After two years, with only 7 years, Lionel began to play with the Newell’s Old Boys, a team also from
the city of Rosario, where he began to excel and reveal his great football skills.

In 1998, Messi receives news that poses a threat to what is beginning to be seen as a bright future in
the world of football, since he is diagnosed with a hormonal disease that causes growth deficiency,
which begins to suppose a problem when being hired by big clubs.
 A PLAYER EMERGED IN THE WAR

Messi does not abandon, however, his dream of reaching the top, and in the month of August of
the year 2000 he leaves for Buenos Aires with the aim of carrying out the tests to play in the
lower divisions of the River Plate Athletic Club. Although the then coach, Federico Vairo, was
interested in him and it seemed that the corresponding contract was going to be made, he did not
become effective when an economic agreement was not reached between the club and his
parents, who wanted the young man to receive a treatment to remedy your hormonal disease.
