The player I chose is Luis Lionel Andres Messi. He was 
born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24, 1987. He is the 
best football player known today.

---

The club he plays for is FC Barcelona and his national 
team is Argentina.

---

Messi’s father coached him; he realized that his son 
started kicking the ball in a very young age so he 
decided to teach him how to play, and at the age of 13 
him and his parents moved to Spain in order to build 
his career.

---

He has been playing at a very young age, and then he 
decided to play in Newell’s his hometown! He has 
been playing for about 18 years.

---

His position is a football attacker.

---

I like how Messi always moves into space and can easily 
take the ball from the other team just by popping in 
front of them and he is furious when it comes to 
running. I also like how he strikes the ball with both 
feet. 

---

I enjoy watching him play because he is my favorite 
player, and when he scores he scores with strength and 
accuracy, which makes the crowd go CRAZY!
