Messi, a legend in the football world, did not play in the Hong Kong Commercial Match this time, causing countless fans to be puzzled and angry. The explanation he released was considered by fans to be a pale and weak defense, more like a helpless move to be forced to go to Liangshan. The muscle inflammation excuse mentioned in the article was dismissed as false by the fans, after all, as a professional player, muscle problems are almost commonplace, and it is unbelievable to play in a friendly in Japan just three days later.
What's even more shocking is that a product endorsed by Messi was suddenly removed from the e-commerce platform, and this product was once advertised on CCTV. This removal can almost be seen as another huge blow to Messi, and one can't help but suspect that Messi's reputation and image are suffering an unprecedented blow.
The report of Argentina** also hinted that Messi's behavior may have spilled over into Argentina's match in China, which may be the reason why he was forced to stand up and explain. However, the explanation does not contain any apology, but only an attempt to cover up the facts with an unrealistic excuse and try to calm the angry public opinion. But the unity and strength of Chinese fans cannot be underestimated, and the boycott and ** of Messi will continue.
CCTV Sports Channel and other authorities have removed Messi's championship, which has already indicated the official attitude. Messi may have thought that the incident had only affected Argentina's game, but he didn't realize that his actions had touched the bottom line of Chinese fans. In particular, Messi is now playing in the major leagues, away from the European arena, and for Chinese fans, he is no longer the focus.
This time, the unity and momentum of the Chinese fans is remarkable. Messi may be the king of the world, but if he is not kind to the fans, he will only suffer the consequences in the end. His ** explanation may be out of forced helplessness, but his dishonest and insincere attitude will only make his image worse. In the future, if Messi wants to regain the trust and support of fans, in addition to apologizing, he also needs to use practical actions to make up for his mistakes.
