Your mother told me that you are very interested in soccer, and that
you think Messi is amazing. Did you know that when Messi was a
boy, he was really good at soccer and he loved the game, but his body
wouldn9t grow properly, and that caused him a lot of problems? It
meant that he had to take some medicine to grow so that his soccer
life could work out. It seems to have worked pretty well, I guess.
My oldest son, Anton, has also played a lot of soccer, and that has

best, and what it is you are especially good at on the pitch when you

I have arranged with your mother that we will meet on Friday,

be going to school that day—but if you are tired of school at the

moment, that is probably okay
I think it would be a good idea if your father and mother came along
too, so they can maybe listen to it and help us remember what you
have experienced, in case it is hard for you to recall.
Take care until we see each other, and I will be looking forward to
meeting you.
Best regards,
Martin Nevers
