Every time I write about Messi, there will always be more or less voices in the comment area: for example, some netizens talk about Messi's height, and some netizens talk about winning the championship with penalties ......
Although there are a lot of these voices, they are essentially untenable to dig into the core.
Height is innate, but people play football well, saying that the ball has nothing to do with height; When it comes to winning the championship by penalty kicks, I personally think that the result of any human-determined game will be biased, and there are reports of referee misjudgments in every NBA game. As long as the referee is still a human being, not a robot, it is difficult to fundamentally remove the subjective factor, as long as the referee on duty and FIFA agree that the result is the truth. Football matches are won or lost only by the number of goals, whether a penalty is scored or not.
Therefore, these statements do not hold water.
The Messi incident triggered by the Miami International trip to Hong Kong is completely different.
Restoring the whole process of the incident, Miami International went to Hong Kong to play a friendly match with the Hong Kong Stars.
Let's not talk about the lineup of Miami International, everyone is very familiar with it, and it is self-evident who fans mainly rush to buy tickets.
The Hong Kong Stars lineup is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Yip Hung-fai (Eastern), Pang Cheuk-hei (Jinfeng), Tse Ka-wing (Tai Po).
Defenders: Heer, Daniel (Eastern), Chow Tsz-him (HK Club), Chow Yuen-tak (Kitchee), Jose Anzu, Lee Ngai Kai (Lee & Man).
Midfielders: Marcos (Eastern), Kilton, Charlie Scott, Ncha, Mikyl (Kitchee), Polyson (Lee & Man), Ngan Cheuk Bun (Sham Shui Po), Chan Siu Kwan (Tai Po).
Forwards: Ibahim (Standard Rangers), Lim Lok Kan (Kwan Yip North), Lam Hok Hei (Hong Kong U23), Mingasov (Kitchee), Ai Hua (Kwun Chung South), Ivawaton, Kijuanidon, Anya (Lee & Man).
A patchwork of improvisational teams, and, looking at the AFC Champions League records of the clubs where these players play, you can roughly see the difference in strength between the two teams.
Compare the starting point of the Kobe Victory Ship:
50-Obina, 19-Ryo Hatsuse, 15-Yuki Honda, 55-Takuya Iwanami, 24-Takatoku Sakai, 6-Takahiro Ogihara, 96-Hotaru Yamaguchi, 18-Haruka Ide, 22-Taiki Sasaki, 26-Patrick, 10-Yuya Osako.
Subs: 21-Shota Arai, 39-Shio Takayama, 81-Ruho Kikuchi, 2-Nanasato Iino, 7-Yosuke Iteguchi, 14-Yasuya Tideki, 17-Tatsutoku Sakurai, 25-Yuya Shoze, 38-Ura-Tozo, 44-Hidaka Mitsuka, 9-Miyashiro Daisei.
This team is a regular in the AFC Champions League knockout rounds, and has a good record in Japan's top league, Iniesta chose this team after leaving Barcelona, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Of course, playing the game is to look at the opponent's lineup to arrange the lineup, this is a routine operation, there is no big problem, and Messi did not play, except for the other stars who did not play, they have played enough. Messi, who is the core of the Miami international team, has another "groin" injury. In this case, it is completely understandable that the team does not arrange Messi to play for the risk.
Someone proposed a solution: say hello to the Hong Kong star team, don't shovel Messi, don't wrap Messi, and don't wrap up Messi, which shows that the home team, the Hong Kong star team, is not unreasonable.
This may be wishful thinking from the perspective of fans, not to mention whether the Hong Kong Stars will agree, even if the home team Hong Kong Stars agrees, the away team Miami International may not agree.
Facing a weak opponent, risking injuries to harden the core of the team, and communicating with the home team to make them deliberately let themselves, isn't this match-fixing? If you can win, why do you have to take a detour and have a reputation for being conceded?
In fact, in the last few minutes, when the overall situation has been decided, Messi can play completely, walk around, run around the periphery, no need to launch a dangerous attack, as long as he cooperates well with his teammates, and his teammates do a good job of responding, judging from the state of Messi on the field in Japan a few days later, there is no problem at all.
Taking a step back, even if Inter Miami is for Messi's safety, it is not a big problem not to let Messi play in the last minute or two. The warm-up game itself is for warm-up, and even giving up this commercial income will not allow the core of the team to take risks.
Messi did not play, and the organizers revised the remedial plan again, proposing to let Messi accept the award on behalf of Miami International and speak on stage, and interact with the fans. This should always be possible, right? After all, isn't it true that fans spend real money to buy tickets to Hong Kong just to see Messi?
However, such a remedy that could not be withdrawn was also rejected. Messi, who can sit on the sidelines and watch the game, and even play in Japan a few days later, can't even receive a trophy?
It's not a physical problem anymore, it's already a matter of professional ethics, it's a matter of attitude. Therefore, I very much agree with Huo Qigang's articles.
It's like one day, at a banquet, you suddenly meet someone you've admired for a long time. Excitedly invited him to have a drink, people said, don't drink today, you lower your specifications, say I did it, you can do it, people say that you don't drink today.
You still don't give up, and continue to lower your specifications: In this way, you change wine for tea, I did it, you are free, can you enjoy your face? As a result, it was directly ignored.
Coincidentally, the next day, this benevolent brother participated in a drinking party again, and this benevolent brother not only drank wine, but also drank a lot.
How do you feel?
Messi can look down on the strength of the Hong Kong star team, but please don't let down the enthusiasm of the fans who paid for tickets to watch the game; Messi can look down on the level of Chinese football at this stage, but please face up to the size of the Chinese football market.
Of course, until now, there are still people who are unwilling to accept this fact, and always find various reasons and reasons to convince themselves first, and then run to the comment area of others to persuade others. There's an old saying: don't try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!
There is no objection to being assertive, provided that you are sober enough first!
