Messi (The Complete Story) – in Arabic – Luca Caioli

The book *Messi* traces the rise of the legendary player Lionel Messi, covering everything from the time before his birth—including the political climate in Argentina and the country's footballing environment—to the sacrifices made by his family, his early struggle with growth hormone deficiency, and his exceptional ball-handling skills as a child. Written by Luca Caioli and translated by Abdulrahman Al-Najjar, the book was published by Wasm as part of a distinguished biography series. A synopsis of *Messi: The Complete Story*: It seemed unusual for an entire family to place their faith in a thirteen-year-old boy. Even before they were married, Celia and Jorge had actually considered emigrating to Australia. They wanted a new life in a new world. Things weren't bad, but they realized they couldn't achieve their dreams, and their lives in Argentina weren't going to improve. They were seeking a fresh opportunity for their children; "Leo" could receive medical treatment in Barcelona and continue developing his football talent at a great club. Yet, it was not an easy decision. The Messi family repeatedly asked themselves whether they were doing the right thing. Before leaving, they gathered the family around the table and asked each member what they wanted to do, making it clear that if anyone did not wish to leave, they would all stay in Rosario.
