One day, when the team was short on players, Mrs. Celia suggested to the coach that her 6-year-old nephew Lionel was very good at soccer. Then, when they saw Lionel performing dribbles on the field, everyone was surprised and amazed.

During Lionel Messi’s childhood years, his grandmother always accompanied him, playing and practicing with him. Mrs. Celia constantly cheered and encouraged Messi to believe in his talent and develop that talent further.
