Messi, one of the best and most influential footballers today, has had an impact beyond the pitch. Of course, he's focused on football, it's the game. But Messi does not live in a vacuum, his words and deeds are bound to be influenced by the major forces behind him, the most important thing is the power of capital, and the influence of political forces is not excluded.
Hong Kong affairs have always been dictated by the United States and Britain and other Western countries, and the West's favorability towards Hong Kong is also declining day by day. When the United States and Britain go to Hong Kong, they may still maintain the feeling of visiting a colony, with a lofty face.
Messi did not appear according to the contract, and dared to take the risk of breach of contract and professional honor, which shows that this matter is not simple. There must be forces behind the scenes, but I didn't expect Hong Kong and the mainland to react so much!
Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao" pointed out that the father of the owner of the American professional team Miami International, which Messi plays, "played for the CIA". The meaning of this phrase is intriguing.
But regardless of the truth, before the player retires, what he values most is the power of capital, and he will not be affected by politics. But if the power of capital does not change, then the matter may die with the passage of time, and soon the story will play out again. After all, the forgetfulness of Chinese people is very great and is hereditary.
It depends on the degree of fermentation of the incident, and the strength of domestic capital forces. If the capital force behind Messi had not been affected by the turmoil, it is estimated that this would have been the case. However, if the domestic capital forces stand up, then Messi's apology, Miami International's apology will follow.
Let the bullets fly a little longer!
