I want to talk about my favourite player, Lionel Messi. He is truly one of the world football's global superstars. Having made his Argentina debut against Hungary in August 2005, Messi has gone on to make 43 appearances and score 12 goals for his country.
Lionel Messi began his career at FC Barcelona in 2000/2001 season, but failed to make a league appearance during his first 2 years at the club. He made 22 league appearances and scoring 6 goals for Barcelona 'B' Team in 2003/2004. He then join back the first team of Barcelona in 2004/2005 and has since made an impact to the club.
At just 22 years of age, he has a great record of 12 competition wins to his name. He also earned recognition from the footballing community for his achievements such as World Player of the Year runner-up for 2 occasions, European Footballer of the Year runner-up.
At the recent Ballon d'Or award, one of the biggest award in football world, Messi has take home the winner of the award. Having won most of the awards this year, he is truly one of the greatest footballer in the current generation. His next target was to win the World Cup for his country.
In the recent article in the Newspaper, he mentioned that with determination and hard work, effort will be paid off. His humble personality helped him in gaining wisdom and respect. Even his lifestyle, as compare with other footballers, he prefers to stay home with his family where other footballers would prefer late night partying and boozing.
