"If you want to be the best, you have to work harder than everyone else" - this is Lionel Messi’s football philosophy.
If nature has blessed you with talent, you are lucky enough to be born in Argentina and you find your way into Barcelona’s youth academy, you too could become a "Messi."
Indeed, today the name "Messi" is more than just a surname; it is a synonym for excellence, earned by a shy boy from Rosario over the course of an extraordinary career.
But how did he get there? You will find the answer in this book by Luciano Wernicke. As an Argentine writer who knows Messi’s life better than many other authors, Wernicke shares numerous unknown and fascinating stories that will surprise even the most dedicated fans of Leo and the Argentine national team.
