Messi:
Endorsements can't be lost, apologies can't be had, and before I even spoke, someone helped me clear my name, which is good.
Messi's Hong Kong Turmoil" - I finally spoke out.
On February 19, Messi finally posted on Weibo in response to the "absence in Hong Kong" incident, 15 days have passed from February 4th to today, Messi just "explained" the reason, did not apologize, and roughly expressed the following meanings. Messi himself ** responded to the controversy
Clause. 1. Denying that you cannot participate in the competition due to political or other reasons may cause misunderstanding.
Clause. Second, I really had adductor inflammation, and I was still trying 15 minutes before I played, but I finally failed, resulting in I couldn't play;
Clause. 3. He has a very special fate with China, he has donated money to China's disaster areas, and has visited China many times to visit sick young fans.
Clause. Fourth, I thank the fans who came to Hong Kong, China to support him when he went to Hong Kong, and I hope to see Chinese fans again soon, maybe he doesn't want to lose the Chinese market and business opportunities.
Clause. Fifth, the "Messi turmoil" caused by himself, that is, the different performances in Hong Kong and Japan, did not respond positively to the strong questions caused by the incident, and made clarifications and explanations, please don't misunderstand.
Regarding Messi's explanation, Hu Xijin said that Messi's attitude is quite sincere, and I accept Messi's explanation and should let the matter pass.
My opinion is inconsistent with Hu Xiwei, Messi certainly means that he is not willing to lose the Chinese market of Chinese fans, but he still wants to maintain his own image.
Of course we don't care, we wouldn't have gone to watch the game live, we didn't want to do business with Messi, Messi's game appeared on TV, and we wouldn't have deliberately closed our eyes. The pressure has come to CCTV and the Football Association and cooperative enterprises, depending on how they choose.
By the way, there were already a lot of "supportive" voices before Messi's statement, and many organizations poured out, Messi was happy, someone washed it for free, it's good.
