Lionel Andres Messi was born on June 24, 1987 in the city of Rosario, Argentina. Everyone knows him now as the best football player in the world. In fact, a lot of people say he might become the greatest player ever. We’ll see about that at the World Cup. Messi is FIFA World Player of the Year. He also helped his club team Barcelona win the European Champions League and the World Club Championship.
1987年6月24日，里奥内尔·安德雷斯·梅西出生在阿根廷罗萨里奥市。众所周知，他是世界上最佳足球运动员。有人认为他是史上最伟大的球员。世界杯将一见分晓。梅西是世界足球先生。还曾帮助巴塞罗那俱乐部赢得欧冠和世俱杯冠军。
Messi grew up playing football. He joined his first club when he was five. At the age of eight, he signed up for the famous Newell's Old Boys' youth team. His career nearly ended when doctors found out he suffered from a growth hormone deficiency. Luckily, agents from Barcelona saw his talent and in 2000, he moved to Spain. The Catalan club paid for his medical treatment and coached him until he made his Barcelona debut.
梅西从小开始踢球。5岁入选俱乐部。8岁入选纽维尔斯老男孩青年队。当时医生发现他患有荷尔蒙缺乏症，足球生涯几近夭折。幸运的是，巴塞罗那球探发现梅西，2000年，梅西前往西拔牙。俱乐部为他支付医药费，在为巴塞罗那首秀之前，还一直为他聘请教练。
Lionel started breaking records as soon as he played his first game for Barcelona in the 2004-05 season. He became the youngest footballer ever to play a La Liga game and the youngest to score a goal. He helped his team win the league in his first season, and the league and Champions League double in the following season. In the 2008-09 season he scored an impressive 38 goals as Barcelona won the treble.
2004-2005赛季，梅西首次身披巴塞罗那球衣，并不断打破记录。他是西甲史上最年轻运动员，同时也是最年轻的进球球员。第一赛季就为球队赢得西甲冠军，第二赛季又赢得西甲和欧洲冠军联赛冠军。2008-2009赛季，他代表巴塞罗那攻入惊人的38粒进球，并赢得西甲冠军，超级杯冠军以及欧冠冠军。
Messi has an amazing career ahead of him. He is set to shine in South Africa. Many football experts compare him to the legendary Pele and Maradona. This World Cup could be the stage for him to show people he really is the best. His skills on the ball, ability to get past defenders and his goal-scoring are breathtaking. Top soccer coach Arsene Wenger said Messi is “like a PlayStation. He takes advantage of every mistake teams make”.
梅西足球生涯一片光明。他定将在南非世界杯一展雄风。许多业内人士将他与传奇球星马拉多纳和贝利相提并论。本届世界杯是向世人证明自己的绝佳舞台。他带救过人技术惊人，而他的进球技术更是瞠目结舌。顶级足球教练阿尔塞纳·温格认为，梅西就像视频游戏。他能够利用对方犯下的任何一个错误。”
