In the football circle, the most popular person at the moment should be Messi. Many people think that Messi's image has always been benevolent and humble. Recently, however, a commercial match has made Messi shatter his myth and upset many people.
This is a competition held in Hong Kong, China. Messi's name was already on the list before the game began. A lot of fans came to Hong Kong because of him to play. However, no one expected that Messi did not appear from beginning to end, and even refused to come out for an interview. Is this because there is pressure behind it, or does Messi hate China?
Messi is absent. In fact, before this game, the fans had already made a promise to Messi, saying that no matter what, he would play at least forty-five minutes, which was a promise for the whole half, but until the end of the game, Messi did not even appear.
Some say it's because Messi's calf musculature was injured in previous training. The fans can still understand the athlete's pain, so they think it's okay if he doesn't play. If he could come out and accept the award, or just give an interview to the fans, but Messi didn't do that.
Messi's aloof attitude hurt fans, especially since Messi left China for Japan. When he was in Japan, he was willing to greet many fans with a smile. This extremely strong contrast makes Chinese fans feel very uncomfortable.
Some people made excuses for Messi, saying that it was all because there was too much pressure behind him and he couldn't compete. It may be that his club or someone else has put some pressure on Messi, but no matter what he says, the trust of Chinese fans in Messi has been damaged, and even began to re-examine many of his behaviors.
Messi's current status can definitely be called the king of world football. If there is a game in which Messi plays, then the ** of this game will definitely be much more expensive than other football games. It's his game. A living sign, but the end result will only make fans feel like they've been let go.
Do fans really want a lot? Even if Messi can't play normally and can't appear in front of everyone, he can at least show up on the playing field and say hello to everyone. This blind avoidance even puts hands in pockets. Leaving the field, you can see his disdain.
This scene was so embarrassing that it was prolonged. When Messi was about to leave, many fans at the scene shouted for a refund. They really feel like they've been cheated because Messi won't play. I didn't tell anyone until after the game started.
This behavior has led some people to even use the serious word "fraud". This is obviously in the name of Messi to make Chinese fans spend money meaninglessly. A lot of fans have given up on their original goal. Some people came to see him live, and some even brought their families to Hong Kong from other places, but in the end, they were only happy.
There's even a loyal Messi fan. He saw it as an opportunity to meet Messi, so he flew all the way from Xinjiang to Hong Kong. It took a total of twelve hours, not to mention how much it would cost to fly there. But the camaraderie alone is enough to be touching.
But as it turned out, it was indeed a **. The man spoke his mind. He felt like he might be a clown, and he couldn't figure it out. In his eyes, Messi is a very good person, but why did Messi behave indifferently this time, and was not even willing to give his fans an explanation and a reason?
There are actually many such fans. After all, the name of this game has always been Messi's coming to Hong Kong. Everyone is coming for Messi. But in the end, it turned out to be like this. The disappointment that the ending brought to fans cannot be ignored.
It's like finally buying a concert ticket for your favorite singer. You put in a lot of time, spent money on airfare, hotels, and finally arrived at the concert without any notice. In the show, the singer is replaced by a random passerby, but the singer is not even willing to explain.
Hong Kong withdrew its donation.
After this incident, many die-hard fans became extremely dissatisfied with Messi. They even began to vent at Messi's humanoid billboard, and deliberately knocked down Messi's billboard. Everyone felt that this farce was triggered because of Messi's support, so many people felt that they would not support Messi anymore.
In fact, not only fans, but also many celebrities think that Messi's behavior is very excessive. For the Chinese, this means no respect at all. For example, Huo Qigang published an article specifically demanding that Messi, including Miami International, should apologize to China. He felt that the enthusiasm of the fans was trampled by Messi's actions.
Including things like the T-head, because he was always there during the game, he saw the whole process very clearly. When the award was presented, Messi was obviously there, but he slipped away. This was very difficult for Mr. T to accept, and he was very disappointed.
So does this game really have nothing to do with Messi? Of course not. Messi's behavior this time is equivalent to offending all Chinese fans. So for himself, including Miami International behind him, it still has an impact.
This time, due to too many consumer complaints, Hong Kong decided to withdraw all the HK$16 million it had previously planned to donate to Macy's and Miami International. Not only that, because although this time it seems to be just a business competition, there is actually a lot more involved.
Although many of the effects have not yet been revealed, it is believed that they will be revealed in the near future, including this one. Miami International's share price is up seven percentage points. So this time, Messi's behavior actually dug a very big hole for himself.
Something that the public cannot understand.
The first point that the public can't understand is actually that if Messi is really unable to play because of injury, then why can't he inform everyone about it before the game starts, because the organizers are promising everyone that Messi can play for 45 minutes.
But it wasn't until the start of the game that the organizers knew that Messi would not be able to play. Even the introduction at that time, including on the big screen, was Messi's name, let alone let the public know. Suddenly said that Messi was injured on the spot, is it a deliberate deception?
If the first question can only be said to be a bit confusing, then the second question is the behavior that really annoys everyone. Since Messi can't play because of injury, why is Messi still reluctant to show up after the game?
You must know that most of the fans at the scene came back to this game because of Messi. Messi even came out at the end to say a few words to the fans, or spoke casually at the final awards ceremony, even if it was just a scene. He can say a few words, but Messi is not willing to do even the most basic perfunctory things. This does amplify the contradictions.
Messi's refusal to communicate with his fans is truly disappointing. He even refused to receive the trophy at the award ceremony and even went around to the other side. This behaviour is truly disappointing. He felt so uncomfortable that he didn't want to treat the fans even with the most basic perfunctory.
Messi even left the pitch with his hands in his pockets before the game was completely over. He didn't even glance at his fans during the whole process. Didn't Messi know that there were a lot of people here who came for him? Definitely not, then he doesn't care at all.
Then comes a very interesting question. Since Messi is not willing to play in China, is Messi still willing to play after going to other countries? After all, Messi has arrived in Japan after Hong Kong, so will Messi play in this commercial game in Japan?
Judging from Messi's expression when he got off the plane, Messi did feel a lot happier after arriving in Japan. He even created a promotional ** to greet Japanese fans, even if he really doesn't play football. , and will also interact with Japanese netizens at close range. If then, how will Messi explain it to Chinese fans?
Another problem is that Messi didn't start talking about what he started to feel uncomfortable about until he arrived in Japan. He said he suddenly felt like something was wrong with his adductor muscles, even though the MRI couldn't detect it. The problem is, but he is worried that if he is not in good shape, he will disappoint everyone.
When he was in China, he couldn't explain a word. Instead, he came to Japan and explained the sentence under the guidance of the Japanese **. If he could say the same in Hong Kong, he would be wrong. There will not be such a big problem, so it is not difficult to rule out whether Messi has an opinion on China.
Conclusion. Messi's encounter this time actually sounded the alarm for everyone. After all, when Ronaldo came to China before, he also had the problem of not wanting to play. Now that Messi is on board, he seems to feel it. These people have been controlled, causing cancer again and again in the Chinese sports circle.
Either way, I want you to always realize that while football culture is good, patriotism is the first thing to do before loving any player, any sport. Don't let these things affect everyone's defense and respect for this bottom line.
