On the evening of February 4, Beijing time, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China said that the Hong Kong government was very disappointed that Messi could not appear in Miami and the Hong Kong Stars United of China, and angrily accused the organizers of owing an explanation to the fans, and said that the Hong Kong government may deduct the sponsorship payment. Previously, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region** sponsored HK$16 million to the project, including a matching grant of HK$15 million and a venue grant of HK$1 million. 
In a warm-up match that ended earlier, Inter Miami defeated Hong Kong Stars 4-1. In this game, the two signature superstars of the Miami International team, Messi and Suarez, did not appear, which also caused the anger of the fans who came for Messi at the scene, and the 40,000 spectators at the scene sent piercing boos after the game. 
It is worth noting that Chief Executive John Lee, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, Deputy Secretary for Justice Wong Wai-lun, and Director of the Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yeung Kev-hung also attended the game. I believe them, and they are also very disappointed and even angry that Messi did not play. 
According to the exclusive news from the famous ** "Ta Kung Pao" in Hong Kong, China, when the Miami International team signed a contract with Hong Kong, China, it was said that Messi would play for at least 45 minutes, and by the morning of February 4, Miami International still said that Messi would play. It wasn't until a moment before the start of the game that Inter Miami suddenly changed its mindset and said that it would not be able to play. China's Hong Kong SAR** asked Messi to come out and say a few words to the fans, or walk to the front to say hello to the fans at the awards ceremony, but the result was not as expected. 
Although after the game, Miami International coach Martino explained that Messi did not play because of muscle inflammation, Argentine authority **tyc immediately refuted Martino's explanation. Tyc bluntly said that Messi is in good physical condition, and the reason why Martino did not let him play was just that he did not want to put Messi at risk of injury during the exhausting journey. 
The Argentinian also said that although there is no official news yet, Messi is likely to play next Wednesday against Vissel Kobe. In other words, in the 4 games of the Miami International team's Asian trip, Messi is very likely to not play in this game in Hong Kong, China. Inter Miami's suspected breach of contract and deception and deception of Hong Kong** and its fans are indeed somewhat inappropriate.
