After the 13th, Messi once again did not participate in a warm-up match in Hong Kong, and this is the third time he has commented on the incident. On the other side of the ocean, Messi could clearly sense the displeasure of his supporters in China, while he could get more information from other sources.
However, Messi's words were not recognized by most Chinese, on the contrary, their anger rekindled their anger. Messi looked more sincere this time, not only recording the video, but also explaining the reason for his injury, as well as the reason for his absence from Japan.
What makes people angry is that Messi replied three times in a row, all to justify himself, but he refused to say sorry. Especially when he found out that the ID sent by Messi was from Shanghai, he was even more angry, feeling that Messi was not just perfunctory, but playing himself. As a result, Messi's third reaction did not play any role, but made the "downward trend" more violent.
On February 6, ahead of the match against the winning team in Kobe in Miami, Messi answered for the first time the question that he did not play. He said that he would like to participate in the trip to Hong Kong, but he is not feeling well, so he is looking forward to coming to Hong Kong, China again one day.
While this matter was still fermenting, Messi posted another Weibo, saying that he had been working hard, but due to a groin injury, he could not participate in the warm-up match in Hong Kong, which made him feel very sad. He's looking forward to getting back on the field.
Messi appeared on television on February 19 and recorded a video in which he made two issues clear:
First, in order to express his attitude, he did not participate in this tournament because he has always loved China deeply, and since his football career, he has established a special and intimate relationship with China, and he has many wonderful memories in the past years. The second is about the details of his injury, he said that he missed one game in the warm-up match against Saudi Arabia because of inflammation of the adductor muscles, and then played for a while. Arriving in Hong Kong on 4 February, after pre-match practice, he felt that he could no longer play, and if he reluctantly played again, it would only aggravate the injury. When I was in Japan, I was a little bit better, so I went out for a while.
Messi's three answers are all the same, but they are not actually that different. To sum up: I'm really hurt, come back in a while. However, if Messi goes, I'm afraid no one will like it. Judging from the current **, the call against Messi seems to be one-sided.
Judging from Messi's three replies, he is a very stubborn person, and any star with a little brain in this situation will put this matter behind him, and at most apologize a few words, whether it is true or not, as long as he can get by on the surface, it will be much easier, and he will continue to cooperate in the future. But Messi didn't do this, he insisted that "he was injured" and refused to admit his mistake.
Messi said sorry one by one, is it really necessary? That's a big deal!
In the eyes of those who feel hurt, Messi's pride has a purpose, and he doesn't like the fans in Hong Kong, nor the organizers, and it's a political issue that goes beyond football itself. That's why Messi's turmoil is getting worse and worse.
In Messi's opinion, he has not done anything wrong, and if he has not done anything wrong, then there is no need to force himself to admit his mistakes, because it is against the rules of the game, and as a person who has to follow the rules of the game every day, he will definitely not compromise.
Messi's affairs have developed to this point, and it is actually impossible to give up, no matter what Messi says, it will be difficult for him to recover his previous impression. Those who hate him and reject him will never be forgiven, but his fans still love him very much.
Someone takes sides, someone stands in line. Messi gave clarification on the issue of the trip to Hong Kong, China.
