Without Messi, the sun would still riseIs it necessary to hype Messi so loudly? 
Who is Messi? For someone like me who doesn't care about football, I really don't know. I only learned from this hype on the Internet that Messi turned out to be a football player, and he was a football star at a glance. The fact that he was going to play in Hong Kong was warmed up in advance, and the fans wanted to see him, and traveled thousands of miles to Hong Kong with great enthusiasm, and spent money to buy tickets, looking forward to Messi's wonderful performance. But Messi was absent without warning. Without prior notice, there is no apology afterwards. This seriously hurts the hearts of the fans. It even hurt the hearts of Hong Kong people and Chinese people. People were angry, even bigger than Nanjing** and the bombing of the embassy of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. A lot of anger, verbal criticism, overwhelming, and menacing. 
We don't know whether Messi did this intentionally or unintentionally, but this anger, a hype, has made it more famous and bigger. Not even people like me know this. "Absence" is a form of wisdom. Of course, the "absent" person must have an identity, and no one cares whether the unknown person is absent or not. Messi used his star status to be "absent" at the right time and appropriately, and then used people's anger to expand his popularity and elevate his status. How cunning is that. Did we all fall for him, consciously or unconsciously helping him achieve goals that he couldn't achieve on his own? If you think about it, there's really no need to hype it up so much. Isn't it just a kicker? Maybe the ball is better, but it's not necessary. 
I also chase stars, but I chase political stars, scientific stars, and corporate stars, but I never feel cold to any football stars, singers, dance stars, etc., and even sneer at them. In addition to attracting people's attention, making people laugh, and digging people's pockets, what contribution do these stars have to social development? That's why I don't know Messi and don't want to know. Calm down, stop hype, stop helping Messi. Do your job well and live your life well. Because without Messi, the sun still rises.
