My book "Messi" uses family and friends to let the reader know how grounded lionel stays throughout his success. They all mention his humility and how he hasn't changed at all.

In my book Messi, lionel endures much change and adversity as a young boy who moves to Spain. He is very shy and must cope with a lot of expectation and deal with frustrating setbacks. His career starts much slower than he would like, but he doesn't back down.

I'm currently reading Messi The Inside Story of a Boy Who Became a Legend by Luca Caioli. So far the book has been a series of interview and discussions between the author and Lionel's family, friends, and past coaches. At the age of fourteen, Messi moves to Spain to join Barcelona and must adjust to life away from his family and country. For a shy boy, this is no small challenge.
