If you ask about the last World Cup, the favorite teams and players of the people of the country, everyone may answer Argentina and Messi a few days ago, but I never thought that after today, this answer may become history.
Recently, Messi, a popular figure in football, has caused widespread controversy due to a series of actions. In the exhibition match between Miami International and Japan's Kobe Victory Ship, Messi's appearance undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. At the same time, however, his absence from the game in Hong Kong, China, and his subsequent behaviour have left many Chinese fans disappointed and angry.
Before the game in Hong Kong, China, Messi signed a promise to play at least 45 minutes, but in the end he was unable to appear due to "injury". This not only disappointed the fans at the scene, but also raised questions about his professional attitude and integrity. Especially two days later, Messi appeared on the field with a smile on his face during the match in Japan, which undoubtedly exacerbated the dissatisfaction of Chinese fans. Meanwhile, Suarez, who also missed Hong Kong, China, due to injury, made a splash in Japan, a contrast that underlined Miami's special treatment.
Many fans expressed disappointment and anger at Messi's move. Some fans bluntly said: "First of all, I am Chinese, and secondly, I am a fan." This is both a criticism of Messi's behavior and a clarification of his own identity and position. Some fans even bluntly said that Messi's behavior made them feel chills for the football superstar, and some even said "goodbye to the king of Barcelona, goodbye to Guardiola's apprentice, after recently, there will be no Messi".
Messi's "backstabbing" behavior undoubtedly hurt the hearts of many fans who like him. Some well-known bloggers even tore Messi's signed jersey to express their strong dissatisfaction.
This incident not only damaged Messi's image, but also led to the loss of a large number of Chinese fans. After all, for fans, they support not only the player's skills, but also the player's professional attitude and personality. Messi's special treatment and lack of integrity have undoubtedly upset that balance.
At the same time, some netizens broke the news that Messi's coaching team may intend to arrange for him to appear in the Japanese game to preserve his physical strength and condition. However, this approach ignores the feelings of the fans and fails to provide a convincing explanation. Netizens jokingly said that "Except for the West Night" came ahead of schedule, and after this battle, there was no Messi in his heart.
Overall, Messi's incident undoubtedly brought a big blow to his career. While pursuing professional success, how to maintain his image and credibility has become a problem that he needs to think about seriously. For fans, they also need to re-examine their idols and think about what they really value.
