An article can’t say all about that, who the man ‘Messi’ is .In the aggregate, by this article at least you may find out about the man behind the magic footing on football. A fortunate sportsman Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi Cuccittini is one of the world’s best soccer players and an Argentine footballer currently plays as a forward for the Spanish champion ‘FC Barcelona’. It’s said to have that, the net worth of Lionel Messi is $180 Million & the annual salary is $44.68 Million. By the age of 21, Messi had conquered Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations.



Messi was born on 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Santa Fe Province. His father Jorge Horácio Messi a factory steel worker and Mother Celia María Cuccittini, a part-time cleaner.His ancestor, Angelo Messi, originates from the Italian city of Ancona,emigrated to Argentina in 1883. He has two elder brothers named Rodrigo, Matías and a sister María Sol. When Messi was at five, Messi started playing football for Grandoli, a local club coached suggested by his father Jorge. In the year of 1995, Messi gone to Newell's Old Boys in Rosario. He became the silent leader of a local youth powerhouse that locally identified as "The Machine of '87".

At the age of 11, Messi was eventually diagnosed by doctor as a growth hormone deficiency. The Local team River Plate showed their concern about Messi & his hidden treasure, but they were not desiring to pay for the treatment, which cost $900 in per month.The sporting director of FC Barcelona Carles Rexach ,offered Messi a contract written on a paper of napkin. Rexach offered to cover Messi's medical bills on basis of the term that he moved to Spain. Messi and his father truly picked up and moved across the Barcelona, where Messi admitted.





Messi is a lurid, creative and unique player. As a natural left footer, he can plays either in the middle field or on whichever of the wings needed, basically he plays in the right wing of forward.By the physical structure he may not be too tall, but his turning with ball is eventually the prime pore to any defenders. He is also a specialist for taking the expectancy of free kicks and penalties. Messi often take charge of individual dribbling runs towards goal, during counterattacks, along with Barcelona team mates Xavi and Iniesta. Messi has been compared to his countryman Diego Maradona, for their similar action and rank.

The Famous quotes about Lionel Messi are as:



“Put in the superlatives yourselves, I’m running out. It’s already been a while now that he has been outstanding. He’s more than decisive in every way. That he’s capable of doing everything that he does at his age is something impressive, that doesn’t make any sense.”
