arly career
At the age of five, Messi started playing football for Grandoli. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell's Old Boys.[3] At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency.[4] River Plate showed interest in Messi's progress, but did not have enough money to pay for the treatment of the illness that cost $1500 a month. Carles Rexach, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, was made aware of Messi's talent, and Barcelona signed him after watching him play,[5] offering to pay for the medical bills if he was willing to move to start a new life in Spain.[3] His family moved to Europe and he started in the club's youth teams.[5]
[edit] Barcelona
Messi made his unofficial debut for the first team against FC Porto on 16 November 2003 (at 16 years and 145 days). Less than a year later he made his official debut against Espanyol on 16 October 2004 (at 17 years and 114 days), becoming the third-youngest player ever to play for FC Barcelona and youngest club player who played in La Liga (a record broken by team mate Bojan Krkić in September 2007).[6] When he scored his first senior goal for the club against Albacete Balompié on 1 May 2005, Messi was 17 years, 10 months and 7 days old, becoming the youngest to ever score in a La Liga game for FC Barcelona until 2007 when Bojan Krkić broke this record, scoring off a Messi assist.[7]
[edit] 2005–06 season

On 16 September, for the second time in three months, Barcelona announced an update to Messi's contract - this time improved to pay him as a first team member and extended till June 2014.[3][8] Messi obtained Spanish citizenship on 25 September and was finally able to make his début in the season's Spanish First Division. He had previously been unable to play because FC Barcelona had filled their quota of non-EU players. Messi's first home outing in the UEFA Champions League came on 27 September against Italian club Udinese.[9] He impressed with some great passing and a seemingly telepathic relationship with Ronaldinho that earned him a standing ovation from the 70,000-odd Nou Camp faithful.[10]
Messi netted six goals in seventeen league appearances, and scored one Champions League goal in six. However, his season ended prematurely on 7 March 2006 when he suffered a muscle tear in his right thigh during the second leg of the second round Champions League tie against Chelsea.[11] Barcelona ended the season as champions of S

Milan (Italian: Milano; Western Lombard: Milan (listen)) is the second largest city of Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy. It is the capital in the Province of Milan. The municipality (Comune di Milano) has a population of 1.3 million. The Milan metropolitan area, depending on the specific definition, has a population ranging from 2.9 to 7.4 million. The municipal border covers a relatively small area (about one-eighth that of Rome).
Milan is renowned as one of the world capitals of design and fashion.[2] The English word milliner is derived from the name of the city. The Lombard metropolis is famous for its fashion houses and shops (such as along via Montenapoleone) and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo (reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall). The city hosted the World Exposition in 1906 and will host the Universal Expo in 2015. Inhabitants of Milan are referred to as "Milanese" (Italian: Milanesi or informally Meneghini or Ambrosiani).
The Olona river, the Lambro river and the Seveso creek run through Milan. Olona and Seveso run mostly underground.

Juventus Vs Inter
GOAL: First of all, how do you feel about your side's season so far?
Martino (Inter): I’m very happy because we are top of Serie A and we are also close to qualifying from our Champions League group. Our performances haven’t always been convincing, but that is mostly due to our coach Jose Mourinho’s 4-3-3 system that isn’t really the best for us. Lately, though, he has been reverting to a more functional 4-4-2, which is a good sign.
Franco (Juventus): I am very surprised by the season so far. I expected us to be in a worse position than the one we are in now, especially after we went through a really bad run in October when we lost to both Palermo and Napoli. Now we are doing great - onwards and upwards - time to leap-frog Inter!
GOAL: How important is this game?
Inter: It is important for morale, as neither team will be out of the Scudetto race in case of a defeat. But there is a very fierce and angry rivalry between these two teams, just like the one between Barcelona and Real Madrid. That is what makes this such an important game for the fans and both clubs as a whole. Such is the rivalry that this is a game that can make or break both teams’ season.
Juventus: It’s the most important game of our season. We all know what really happened during Calciopoli, and we are fired up for revenge. We have to beat them. We can’t lose, or we will fall six points behind them, and this will be hard to get back knowing all the refereeing decisions they always get.
GOAL: How do you rate your opponents' season?
Inter: They had a poor spell about a month ago, but they have recovered nicely and I think they’ve won their last seven games on the trot. I was also impressed with the way they beat Real Madrid both home and away in the Champions League. So I would say they are doing quite well overall.
Juventus: I rate them very highly but nothing has changed since last term. The only difference is Jose Mourinho and a few players. The football is the same. I think Roberto Mancini would be doing better if he was still there.

Football its my hobby
Football its My Life,, I Love it
There was a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.
This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game.
This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn't want to. But the young man loved football and decided to hang in there.
He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he'd get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.
When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul into every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.
The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games.
This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?" The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "Take the rest of the week off, son. And don't even plan to come back to the game on Saturday."
Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon.
"Coach, please let me play. I've just got to play today," said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in.
"All right," he said. "You can go in."
Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to triumph. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid caught a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. Such cheering you never heard.
Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, " Kid, I can't believe it. You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?
He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Well, you knew my Dad died, but did you know that my Dad was blind?"
The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!"
Like the athlete's father, GOD is always there cheering for us. He's always reminding us to go on. He's even offering us His hand for He knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. God has never missed a single game. What a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the Highest. Live for Him for He's watching us in the game of life. Amen.
