  "account": "Lionel Messi, at 39, reflects on often not fully enjoying his goals and successes, even at the peak of his career. He was consumed by the desire to improve with each game, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence. Messi's dedication and personality left him little time for other pursuits, including studying or learning English. His grandmother, Celia, played a significant role in his early football career, taking him to the Grandoli team. Messi now has a contract with Inter de Miami until 2028.",
  "summary": "At 39 years old, the Argentine player is enjoying accolades like the one he received this Friday in Oviedo after a career that was so exclusive and demanding that it barely gave him a break at Barça and with the national team.",
