莱昂内尔·梅西
作者: 张湾湾Lionel Messi
Born on June 24, 1987, Lionel Messi is a famous soccer player from Argentina who plays for Paris Saint⁃German F.C. (巴黎圣日耳曼足球俱乐部) now.
Growing up, Messi had two older brothers with whom he played soccer. At the age of eight, Messi joined the Newells Old Boys soccer club in his town. Unfortunately, three years later he was diagnosed with a condition that stunted his growth and was prescribed medication to help. Luckily, when Messi was 13 years old, he was offered a position on the La Masia team. This was an academy for young soccer players. The academy also offered to pay for his medication. With that, Messi and his family moved to Barcelona and Messi started playing for the academy. Messi became the youngest player to score a goal for FC Barcelona when he was 16. From there, Messi continued to improve his skills. In 2009, Messi contributed greatly to his team winning three European club titles, all in the same season. In that season alone, Messi miraculously scored 38 goals in 51 matches. 2012 was a fantastic year for Messi. In March, he incredibly scored 5 goals in a Champions League game and was the first player in the game to do this. A short time later, he exceeded César Rodríguezs record of 232 goals, which gave Messi the title of Barcelonas all⁃time top scorer (最佳射手). By this time, Messi had won world player of the year four times. On December 18, 2022, Lionel Messi finally achieved his FIFA World Cup dream as Argentina won their third crown on penalties following one of the greatest finals in the tournaments history at Lusail Stadium.
Apart from football, Messi has also been involved with a number of charities. He set up his own organization in order to help children who need special care or are at risk. Messi also represents a charity called UNICEF which helps children across the world.
Messi has demonstrated multiple times that he does possess qualities that make him a great footballer. He is a paragon (楷模) for the rest to follow, ready to defend his teammates and there to offer a helping hand when they need to be lifted.
