Curiosidades de Leo Messi


This is a great activity for you to start a debate with your students. I know it is in spanish but with advanced Ss, you can use this kind of texts.

El delantero estrella del Barcelona tiene secretos y anécdotas para llamar la atención



Hablar de Lionel Messi, es platicar del segundo Dios argentino del futbol, y del mejor jugador hoy por hoy a lo largo del mundo y aunque aún no alcanza la total madurez futbolística, la ‘Pulga' es un baúl lleno de pequeños, pero valiosos recuerdos...

1- Su mamá, la señora; Celia María Cuccitini Oliveira en cada ocasión que visita a su hijo, Lionel Messi en España, le cocina tres veces por semana su platillo favorito: milanesa napolitana.

2- A los 13 años su libro favorito era la Biblia.

3- Cuando Messi jugaba en las categorías inferiores del Newell's tuvo algunas discrepancias con el entrenador, Adrián Coria, quién tuvo que regañarlo por no iniciar sus ejercicios antes de jugar, su pasión era el balón y los entrenamientos, no tanto.

4- A los 13 años, la ‘Pulga' ya es un ídolo juvenil en su natal Argentina, los periódicos le dedican páginas dobles y en Buenos Aires, River Plate ya lo ve con buenos ojos.

5- En su adolescencia llegaba al vestuario y en un rincón se cambiaba y alistaba para los partidos, era tan tímido que algunos de sus compañeros pensaban que era mudo.

6- El gol que marco con el Barcelona ante el Getafe, es el más conocido en toda su carrera, y es considerado por el italiano Gianluca Zambrotta, un gol increíble y considera a Messi mejor que Diego Armando Maradona.


7- Cuando Lionel tenía 6 años asistió el día en que Diego Armando Maradona debutó (Con Newells?), pero no recuerda algún momento de aquel partido.

8- La `Pulga' considera que es una virtud ser pequeño de estatura, ya que controla mejor la pelota, es más ágil y más rápido.

9- Los partidos que han tenido más significado para Messi fueron; contra el Real Madrid cuando marcó tres goles, la final del Campeonato del Mundo sub-20 y la semifinal contra Brasil en Pekín.

10- Desea estar en todas las convocatorias de su selección argentina, por que afirma que aún le falta muchas alegrías que darle a su país.
