In February, Messi responded to the statement that he could not participate in the Hong Kong Tournament on social media, but was pointed out by fans as an obvious mistake.
Such a statement called into question Messi's response, and many fans thought of himThis time I made a mistake again。Some suspect that it was a mistake by his team, while others believe that Messi himself was careless.
Messi said in ** that he was inSaudi StationI felt the injury in the first game, so I missed the game. But this statement proved to be false.
According to the records of Inter Miami's Asian tour, Messi was the first player in that gameAnd played 88 minutes。That match was the Miami International vs Riyadh Crescent,MessiHe also scored a penalty and set up a team-mate's goal. This shows that Messi seems to be confusing the facts on this issue.
Until the 88th minute of the gameMessi was substituted。In the second game against Riyadh, Messi only came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute.
If there was already a feeling of injury in the previous game, in the second he should not have been sent on the pitch. Because as Messi himself said, playing on the pitch can make the injury worse.
Messi in **This misstep and public statements convey at least two messages。First of all, Messi's response may not represent his true personal thoughts, but from behindDone by a sponsor or team
After all, for Messi himself, the incident will damage his image and make less money at most, but for the brand side, it will damage their brand image.
Messi can give up revenue in the Chinese market, but brands cannot. Secondly,Messi's behind-the-scenes team made a mistake！They didn't even know how many games Messi played in Asia.
If it were Messi himself, he would certainly not have made such a serious mistake. For a player, he should know best when he is injured and when he comes on. And, in that game,Messi also scored a penalty and set up a team-mate to score, and it is impossible to make mistakes easily.
Therefore, the only reason that can explain Messi's controversy is that there was a serious mistake in the planning process. Some fans said that if it had not been for this mistake,Messi's explanations and responses may seem more sincereand play a certain role in saving. But because of such a glaring error, the whole response was greatly diminished.
The necessity of the reminder lies in,Just after Messi responded, Hu Xijin quickly commented on Messi's apology on social **.
From a personal point of view, he showed that he agreed with Messi's explanation. At least from his point of view, Messi's failure to participate in the Hong Kong tournament was only due to simple injury reasonsNo other complications are involved
This also shows that Messi actively stood up and clarified this time, and it did play a certain role. It is only unknown whether Messi and the Argentine team will successfully come to China to participate in football matches in the future.
