The autobiographical film Lionel Messi, directed by Spanish director Á lex de la Iglesia, is a semi-documentary and semi-drama film that depicts Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi from childhood to fame, interviewing Lionel Messi's friends, teammates, coaches and football stars, and filming in Rosario, Buenos Aires and Barcelona. "We know he is like a genius on the pitch and we want to know what kind of man he is off the court. Messi's childhood is based on the drama "Reproduction," written by former Argentine national team player Jorge Valdano Wardhana. For authenticity, the audition brought in 9-year-old Juan Ignacio Martinez, who looks like Messi, to show Messi suffering from hormone deficiency in childhood, unable to grow taller and once life-threatening. The film leads the audience to explore whether he is a born star or an acquired talent who leads Argentina to win the World Cup in 2014. How did you finally create a ball pass along the way?
