Messi and his team arrived in Japan on Feb. 6, waving at the airport and smiling in a very different way from when he was in Hong Kong.
He explained the reason for his absence from the Hong Kong game, saying he was not injured but was not feeling well. However, this explanation was not endorsed by Hong Kong fans, who accused Messi of cheating on them and some extreme fans made crazy moves.
More than 40,000 fans, including those from elsewhere and many celebrities and business people, awaited Messi's appearance at the Hong Kong game. However, his unexcused absence caused a strong reaction from the fans.
Some fans even jumped out of the stands to theorize with him, and some kicked down Messi's humanoid stand and verbally attacked him, demanding a refund of the ticket fee.
In stark contrast, Messi was in better shape after arriving in Japan, no longer reticent, but held a concert and explained the reason for his absence from the Hong Kong game, saying that he was not feeling well, but he was not injured.
However, this explanation sounds a bit far-fetched and ridiculous, leaving the long-awaited fans without waiting for a face-to-face apology. And his explanation was only given at a press conference held in Japan, which makes people question his sincerity. Fans are even more confused, can he return to normal in just two days? It's chilling for Hong Kong fans, and it's no wonder they're going to go to the extreme.
Messi's explanation not only dissatisfied the fans, but also caused Huo Qigang's anger. He once again posted an article attacking Messi, saying that he trampled on the enthusiasm of Hong Kong fans and acted excessively! He said that before the game ended, Messi left the field and ignored the call of the emcee. This scene was disappointing and embarrassed the guests and emcee at the scene. It is regrettable that the arrangements they have carefully prepared for the team have been ignored.
In addition, it was revealed that the difference between the tickets for the Hong Kong game and the Japan game was more than doubled, with Hong Kong tickets being around HK$4,500 and Japan tickets only around HK$2,000. This huge disparity is puzzling.
Even though he spent ** to buy tickets, he didn't see Messi's appearance, and he didn't even explain the reason for his absence in Hong Kong, but went to Japan to hold a press conference. This left Hong Kong fans feeling completely disappointed.
Finally, for Messi's operation, some people think that it is his personal problem, and some people think that it is the team's reason. As the core and shareholder of the team, Messi has a complete say in this matter, which is indisputable. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
