FIFA released a part of the feature film entitled 'The Happiest Man in the World'. This documentary-style film tells the story of one of the living legends of Brazilian football, Ronaldinho.
The short video on Twitter is about the importance of the Brazil international in Lionel Messi's career. Specifically, his early days in the Barcelona first team. "He used to tell me to feel calm and relaxed, to only think about playing," recalled the '10' of the 'Albiceleste'.
The former player was very important in the Argentinian's development within the Barca side. "He called me (Ronaldinho) to the side where everyone was (in the dressing room) and there was just an empty place and he made me sit there," said the current Paris Saint-Germain player.
He also recalled his first goal with the 'culé' shirt after the referee disallowed a goal for offside: "He could have done a lot of things in that pass that leads to the second goal and waits for me to give it to me".
