[Miami International] near the end of the friendly match with Hong Kong Stars United with China, a heart-wrenching scene appeared - Messi was not included in the official lineup. This event, which has attracted the attention of the majority of fans, is precisely because of Messi's absence, which has aroused heated discussions and deep worries.

In a friendly match in Shenzhen last month, the figure of Cristiano Ronaldo's death made all fans regret. Although the game didn't go as planned, we were able to see the efforts of the two football greats to lock in commercial value ahead of time, which was admirable.

Since January this year, Miami International has embarked on a global tour with the Hong Kong Stars United of China, however, the performance has not been as good as expected, and the organizational confusion has drawn criticism from many fans. In fact, the two physically and mentally exhausted football superstars were apparently forced to participate in such a "tour", which looked more like barely performing in a caravan.

In this much-anticipated Riyadh victory over Inter Miami, two legendary superstars - Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi faced each other for the first time, but the "Melo duel" we were expecting did not take place as scheduled. In fact, Messi didn't get lucky enough to come off the bench until the team was already at a serious 0-6 deficit, while Ronaldo chose to be a fan and get involved in another way.

It is worth noting that although the result of the game was not the decisive factor, in this fierce battle to 5:4, the two superstars Ronaldo and Messi both played at the top level and paid tribute to each other, which made the atmosphere of the scene reach a white heat. Since Messi joined Inter Miami, president David Beckham and investor Jorge Mas have worked tirelessly to bring in Messi, and even though Messi won only two minor cups in his first major league season and missed the regular season due to injury, his presence still makes every matchday for Inter Miami attractive.

Regarding Messi's failure to play in the friendly match, a fan said helplessly: "I came with expectations, but Messi is not there, so I will inevitably be disappointed." Another person said: "The lack of focus in this game, the lack of Messi's participation, makes the whole game a little boring." ”

As the MLS season is about to begin, Inter Miami is rushing to prepare and recover. They will cross more than 370,000 kilometers, actively preparing for the global tour schedule, of course, facing the competition of various strong opponents is also a reality that must be faced. However, since it is not possible to attack in an all-round way, Inter Miami will prioritize the most attractive competitions to participate in. Although this "Mero Showdown" is only for show, it will undoubtedly bring nearly $100 million in revenue to Miami International.

Experts say that Messi and Ronaldo, two superstars in football, have made a lot of money in business cooperation. However, being a professional footballer also means complying with the responsibility of having to attend. Messi's failure to attend the friendly match has attracted the attention and questions of the majority of fans, and has brought a certain degree of disappointment to the team and sponsors.

Messi's absence has sparked a lot of discussion about the friendly match. Some fans expressed regret that the game without him was a little dull and boring; Others find it a lack of excitement and excitement. For Miami International, signing Messi not only means that it has increased its popularity, but also aroused the expectations of the majority of fans for the team. Although Messi was unable to attend the friendly match, it did not disrupt Inter Miami's preparations for the new MLS.
