It seemed strange that an entire family would put their faith in a thirteen-year-old boy. Before their marriage, Celia and Jorge had already thought about emigrating to Australia. They wanted a new life in a new world. Things weren’t bad, but they realized that they couldn’t fulfill their dreams, and that their life in Argentina wouldn’t change for the better. They were looking for a new opportunity for their children, and Leo could receive medical treatment in Barcelona and continue to develop his football talent at a great club. But it wasn’t an easy decision. The Messis asked themselves over and over again if they were doing the right thing. Before leaving, they gathered the family around the table and asked each one of them what they wanted to do, and made it clear that if one of them didn’t want to leave, they would all stay in Rosario.
In his book, “Messi: The Complete Story,” Italian journalist Luca Caioli traces the rise of the legendary player Lionel Messi, from before his birth, through the political situation in Argentina, to the football environment in his country.
In the book's chapters, Italian journalist Luca Caioli also discusses the sacrifices made by Lionel Messi's family, his early illness with growth hormone deficiency, and his ability to control the ball at a young age.
