Why did Messi, a usually humble and friendly football star, incur the dissatisfaction of billions of markets around the world this time? Was his behavior motivated by the pursuit of money or fame? Messi is not in dire need of money or fame. It is not until you understand the forces behind him that you can understand the motives of his actions.
Messi's claim of being unwell but being active in the Japanese stadium three days later is an apparent excuse. There are rumors that Hong Kong fans have disrespect for him, but in fact, the reception in Hong Kong is very grand, and the reception ceremony and the reception of the chief executive are of a very high standard. Messi deliberately bypassed the chief executive's handshake, which was obviously political, and it was impossible for him not to know the position of the chief executive.
Some people think that Messi showed indifference to Hong Kong because Hong Kong was pro-British and Argentina was hostile to the British. But his boss David Beckham is also British, and the symbol of Hong Kong is not Britain, but China, so his actions are actually a blatant insult to the Chinese.
By looking at the Inter Miami club where Messi joined, we found the answer. Inter Miami had little to no fame before Messi's arrival, with only 1 million fans at the club. After Messi joined, the number of fans of the club surged to 16.09 million, ranking fourth among American sports clubs. Messi's blatant insult to China this time is a great opportunity for the club to gain more attention internationally and attract more fans at home.
It's good for the club and good for Messi himself. Although Messi is a football superstar, he is 36 years old, how long can his career last? He needs to plan for the future, especially after his career is over. Joining the American Club and blending into the American elite was a good choice for him. The perception of China by the American elite is often negative, and Messi may also be affected, so he needs to make his political stance clear. Although he may lose Chinese fans, it is foreseeable that he will be seen as a hero and more popular when he returns to the United States.
Messi's lukewarm move was not a temporary move, but a well-thought-out political show.
