ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A fascinating profile of the world's most famous soccer player at three stages in his life. By Leonardo Faccio. Lionel Messi has broken every record in soccer and earned his place in the pantheon reserved for the sport's luminaries: Pel, Di Stfano, Cruyff and Maradona. Since exploding onto the scene in 2007, Argentina's Leo Messi has owned the field. A star of this magnitude deserves more than the usual hagiography or sensational tabloid coverage. In the tradition of narrative journalism pioneered by the likes of Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, and Norman Mailer, Leonardo Faccio compiles a fascinating profile that links three stages in the life of the most famous figure in soccer today. The result is an enduring portrait of the slight, shy boy who overcomes an unpromising beginning to become the crown jewel of the world's most popular sport.
