Why did Messi refuse to play in the Hong Kong Business Invitational Tournament? The essence of the problem is that Inter Miami is an American team, and the owner of the team is a businessman with close ties to the political circles, and has always held an anti-China political stance.
If it is with the Argentine national team, Messi will never and dare not be so arrogant and rude. Because Argentina** has a relatively friendly and close relationship with our country.
In Hong Kong, he said that his muscles were unwell, and then he arrived in Tokyo after a tiring journey and immediately recovered on the spot to be able to play, who is fooling. This incident can be traced back to the June 2019 turmoil over Hong Kong's legislative amendments. In the eyes of the United States and the West, Hong Kong was the financial center of free Asia and the spy capital of the world.
But now it's a place of heartbroken dreams. The United States is the main behind the turmoil over the legislative amendments, and even if it gives money and equipment, it has sent a large number of personnel to participate in it.
After the turmoil over the legislative amendment in Hong Kong gradually subsided under the strong intervention of the first country, Hong Kong went from chaos to order, and experienced a long period of pain. Hong Kong's economic development in recent years has been under considerable pressure due to the collective withdrawal of the United States and the West.
Why did Messi and the team owner not even give the chief executive face, directly ignored it, and did not have basic respect for etiquette.
This is because the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) headed by the current Chief Executive is a term that resolutely supports and resolutely implements the decisions and arrangements.
The more stable Hong Kong is, the more unhappy some anti-China people in the United States will be. Messi's non-play is due to clear instructions from the club owner and even some institutions in the United States, that is, he wants to play Messi as a card, disgusting the Hong Kong side, and indirectly hit all Chinese in the face.
Messi himself is unacceptable and unforgivable in this matter, aiding and abusive, without his own principled position, and being willing to be a gun for others.
Messi is the youth memory and high-quality idol of many post-80s and 90s Chinese fans, a public figure with world influence, and a great player destined to go down in the history of world football.
But in this matter, the attitude before and after the real thing is unforgivable, and it will be a stain on his life. Sportsmanship should be clean and pure, and should not be politicized or even stigmatized.
Goodbye, Messi.
