⚽The road to greatness begins in a local playground, for Messi and for everyone ⚽ All of us have dreamed about becoming soccer players. For most of us, a day will come when we will be told that our dream is over. But perhaps another kid from our old neighborhood soccer field will become a world champion one day. It happened to me, and to many others as well. When that happens, you will realize that you were part of that dream too. For dreaming it, for fostering it with your effort, and for helping your friends to achieve it. In the green fields of my old neighborhood, one of the greatest players of all time took his first steps on his way to becoming a legend. But there are fields just like mine in every neighborhood in the world. Is perhaps the Messi of the future playing there with you right now, without you even knowing it? If that’s the case, this book will help you to find him, encourage him and remember him. And perhaps one day you’ll see him lift the World Cup only to realize at that moment that you are part of that achievement as well.
