On February 6, in response to Messi's failure to compete in Hong Kong, China, Huo Qigang and others once again spoke out on social ** or in public, angrily denouncing the behavior of Messi and Miami International. Now that Messi has arrived in Tokyo, Japan, he was asked during the press conference whether he would play in Japan if he did not compete in Hong Kong, China. Messi said he still needs to check to see if he will be able to play against Vissel Kobe.
During the press conference, Messi not only talked about being happy to come to Japan, but also talked about not playing in Hong Kong, China, and soon a topic rushed to the first place on the hot search list, that is, "Messi said that he was not injured but was not comfortable". Under the topic, many fans and netizens angrily denounced Messi's double standard, competing in Saudi Arabia, but blackface in Hong Kong, China.
So did Messi really say that he was not injured and did not play because he was uncomfortable? Liang Hongye, a Spanish journalist and well-known football reporter, said that the translation of Messi's press conference was taken out of context, and the original text was not without injury, and this examination was before the victory against Riyadh, there was edema in the groin, and there was excessive muscle fatigue, but what he said was not injured This is the Spanish meaning that there is no break, and it was taken out of context.
In other words, when Messi talks about no injury, he means that there is no rupture, not very healthy and no injury, after all, he also said before that there is edema in the groin, excessive muscle fatigue, etc., so it is not right to simply take out a paragraph and say that Messi said that he was not injured.
This time Messi did not participate in Hong Kong, China, the effect was sensational, Messi and Miami International's approach was really wrong, the regulations clearly said that they needed to play 45 minutes, as well as Suarez and others, but Messi and Suarez did not play, the organizer said that before and during the game, Messi was wanted to play many times, but they were refused.
Obviously, Messi did not play, and his face was ugly, and he did not give a response, apology, etc., so that his status in the hearts of Chinese fans plummeted, and then there was Argentina's trip to China, participating in two games in Hangzhou and Beijing, and many fans called for such a commercial game to stop consuming everyone.
