Lionel Messi is one of the best footballers of all time. World champion, two-time America's Cup winner, Olympic champion. He is an eight—time winner of the Golden Ball and a six-time winner of the Golden Boot. The whole world knows his name. And even the legendary Diego Maradona worshiped his talent. Now he is a living legend of football. But once upon a time Leo was an ordinary boy from the Argentine city of Rosario, who spent his days chasing a ball in the yard with his friends. At the age of 11, he was told that perhaps his dream of becoming a football player would never come true: doctors discovered he had a growth hormone deficiency, he was too young for this sport. It was going to be a difficult and expensive treatment, he was shorter and weaker than the other guys, but he loved football so much that he did not give up for a minute ... And became the best of the best!
