Lionel Messi was born on June 24th, 1987 in Rosario, Santa Fe province. Argentine professional football player, currently playing for the French football league Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.
1On June 24th, 987, Lionel Messi was born into a working-class family in Rosario, Santa Fe province. My father is an ordinary worker and my mother is a cleaner. There are four brothers and sisters in Messi's family, two brothers and one sister.
At the age of 1 1, Messi was diagnosed with developmental hormone deficiency, similar to "dwarfism". For Messi who loves football, it is undoubtedly a blow; For such a family, the need to raise four children is beyond their ability. Messi's illness can only be treated with auxin, but the high cost of treatment is obviously beyond the reach of working families.
Fortunately, Messi successfully signed a contract with Barcelona Club with the company of his family and his own efforts. In this process, in order to let Messi concentrate on playing football, Messi's father used to work as a coolie in a moving company, picking seafood for people in the vegetable market and delivering beef to Argentine restaurants. This shows that Messi's family was not rich when he was young.
Messi pays attention to charity:
In 2007, Messi set up his own charitable foundation to help sick children in Argentina, and to pay for the general treatment of sick children and surgery in special circumstances.
