On February 7, 2024, a Weibo message from Argentine football superstar Messi quietly set off a lot of waves in the football circle in Chinese mainland. This Weibo is not only a response to countless Chinese fans who are looking forward to it, but also a true portrayal of Messi's personal helplessness about injuries and commitment to the future.
Hello to all fans and friends in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. As I said at the press conference earlier, I regretted that I could not play the friendly match in Hong Kong due to a groin injury, and my injury was swollen and painful. In a few simple opening sentences, Messi bluntly explained the reason why he was unable to appear at the Hong Kong Stadium. For the football legend, injuries are undoubtedly the biggest enemy of his career. And this time, it once again ruthlessly blocked Messi's intimate contact with Asian fans.
Messi is known for his love and dedication to the game. He has shown his dedication and pursuit of football on countless occasions. And this time, even on the field far from home and across the ocean to Hong Kong, Messi still hopes to bring a wonderful game to the fans. But the reality is cruel, and the groin injury made him have to temporarily let go of the love in his heart and choose to rest and **.
Friends who know me know that I want to give my all in every game, especially when I'm travelling so far with my team-mates and the fans are looking forward to seeing us fit fit. Messi wrote on Weibo. Reading between the lines, there is a deep apology for his regret for not being able to play and for the fans. Such an emotional outpouring has moved countless fans and made people look forward to the future of the star.
It is worth mentioning that despite not being able to play, Messi's arrival still set off a huge boom in Hong Kong. From the enthusiastic cheers of the fans to the rush to report, it all proves Messi's influence in the Asian region. However, when fans didn't see Messi on the field on match day, disappointment and dissatisfaction followed. In this regard, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region** also expressed its extreme disappointment that Messi could not play.
However, in the face of doubts and criticism from the outside world, Messi did not choose to escape. Instead, he chose to explain the reason and apologize to the fans in person through the platform Weibo. This approach not only shows Messi's sense of responsibility as a professional player, but also reflects his respect and gratitude to the fans.
At the end of Weibo, Messi ended with a sentence "I also look forward to returning to the mainland as soon as possible to share the joy of football with everyone", and sent a sincere invitation to all Chinese fans who support him. This sentence is not only a promise for the future, but also a response to the enthusiastic support of the fans. I believe that one day in the future, when Messi sets foot on Chinese soil again, he will definitely repay the love of the fans with a more wonderful performance.
In addition, Messi also wished everyone a "good year of the dragon" in advance on Weibo, which undoubtedly shortened the distance between him and Chinese fans. As an international football superstar, Messi not only showed outstanding strength and style on the field, but also showed a warm and friendly side off the field. Such Messi is undoubtedly more loved and admired.
Looking back on the whole thing, although Messi's failure to play the first friendly match in Hong Kong made fans feel regretful and disappointed, Messi's own candid attitude towards injuries and respect for fans let us see his professionalism and personality as a professional player. I believe that in the days to come, Messi will definitely repay all the fans who support him with a healthier state and more wonderful performances. And we also have reason to believe that one day in the future, the story of Messi and Chinese football will continue to write a new chapter.
