The Messi incident recently disclosed by CNN has undoubtedly caused huge waves in the field. For many people who don't follow football, Messi's name may represent an unattainable cult. But when the so-called "insider" is gradually revealed, can we still maintain that simple faith?
Whether in the sports world or the entertainment industry, it has its glamorous side. Messi, as a superstar in today's football, has countless fans. Every appearance and every action of his may become a hot topic of discussion. But behind all this, is there really only pure love? Apparently not.
In this incident, we saw people travel thousands of miles to Hong Kong to see Messi, and the cost was huge. One of the mothers even rushed to the scene with her child despite the ** after the operation. This frenzy begs the question: What exactly are we after? Is it just an autograph or a photo of a football player?
What's even more chilling is Messi's indifferent attitude towards fans. He kicked the jerseys thrown by fans aside, a move that undoubtedly hurt the hearts of many people. Those who paid a huge price to see him received such an indifferent response. This is not just a simple "impoliteness", but also a kind of disregard for fans and supporters.
Looking back at the 2015 trip to China, it is not difficult to see that Messi's performance in Japan is very different from that in China. With less than 50% attendance and more than 30 minutes of playing time, it stands in stark contrast to the sold-out scene in Hong Kong. What's behind this? Is it a cultural difference, a business consideration, or something else?
There's no denying that Messi's prowess on the football pitch is breathtaking. But even the best of the ball can't hide the problems behind it. For those who still blindly worship Messi, I really hope that you can see the truth and not be fooled by the superficial aura.
As for those who still insist on defending Messi, I just want to say: everyone has their own choices and beliefs, but please keep thinking rationally while chasing stars, and don't let yourself be the object of entertainment.
The Messi incident is a wake-up call, reminding everyone that in this seemingly glamorous entertainment and sports world, it is actually full of various complex factors and entanglements of interests. We should not be easily fooled by superficial things, but should pay more attention to those things that are truly worth cherishing and pursuing.
Finally, I would like to say: whether you are a football fan, a star chaser, or an ordinary passerby, please maintain your ability to think independently. Don't blindly worship someone just because they are "Messi" or "Ronaldo". In this complex world, we should cherish those who truly give us sincerity and love.
The Messi incident has brought us a lot of inspiration and reflection. I hope everyone can learn from this and look at themselves and the world around them more rationally.
