Through anecdotes and testimonies from those who know him closely, Alfredo Varona reveals the man hiding behind the myth: his anger, his gestures of generosity, his shyness, and his most personal side. An essential work for those who want to know the real Messi, the one who doesn't always make the headlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into the lesser-known side of Leo Messi, exploring his personality and his life off the pitch. Through the voices of those close to him, such as the goalkeeper against whom he scored his first official goal or the journalist to whom he gifted his jersey out of superstition, moments that reveal his character are reconstructed. Episodes such as his ability to get angry and reconcile, his defiance of shyness by wearing a striking cherry-colored suit, or his humanity in stopping his car to drive actor Ricardo Darín to his hotel are addressed. The book uncovers the most authentic Messi, showing gestures of generosity, vulnerability, and personal greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe personality and character of Leo Messi outside of football.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnecdotes and testimonies from people close to the footballer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eShyness and personal growth as defining traits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGestures of generosity and humanity in daily life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of the legend from an intimate perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at football fans who want to know the human dimension of one of the best players in history.
