In the latest episode of CCTV's "World Football" broadcast on February 12, the original title was the scene of Messi lifting the Hercules Cup, but now it has been deleted and changed to the scene of German captain Lahm winning the Cup, in addition to the top 100 goals in 2023 reviewed by "World Football", Messi's wonderful goals no longer appear.
Thinking of the previous deletion of the news about Messi by the Football Association, as well as the rumors that the Football Association stopped cooperating with the Argentine Football Association, all the information seems to indicate that Messi was **!
No one expected that things would get to such a point. The gale begins at the end of Qingping, and if something bad is possible, it will happen sooner or later, no matter how small the odds are. I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly and so decisively.
People who like Messi and those who don't like Messi are probably silent at this time: is this really the result we have in mind?
This result also allows us to see how big the driving force of public opinion is in the era of social **, which can make simple things complicated and insensitive things sensitive.
All the information shows that this is a story of middlemen making the difference: Messi playing and not playing, respectively, 9 million US dollars and 4 million US dollars**, the organizer in order to save money, talked with Miami about 4 million US dollars**, but in order to sell ** tickets, claiming that Messi will definitely play, took 16 million Hong Kong dollars of sponsorship from the Hong Kong government, plus ticket revenue, ready to make a big profit.
The abacus is flying, but Messi certainly won't buy it. "Hurt" is certainly just a relatively euphemistic statement, and the root cause is that the other party breached the contract first. The organizers made the Hong Kong government and the chief executive lose face, so they had to go off the rails, find ways to shake off the pot, kidnap Messi morally, and rise to the height of patriotism, skillfully diverting attention.
It's a common practice, and it usually works: a vigorous campaign to dump the plum has begun, which has struck at the fragile self-esteem of some people and pandered to the psychology of some verbal patriots.
Don't look at this incident, it seems that everyone is against Messi, who has died socially in China. In fact, this is just an artificial illusion, Messi's fans still love Messi, they know very well what is happening, and those who oppose and bombard may never care who Messi is, in their eyes, Messi is just a symbol and a target, and attacking Messi is just a traffic business.
These people who do traffic business, let me give you two examples, you will know what they are thinking. One is Hu Xijin. He has published several articles in succession on the Messi incident, with fierce rhetoric and naïve logic, changing the posture of the left and right when talking about domestic realities in the past. For no other reason, criticizing Messi has both traffic and safety. Everyone knows who Hu Xijin is, generally speaking, I will agree with what this person opposes, and I usually remain skeptical if he supports it.
Another, which non-fans may not be familiar with, is former international player Xu Liang. This person was not very famous when he played football, and the most famous thing was that he was angrily reprimanded by Zhao Benshan for "playing match-fixing" in front of him. Now I am a self-a**blogger, and I am interested in looking at the short ** he posted, which are all exaggerated and extreme brainless remarks. A former national football player who plays match-fixing is not trustworthy.
A group of people who do traffic business treat Messi as Tang monk meat, and rush to the top, causing things to escalate step by step, and finally out of control. They won.
* Messi is a bad, even bad, example. First: There are no facts and evidence that Messi has disrespected China and Chinese fans, and all kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to Messi circulating on the Internet are based on some people's fabrications and conjectures.
Second, China is a big country, its national strength is constantly improving, and its international influence is also increasing day by day. A responsible major country should be the most basic values of trustworthiness and respect for the spirit of contract. For this matter, it should be returned to the contract itself, to the rules of business, and nothing else.
Third, now the Internet is very developed, and it is in the stage of barbaric and disorderly development, for the sake of traffic and clicks, some people are almost doing everything to make malicious hype about public events without a bottom line. Messi is tantamount to giving great encouragement to some self-promotion and marketing numbers, as long as he is under the banner of "patriotism", he can do whatever he wants, which needs to be vigilant. Patriotism cannot be a business, and it is not possible to put personal interests above patriotic business. In this regard, the central media has published articles and comments.
In short, for the Messi incident, we must remain calm and rational, and we must not be led by others.
