A week has passed since the "Messi incident", but the heat is still unabated. On February 10, the United States**Front Office Sports wrote an article to return to Messi's latest week's dynamics, "This is Messi's nightmare week", and one of his absences from the game became the most serious absenteeism in his career and caused a serious crisis.
We take a look at Front Office Sports' review of Messi's past week:
Sunday. Miami International vs Hong Kong Stars United of China, Messi did not play in the whole game, and 40,000 fans at the scene booed. Hong Kong officials demanded that the organizers explain the reason why Messi did not play, and the fans were extremely angry.
Monday. 
Michael, CEO of the tournament organizer Tatler Asia, confirmed to the outside world that the organizers withdrew their application for HK$16 million in funding from the Hong Kong government because Messi did not appear.
Tuesday. Messi, who came to Japan, revealed at a press conference the reason for his absence from the game - discomfort in his adductor muscles. However, Messi feels that his physical condition is improving and believes that he can play in the next commercial game (against Vissel Kobe).
Wednesday. 
Inter Miami vs Vissel Kobe, Messi came off the bench in the last 30 minutes. Before this game, Messi's social platform issued an apology statement, but fans didn't buy it - the social media IP address of Messi's apology was Sichuan, thousands of miles away from Tokyo. Chinese fans are still angry, calling on the Chinese brand endorsed by Messi to quickly complete the cut with Messi.
Thursday. 
Messi's absence from the commercial match with Hong Kong, China, became the only exhibition match Messi missed on the Miami International World Tour. The Global Times pointed out that the impact of Messi's absence goes far beyond the scope of sports, and Messi has completely offended fans all over China.
Friday. 
Tatler Asia, the organizer of the event, announced that all spectators who purchased tickets through official channels will receive a 50% refund, which has led to the organizers going from a profit of HK$13 million to a loss of HK$43 million. After that, the Chinese side canceled the arrangement for the Argentine national team to play a warm-up match in China in March.
