Official announcement! Messi was selected for the Japanese tournament list, and the king of the ball went to Japan to play or cause controversy!
Inter Miami played a winning match against Kobe at 18:00 local time on February 7. Ahead of the match, Vissel Kobe officially announced Messi's place in the squad for Inter Miami. It's unclear if he'll play, but he's 100 percent offensive to fans and damage his reputation.
Miami's international team arrived in Hong Kong, China over the weekend to participate in the business football match of the Hong Kong national football team, and Messi was contractually required to play in one of the matches.
The organizers of the match revealed that the Miami international team identified Messi as a bench player before the start of the game, but at half-time, Messi was unable to play due to injury.
Chinese fans are very unhappy with Messi's cold attitude. Despite the large number of supporters online, Inter Miami and Lionel Messi were unmoved, and the team departed early from Hong Kong, China, for an Asian tour in Tokyo, Japan.
Messi smiled happily when he came to Japan for a press conference, but he also gave a simple explanation of why he couldn't play: "After testing, my muscles showed some edema, I didn't get hurt, but I felt very uncomfortable. "I really want to play, but unfortunately it's hard to play now. I would like to have another chance to play in Hong Kong, China in the future.
Therefore, the day after Messi arrived in Japan, he had a joint training session with the team at Miami International, and there was no injury at all, which made Chinese fans very suspicious, and they even wondered if Messi deliberately did not give face to Chinese fans before he would play a match between Miami International Club and Kobe Victory.
Prior to this, Miami International did not make any official announcements, and the official Kobe Victory Boat has released the starting list for this time, and Messi is on the bench of Miami International.
Whether Messi plays or not, he will offend a club's supporters. Messi's excellent performance in Japan will make Japanese fans extremely happy, but it will also make Chinese fans unhappy. Fans in China won't be outraged by his absence, but fans in Japan won't.
