Lionel Messi and his wife Antonella Roccuzzo cried after hearing the story of their life. The story, titled 'Lionel's Suitcase', was written by renowned Argentine author Hernan Casciari. The audio of the story was recently broadcast on an Argentine radio station. Leo was moved to tears after listening to the story in his hometown of Rosario and also sent an audio message at the event.
Many people know Hernan Casillas as the author of the famous article 'Lionel Messi: The Dogman'. Casillas said that he left Argentina and started living in Spain just to watch Lionel Messi play. Now, he has written the story of Messi's life under the title 'Lionel's Suitcase'. From Rosario to Spain, from there, he walked step by step to the World Cup podium and kissed the golden trophy of his dreams. The path was thorny. The story is also emotional.
The audio version of Cassiari's story was broadcast on the Argentine radio 'Perros de la Challe'. Messi himself was emotional after listening to it, and his and Antonella's eyes were wet. Messi was so moved after listening to the story for 9 minutes that he sent a message to the author of the story, Hernan, and the host of the radio show, Andy Kusnezoff. Messi said, "We started crying after hearing what Hernan has told us. Because everything he said is true. Thank you both. Antonella and I heard it while sitting in Rosario. We are very emotional. A hug for you. Thank you again."
Hernan Casillas has lived in Spain for 15 years, where he has seen first-hand how a youngster from Rosario has risen from the ranks of Barcelona's youth ranks to the top of the world, scoring goals. Messi's emotional message moved him to tears.
Hernán Casiari writes, There are two types of immigrants. One type of people who arrive in Spain and put their suitcases in the closet. There is another type of people who leave their suitcases outside. This epic story would never have been possible if Lionel had hidden his suitcase in the closet. He never settled in Spain. He never lost his accent. He did not learn a single Spanish slur. On the contrary, his expression remained the same as the Argentines. The only thing that changed was what he brought with him in his suitcase. That was the World Cup trophy.
According to Hernan Casiari, the message Messi sent after hearing his story is bigger than receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. The story, titled 'Lionel's Suitcase', is awaiting publication in Argentina's Orsay magazine. Casiari said, "I received Leo's message this morning. It was, in a word, extraordinary." He said, Messi and Antonella cried while listening to the story. If someone had asked me which I would like - the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Miguel de Carvenez Prize, or to make Messi emotional by telling a story; I would have chosen today's incident.
