Messi won the championship. In this battle, he completely became a god and became the third world champion after Pele and Maradona.
He is a legend in the history of football. He holds the first place in the history of playing time in the World Cup; first in the number of World Cup appearances with 26 times; the first player to provide assists in five consecutive World Cups; the oldest player to pass and shoot in a single game in the World Cup; the player with the most official man-of-the-match awards in the history of the World Cup; and the 17th victory in the World Cup finals.
So, what is Messi’s background? How did he become a world-class player? What are the highlight moments in his life?
In June 1987, Messi was born in an ordinary family in Argentina. In this football powerhouse, there are football teams from almost elementary schools to universities. He was deeply influenced by this and has been fond of playing football since he was a child.
When his father saw that his son was extremely talented, he sent him to the youth football team for training. With his extraordinary talent and hard training, he became the most dazzling one. Many clubs wanted to invite him to join. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with "dwarfism" when he was 11 years old.
This disease will hinder his growth. In order to realize his son's dream of playing football, his parents have to spend 900 US dollars every month to treat him. Although the family's financial conditions were not good, no one gave up and continued on this difficult road.
When he was 13 years old, Messi was only 1.4 meters tall, but fortunately he had very good skills. For this reason, Barcelona 's youth academy admitted him to the youth training camp and promised to do their best to treat his illness.
And Messi lived up to expectations. In subsequent games, he used his skillful leg skills to conquer the coach again and again, allowing everyone to see his tenacity.
In 2004, the 17-year-old Messi participated in the competition for the first time as a substitute. It was also this game that promoted him to the five major leagues and .
In the post-match interview, he only said one sentence. It took him 17 years and 114 days to complete the route to overnight fame. Buried in the time was endless dark training and constant pain, and this sentence has become a world famous saying.
After becoming an official member of the team, Messi did not relax for a moment. The 2006 World Cup was held in Argentina. The home game gave everyone confidence. Messi's appearance as a player made everyone present cheer.
After the whole game, Messi won the best of the game with 1 goal and 1 assist, allowing people to see a new star warrior who is not afraid of tigers.
With the experience of this competition, Messi's next state is like a mess. In the year from 2008 to 2009, Messi contributed 38 goals, helping Barcelona Club win the league and King's Cup championship, and then won the Champions League with a big score.
In the following year, Messi played his best result in La Liga , tying Ronaldo with 34 goals. This also made Messi the most dazzling star on the court, and his worth surpassed all players.
People who were still laughing at Messi that he was no longer good before have now been beaten in the face. Messi is standing on top of the world this time and won the World Cup. His era has officially come to a successful end.
At this moment, it reminds people of the classic saying : "Being in the same era as Messi may be a kind of sadness for all players."
Messi has now reached the peak moment of his life, and for this moment, no one knows how much he has paid.
Winning the World Cup this time alone was a series of twists and turns for him.
On the afternoon of November 22, Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia 1:2. Suddenly, there were endless voices about Messi's twilight as a hero. Perhaps in people's eyes, he is no longer the all-powerful king he once was.
In the post-match interview, Messi looked lonely and was unwilling to talk more. The only sentence he said was: "We were completely silent in the locker room. We hope the fans can believe us."
Yes, Messi was not crushed by this defeat. Instead, he fought again, withstood the expectations and curses of hundreds of millions of people, and headed towards the altar of football.
In fact, Messi is a person who always creates miracles.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Messi led Argentina's Olympic team to win the Olympic gold medal, once again adding a new medal to his glorious career.
In the 2014 La Liga, he relied on his wonderful dribbling skills on the field to score 253 goals and was officially crowned the top scorer in La Liga history. FIFA personally awarded him the "International Football Golden Ball Award", and he also won the title of "Best Player in Europe".
In 2017, Messi staged the most exciting moment in La Liga, helping Barcelona win the championship, scoring his 37th goal of the entire season, and winning the " European Golden Boot Award " for the fourth time.
However, these achievements do not make Messi proud. In order to play better games, he continues to train hard and prepare for the Grand Slam of his life, which is the World Cup.
In the two years from 2018 to 2019, Messi scored goals like crazy. In his career, he has scored more than 700 goals. He uses his strength to tell us that only hard work in life will yield rewards.
However, even a player like Messi will have his darkest moments. His life has been full of twists and turns, from dazzling to trough to counterattack.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Messi's performance was not satisfactory, and the Argentina team he led failed to achieve anything.
For this moment, Messi actively solved the problem and adjusted his condition with the help of his coach. However, God did not favor him. In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, he lost in the final overtime, allowing Argentina to miss the championship team again.
However, misfortunes never come singly. In the three years from 2014 to 2016, the America's Cup competition has become his eternal nightmare. The old rival Chile has become the biggest obstacle to Argentina's progress. In both encounters, they both ended in failure.
In the two games, Messi couldn't show his style in the club and became an isolated existence. In one game, Messi only had 4 assists, so many people attributed these mistakes to him.
Messi was speechless and could only announce his retirement from the national team. At that time, many fans and coaches were trying to persuade him, and even the Prime Minister of Argentina called on him, hoping that he could calm down and return to the game. If he quit rashly, it would be a question whether Argentina could qualify for the next World Cup.
Messi was moved by everyone and put all his unwillingness into training for the 2018 World Cup. With his excellent strength, when facing his old rival Uruguay , a beautiful shot directly locked his place in the knockout round.
In the subsequent two preliminaries, Messi played his best and easily defeated Colombia 3:0, and then defeated Chile 1:0.
This battle of revenge was so exciting that it also allowed him to clear away his psychological shadow and put a smile on his face again.
In 2021, Messi will face a big challenge in his career, because his contract with Barcelona is about to expire this year. What to do next has become a question of concern to fans.
And 2021 is the start of the America's Cup. You must know that Messi has repeatedly failed in the America's Cup in the past few years, which has become the darkness that he least wants to mention in his career.
However, for this game, Messi gave a generous speech to the players. He hoped to encourage everyone with his own spirit. After all, except for him, almost all of this national team has been replaced by old and new players. Although everyone has experienced many competitions, there is still a certain gap compared to Argentina's glorious moment.
However, the finals were changing rapidly, and no one knew what would happen. Argentina made it all the way to the finals. Facing their strong rival Brazil, both sides were tense.
No. 10 on both sides, Messi and Neymar , two former teammates, are now the absolute core of their respective teams, and everyone knows that this may be the peak battle between the two ace players. By the 21st minute of the game, Argentina was already leading 1:0.
The Brazilian team was not to be outdone and was eager to equalize the score. They committed frequent fouls. Even Neymar's underwear was torn and he was warned by the referee yellow cards. In the end, Argentina won the championship under the leadership of Messi.
This also gave Messi, who had been losing in the America's Cup, a new life. He kept kissing the America's Champions Trophy. This battle of rebirth was his greatest pride, and with this achievement, he decided to compete again in the 2022 Qatar World Cup .
The 35-year-old Messi said before the start of the World Cup: This will be the last World Cup he will participate in. And this time, if he can win the championship, it will be the most fulfilling thing in his life.
Qatar The World Cup cost 200 billion US dollars to build the most luxurious facilities in the world in order to allow all fans and participating teams to perform at the highest level.
After seeing the grouping before the game, what everyone is looking forward to most is the Argentina team led by Messi, who is already 35 years old. This is his fifth World Cup. Some players predicted early that Argentina would beat Saudi Arabia by double digits. There is no doubt about this.
However, competitive sports are so cruel. On the first day of the game, Argentina gave the World Cup a "green start" and lost 1:2 to Saudi Arabia. It can be said that it directly detonated the world.
Messi's eyes were full of unwillingness, but the head coach also said that they are a team, and what they have to do at any time is to unite. Only by uniting can the following games enter the state.
In the end, Messi led the Argentine team all the way to the championship. It can be said that the world is cheering for it at this moment, and Messi's myth has also reached the pinnacle of history!
In the final, Messi scored two goals and set two World Cup records. He became the first player to score in every stage from the World Cup group stage to the final, and also played 26 times. Became the player with the most World Cup appearances.
said after the game, Messi said: "I once lacked this championship, and now it is here. This is the most wonderful thing, look at the Hercules Cup, how beautiful it is. I want this championship very much, this is my childhood dream."
Since then, Messi has truly ascended to the altar, FIFA officials even rated him as the best in history, and countless fans are also extremely satisfied with Messi.
In the past time, his contribution to the football industry has been beyond imagination. He no longer has to prove anything to anyone, because he is the most dazzling existence.
