Hello my friends,we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my heart are memories
Of perfect love that you gave to me
Oh, I remember .
After completing a dozen reviews in Ms I dissappeared cause I was netless for four months.Now that my internet has been reconnected "here I m,this is me, theres no where else on Earth i'd rather be"
I was an ardent cricket lover ever since i was in kindergarden and soccer was always my second choice.Well I think my life changed on the 16th of June this year after I saw Argentina vs Serbia and Montenegro which argentina won 6-0 but nothing fascinated me except the sixth goal which someone named Lionel Messi scored and i m unable to forget this name till date.
Messi made me a football fan and I have been following all Barcelona matches since then.He is a treat to watch.After that match I have been spending time knowing more and more about him and I m going to pen down for you amazing facts and the life of the 18 yr old ace of Argentina and the fottball club Fc Barcelona.
Lionel was born in Argentina on the 24th Of June 1987.He suffered from a hormonal deficiency,the treatment of which was expensive and unaffordable for his parents and the downfall of Argentinian economy added to their problems.
So they migrated to Spain and Messi who was a budding master of soccer highlighted himself in Spain and was called for a trail with FC Barcelona where he mesmerized the experts there and gradually made a mark and found a place in the starting eleven of the club.His popularity and skills caught the eye of Diego Maradona the Argentinian legend who became a big fan of Messi,his support and love for the 18 year old soccer genius could be seen when he gave Messi a standing ovation in the 2006 WC.
Its a gospel truth that Messi is the best footballer among all the youngsters in the game today and undoubtedly no lesser than the biggies too,be it Rooney or Lukas Podolski,Lionel Messi is a contrast to those new comers who struggle for limelight and a place in the starting 11.He is One of Barca's chief forwards along with Ronaldinho and former Chelsea striker Gud Johnsen.
He was the man of the tournament in the last under nineteen world cup with 6 goals under his name.HIS unique abilities can make any opposition jealous,he makes passing the ball through the best of defenders look so easy and his agility and pace is his chief strength,in short one cannot take his eyes off Messi when he is with the ball and the opposition's defence is under red alert when this guy is around.He is undoubtedly a wonderkid, might be called a kid due to his young age and innocently cute looks with flowing hair but he is everyone's father when it comes to the game of soccer.
He was given Spanish citizenship after which he started playing for Barcelona,an amazing fact about Messi is that he was also offered a place in Spain's National side which he declined as he chose to play for the nation where he took birth.Messi stole the hearts of millions of soccer fans and made people crazy not only in Argentina but also in Spain and his popularity was seen when Messi's Barca t-shirt sold more than Spain's national side's jersey in the last football season just before the WC 2006.
He has amaing nicknames wonderkid,the ace of barca,the messiah.
Wonderkid coz of his acomplishments at this age,ace becoz he saves the team when no one else can.Messi proved his significance when he saved Barca during extra time against Werder Bremen with an equalizer off a beautiful pass from his team mate Deco.Messi is also believed to be having a telepathic relationship with his team mates and today his value is 150 million Euro which is equal to Brazilian King Ronaldinho.
Currently all Messi maniacs are praying and anxiously waiting for Messi's comeback who was injured 3 weeks back in a game against Real zaragoza and had a sucessful left foot metatarsal surgery.Surgeons have advised him 3 months rest before he says Hello to the field again and comes back to make all his fans crazy and make new ones.The Ace is probably going to return by the second week of february.
Long Live the messiah.
Break It Down.
