In terms of football, I hope he makes history like Pelé, like Maradona; I hope he goes far, very far. But above all, as a mother, I hope to God he will be happy, that he has a family, that he lives life, because he still hasn’t really lived. He has dedicated himself to football, body and soul. He doesn’t go out, he doesn’t do many of the things that young people his age do. That’s why I hope he has a wonderful life. He deserves it.’ The Barcelona Complex: Lionel Messi and the Making - and Unmaking - of the World's Greatest Soccer Club, by Simon Kuper, Steve West.

Bunica sa l-a inscris la fotbal, dar cu greu caci era tare micut de inaltime. Pe la vreo 10 ani a fost diagnosticat cu deficit de hormon de crestere. Tratamentul era foarte scump si au avut probleme cu cei de la asigurare in privinta platii, dar norocul le surade si ajunge la Barcelona, iar clubul ii va plati tratamentul.

Although the details of Messi's story are already well known, The Art of Living examines afresh and anew his highs and lows, his successes and failures, his ongoing evolution and his endless struggle to succeed. It encourages readers to consider, to analyze — and above all — think about Messi's career from a different viewpoint, understanding how his journey can be related to our own lives on a meaningful and impactful level.

On 24th June 1987, a little boy, weighing 3 kilos, pink and healthy, was born to a modest couple in a not-so modest town of Rosario, Argentina.

Mariano Perez Miralles and Teresa Llobera Minguet, who wed in Catalonia in 1846 and gave birth to Ramon Perez and Goncal Perez, were their great-great-great grandparents.
