After missing the match in Hong Kong, China, Messi took the field during the Miami International trip to Japan. At 6 p.m. on the 7th, Miami International faced the Japanese J-League team Vissel Kobe, and Messi came on as a substitute in the 60th minute of the second half.
At 17:57 on February 7, Messi posted on Weibo, which reads as follows:
Hello to all fans and friends in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. As I said at the press conference earlier, I regretted that I could not play the friendly match in Hong Kong due to a groin injury, and my injury was swollen and painful. Friends who know me know that I want to give my all in every game, especially when I'm travelling so far with my team-mates and the fans are looking forward to seeing us fit fit. Hopefully one day we will have the opportunity to come back and play for the fans and friends in Hong Kong. I also look forward to returning to the mainland as soon as possible to share the joy of football with everyone.
But this is a very insincere response. First of all, this is issued by their public relations company, Messi is in Japan, and the blog is in Sichuan, which is an obvious thing.
This is followed by the time of the release, which is 3 minutes before the Miami game in Japan....Anything that is posted 2 hours before the game will look real. And Messi definitely didn't even look at it, just the agent and the public relations company.
Secondly, Messi's problem is not that he didn't play, and everyone will understand that athletes are injured. The biggest problem is that he treats the fans indifferently and doesn't dump those people at all, which is not always something that can be solved by injury.
On the other hand, Messi's trip to Japan, on February 6, Messi attended a press conference alone on behalf of Miami International, and participated in the team's pre-match training in the afternoon.
According to Japan's "Nikkan Sports" report, Messi did not play in Hong Kong, but in Japan's training, Messi carried out jogging, passing, confrontation and other events, and it can be seen that his physical condition is relatively good. In the evening, he attends a welcome party, meets fans including Roland, who is known as "Japan's Top Cowherd", and presents you with autographed shoes.
Messi's whereabouts have been tracked and reported by a number of Japanese **Japan humiliates China with "not the slightest sign of bad state".
I just want to ask, Messi, you have an internal injury to your groin in China, and you can't even wave your hand to the fans? Can't even accept awards on behalf of the team? The whole team is shaking hands with the chief executive of Hong Kong to receive the award, Messi led his little brother and walked out the back door with his hands in his pockets.
The Argentine ICON national team recently announced that it will visit China after the Spring Festival and hold two friendly matches. The first game is on March 18 in Hangzhou ICON, against Nigeria ICON, and the second game on the 26th to Beijing ICON, against Ivory Coast ICON, which probably means that Messi will come to China again.
In fact, not only the Messi incident, the Chinese men's football team, which can't be supported, since I can remember, there is no thing that makes people have a long face, many people say that the Chinese men's football team entered the World Cup in 2002, you check, the Chinese team scored a few goals at that time, and the goal was shown off by others, you forgot?
The money is not spent, there is not a lot of attention, the infrastructure including youth training has been carried out, seeing that there is no place to rely on, this gang of football actually complains about the separation of the school body, I want to ask if there are few professional football schools in China? Feelings: This gang of people wants the people of the whole country to play football when they are idle.
I just want to ask, Vietnam, Iraq, and Syria also have this idle time to engage in national football? As far as the development path of the Chinese men's football team is concerned, it is completely a layman leading a layman, and all of them are overturned and restarted, no matter how bad it is?
Thanks also to Messi, the Messi incident has taught the Chinese a lesson. With his actions, he did not hesitate to damage his reputation, sending us an important message: stars have borders.
