Messi had a violent childhood like no other
After completing the elementary school program, his family moved to the city of Barcelona (Spain) to live, at the invitation of the Barcelona Club. Here, Messi both practices at the famous football training facility La Masia and studies at Leon XIII School. He is a classmate of two other famous Spanish football players, Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique.
Messi once shared about the first days of moving to a new city: “As soon as I got acquainted with Barcelona, I started practicing football. I did not sleep at La Masia, but went to Leo XIII school – oh but all Even kids from other cities attend. I spend every afternoon with those kids. They understand what it’s like to live far away from my family and friends.”
Player Julio Jesus de Dios Moreno – a person who also studied at La Masia training academy said: “Even though we spend a lot of time with the ball, we still have to get good grades in school. If not, the coaches will quit.” Volunteer won’t let us play soccer at Saturday morning matches.”
Day after day, the childhood of the legendary Lionel Mess was filled with days of running back and forth between practice and school. It can be said that for children who are determined to pursue a professional football career like Lionel Mess, studying and taking tests are still the most important tasks that need to be completed before dreaming of the trophy and World Cup.
The awareness of the importance of education is also shown when Messi takes on the role of father. Every time he moves to a new city in his professional football career, one of the first things Messi does is search for the best educational schools for his three sons.
Returning to the legendary Messi’s hometown in Argetina, the corner of the sports field where Messi used to play with the neighborhood boys, where he scored his first goal, has become a famous place. Artists have painted scenes from Messi’s life on the surrounding walls.
This house is located on Estado de Israel street, number 525, on the outskirts of Rosario, still owned by famous football player Messi’s family, but his whole family has moved to a more upscale place in the city. Messi kept everything in the house intact, added security cameras and someone came to clean every day.
