 23rd birthday on 24th of this month and become the youngest captain in the history of Argentina's national team. Previously, this record was held by Daniele Passareira, who is currently the president of Riverbed Club. He was only 25 years old when he was captain of the Argentine team on 1978. Messi, who became the youngest captain in Argentine history on the eve of his birthday, didn't score in three World Cup group matches, but he did quite well. He not only attracted the opponent's defense, but also created many goals for his teammates. Being the youngest captain in Argentine history and leading his team to the World Cup in South Africa 16 is undoubtedly the best gift Messi got on his 23rd birthday. [6
Messi's ball sense and footwork skills are excellent. When dribbling, the ball seems to stick to his foot, and it is difficult for the opponent to break the ball from his foot. Messi's most feared weapon is dribbling. His outstanding ball sense, speed, explosive power and balance ability combine to form the most terrible dribbling machine. He can find the possibility of a breakthrough in the narrowest space. In today's football, Messi may be the first person in this field. Although he is more used to playing wingers (mostly on the right), Messi scored more goals than many centers. In the 2008-09 season, he scored 38 goals in all competitions throughout the year, which is one of the most important goals for Barcelona.

Comments of different players after the goal of the century
1. Fabregas: Messi is more powerful on the court than in the game. When I first met Messi in the dressing room, he gave me the impression that he was very shy and refused to talk. We played football together on the court. He always scored goals, but he didn't say anything. At first, we all thought he was "dumb". Later, because he always scored goals on the court, he began to blend in with us. I began to communicate with him through games. His goal against Getafe didn't surprise me. I've seen such goals before. Although I often use him in my own games, I think the real Leo is better than the Leo in the game. Aguero: I have to call Messi. His goal was wonderful. He reached it at the age of 19. Diego Diego Maradona's goal? I like their goals as much as they do. I hope I can score one of these goals one day. 3. Iniesta: Congratulations to Messi. Everyone knows that today is a good proof of Leo's talent. This goal is great. I don't know how many teenagers it will take before we can see such a goal next time. What we need to do is to enjoy this goal and enjoy the happiness that Messi brings to everyone. Is Diego Diego Maradona's goal better or Rio's better? I chose Leo because this is the goal I saw with my own eyes. 4. Deco: I am very happy, because Messi is not only a great player, but also a good friend of mine. I have seen many great goals, but this is the best I have ever seen. I think his goal is more difficult than diego maradona's. I am very happy that our team has three great players, that is, Eto 'o, Ronnie and Messi. I believe that in the near future, I will become the best player in the world. 5. Euquela: We all know that Messi is omnipotent. Today, his goal was wonderful. 6. Marcos: We have long known that he is a talented player and he has the skills of a great star. 7. Zambrotta: His goal is too great. I believe Messi has grown more after this goal. This goal is not only one of the best goals in Barcelona, but also one of the best goals in football. 8. Gio: Rio's goal was really wonderful. As a defender, it is difficult to stop such a goal, especially in the case of Rio's excellent skills. I was lucky to see diego maradona's goal on TV. These two goals are so similar. I believe people will talk about this goal for many years. 9. saviola: I am happy for Messi's goal. When we are on the court, we just try to score. His goal is similar to that of diego maradona. I congratulate him. Leo and I both want to play in the America's Cup. 10. dos Santos: I don't know what words to use to describe it. This is a historic goal, which reminds us of diego maradona. Messi is an example for all players to learn, especially for us. Am I competing with Macy? No, no, I don't think we have anything in common, except our position on the court. 1 1. Torres: We watched the video in the dressing room and our team cheered for the goal. This is a once-in-a-lifetime goal, and we cannot praise it too much. Maybe Diego Diego Maradona scored this goal in the World Cup, so Diego Diego Maradona's goal is more precious. 12. Ramos: These two goals are very similar and deserve our appreciation. This goal can only be achieved by high-level players. Messi's goal reminds us of Diego Diego Maradona's goal. Now it's time for us to forget Messi's hat. 13. Enrique (Villarreal defender): I saw the goal, but I will try my best to stop Messi. I won't let this happen to me. There are few such goals in my life.
