How was Messi discovered by scouts in Barcelona? How did you sign it?

The fate of Messi and Barcelona for more than 20 years came from a "napkin" and from Reshah, a Bole with unique vision, who immediately decided Messi's future!

At the same time, it also made Messi completely get rid of the disease and grow into the best star in the world step by step!

Little Macy is gifted.

Messi 1987 was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24th. His father is an employee of a local company and his mother is a traditional housewife. Messi's family conditions are very ordinary. He also has two brothers and one sister.

Like all Argentine boys, Messi loved football very much since he was a child, and black and white balls were the best toys in his childhood. At the age of five, Messi began football training under the guidance of his father. Although not tall or thin, little Messi can always stick the ball firmly under his feet. Dribbling and shooting are his greatest hobbies.

1994, 7-year-old Messi came to the youth team of Newell old boys Club for regular football exercise, where his talent was further released. Judging from some videos of that year, Messi has a sense of ball and skills that children of the same age don't have. In the competition, he often can surpass everyone before shooting, and old boys Club has got a rare "treasure"!

Although it is too late for old boys Club, traditional Argentine league clubs such as Riverbed and Boca are still drooling over Messi. For them, Messi is still only a small player in the youth team, and they still have a chance to get Messi when they choose the youth team.

According to this road, Messi is likely to join Riverbed or Boca, like other Argentine stars, and make his mark in the Argentine league, then attract the attention of European clubs and finally come to the giants.

Seriously ill, but shy in the family bag

Messi was shorter than his peers when he was a child. At that time, his family didn't care too much. After all, children develop early and late. But when Messi 1 1 year old, his height was much lower than that of normal children. Messi's father took him to the exam, and after getting the results, the whole family was in a dilemma.

It turns out that Messi suffers from "growth hormone secretion deficiency". Because the secretion of developmental hormone is much lower than normal, Messi's bone development is very slow, which affects the growth of height. At that time, it was predicted that Messi's adult height would not reach 1.5 meters, which means Messi would not become a professional player, and even a normal life might not exist.

In the face of this material, the most painful thing is Messi's father, who later recalled:

"Argentina has the best beef and cheese in the world, but they do not belong to us. Messi grew up eating potatoes and carrots, and went to play football after drinking soup without oil foam, but he knows better than anyone! I will never forget the day when we got the diagnosis. It was very cold, so we stood in the street. Messi's face was expressionless, and he looked unusually calm. I know Messi knows better than anyone that there is nothing at home for him to treat. "

In fact, this disease is not an incurable disease, just injecting growth hormone into the body on time to artificially stimulate bone development. However, the price of this drug is extremely high, and the treatment cost of Messi needs at least 1000 USD per month.

As for the Messi family, which can only maintain food and clothing, it is impossible to pay in any case. Messi's father hopes that several football clubs in Argentina can help Messi. But no one wants to invest in a child of 1 1. After all, as long as he has talent, there is no guarantee that Messi will become a superstar.

It's hard to imagine what kind of mood and pressure 1 1 year-old Messi was under at that time, so don't criticize Messi for being unconfident, irresponsible and domineering. The inferiority complex brought about by childhood poverty and disease can never be changed!

Unable to continue, Spain looks for a way out.

For Messi's football dream and Messi's future life, Old Messi decided to try his luck in Europe. After all, the financial strength of European clubs is far better than that of Argentine teams.

In 2000, with the help of the famous Argentine football agent Goriat, Messi first came to the Barcelona Club in Spain. At that time, Rexah, the technical director of Barcelona, said with emotion after watching Messi's practice, this 13-year-old boy is great. His skill and sense of the ball are unprecedented, but it's a pity that he is too short.

The same problem is in front of Barcelona club. Is it worth investing in Messi?

While Barca was still hesitating, at lunch, Old Messi informed Rexah that they couldn't wait any longer and wanted to try Real Madrid, which is richer than Barca.

Rexah couldn't sit still after hearing the news. As a professional director of youth training, he knew that if Messi turned to Real Madrid, once his illness was cured, Barcelona would have no future in the next twenty years. So Rexah immediately asked the waiter for a napkin and signed a famous "napkin contract" with Messi without the authorization of the club:

"As the technical director of Barcelona, I promise that although there is no disagreement, once the conditions are reached, we promise to sign Messi immediately."

In this way, Messi stayed at Barcelona Club. In order to treat Messi, the club found the best doctor and worked out a detailed treatment plan. In order to take care of Messi's life, Barcelona arranged a job for Old Mei Xian at the club.

Everything is getting better at last. 16 years old, Messi reached 1.68 meters. Although he is not tall and burly, he can finally become a professional player!

Take the initiative, Messi Barcelona wins.

As the best player in the 87th La Masia Youth Training, Messi made his debut in Barcelona in 2004. Later, under the care of successive coaches in Barcelona, Messi grew into a top star!

During 17, Messi played 778 games for Barcelona, scored 672 goals and assisted 268 times. Messi was once the biggest player with the most victories in Barcelona and even La Liga history. During the period of 17, Barcelona Club * * * won four Champions League titles and 10 La Liga titles, and there are countless other champions, big and small. Messi himself won the Golden Globe Award six times with his great victory in Barcelona, which is unprecedented!

It can be said that it is the "contract on napkin" that makes Messi and Barcelona win. Of course, we also need to thank the old Messi for his persistence and Rexah for his insight and decisiveness!
