Extraordinary Career Messi Starting from Napkins

Who would have thought if the extraordinary career at Barcelona's
Lionel Messi started from a napkin. A sheet of wax paper on top of
that, write a message to bigwigs Barcelona Messi's father, Jorge.
Interesting story is revealed Horacio Gaggioli and Josep Minguella
then come to be a liaison between Barcelona with Jorge. On a napkin
that Barca officials agreed to send a message to mark Messi's father.
"This is a napkin that my colleagues and many believe it has changed
the history of Barcelona. If none of these napkins, Messi may play at
other clubs," said Horacio Gaggioli Yahoosport reported. Gaggioli
admitted was contacted by someone in the hometown of Messi, Rosario,
to 'sell' small Messi to Europe's elite clubs. At that time Messi was
recorded as a young boy at the academy club Newell's Old Boys.
Gaggioli himself was surprised when I first met with Messi. "The first
time they met at the airport and when I saw Leo I thought, 'Where's
this going to play?'. She was tiny and very thin so the idea of ​​him
playing football is not possible," explained Gaggioli. Small Messi did
experience problems with growth hormone. However Gaggioli decided to
continue to promote Messi to Barcelona. In September 2008, Barcelona,
​ represented by Carles Rexach call Messi to Spain for skill
performance. Rexach stunned but tried to cover it because it is still
unsure of the condition of Messi at that time. After several months of
the deadline given Messi's father, Rexach with Barca youth academy
coach at the time, Quimet Rife tried to convince myself with Messi
pitted against players who are older. The result, Messi is magical.
"Rexach and Rife who knows clearly about signing him, said no other
players in the world like him. No doubt, he is a pearl," continued
Gaggioli. December, Rexach finally sure you want to bring Messi.
Because the meeting was held on a tennis court there is no special
preparation course. Rexach's father wrote a message to Messi on the
napkin. "He (Rexach) looked around, trying to find something to write,
but no, so he pulled out one napkin," said Minguella. Doily reads: "In
Barcelona,?? On December 14, 2000 and in the presence of Josep
Minguella and Horacio (Gaggioli), the technical secretary Carles
Rexach ready FCB liable even some against some view to signing the
player Lionel Messi, as long as we stay on the amount which has been
agreed. " Now napkin had been laminated by Minguella and Gaggioli and
stored in a safety deposit box at a bank. Both are ready to give
historic document was deposited in the museum of Barcelona. But both
claim to have not received permitaan from Barcelona. "(Museum) is the
proper place. But I never received a call from the club on a napkin. I
never got good money from the club or from Messi. But I do not know if
I want money for this napkin that obviously they have to call first,
"said Gaggioli.
