Messi, a football legend, attracts the passion and attention of countless fans wherever he is. Every appearance he makes is a visual feast, and every goal he scores is a shock to the soul. He is not only the soul of Barcelona, but also the leader and banner of the Argentine national team. His football career, full of honors and glory, has also experienced setbacks and difficulties. With his talent and hard work, he has won the respect and love of the whole world.
In November, Messi had planned to move to China to play two friendly games with his MLS team, Internacional Miami. The two matches were played against Chinese Super League side Qingdao Manatee and Chinese League One side Newell Old Boy. This is Messi's first time in China as a Miami international player and his first time playing against a Chinese team since playing for MLS. This is undoubtedly an exciting and exciting thing for the Chinese football community and fans. After all, being able to watch a world-class superstar like Messi perform up close is a rare opportunity and enjoyment.
However, just as Messi's trip to China was about to arrive, there was a surprise and disappointment news: two friendly matches may be canceled! According to the Northwest Lookout Stand, the organizers have been actively communicating with the local government, but the approval of the competition has not come down, so this is why they have not announced the ticket plan. Moreover, Internacional Miami does not accept playing a single game, and if they cannot communicate with both Qingdao Manatee and Newell Old Boys, they may give up the entire trip to China.
As soon as this news was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention and discussion of all parties. Why didn't the competition approval come down? Is it because of epidemic prevention and control? Or is it for some other reason? If two friendlies are cancelled, what does it mean for Messi, Miami International, Qingdao Manatee, Newell Old Boys, as well as Chinese football and fans?
First of all, for Messi, this trip to China was originally a good opportunity for him to show his style and strength. As one of the best footballers in the world, Messi has a wide and loyal fan base in any country. In China, there are tens of millions of Messi fans, and their worship and love for Messi are no less than any country. Messi also attaches great importance to the Chinese market and has repeatedly expressed his love and respect for China. He also hopes to interact and communicate with Chinese fans more through this trip to China, feel Chinese culture and customs, and enhance mutual understanding and friendship.
Secondly, for Miami International, this trip to China would have been a good platform for them to enhance their visibility and influence. Miami International is a new team founded in 2018 and is currently ranked eighth in MLS. Their owner is former England captain and football star David Beckham. Their manager is former manager Phil Neville, the manager of big clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter. Their squad also includes world-class stars such as Messi, Higuain and Matuidi. They have ambitions to do well in MLS and to show their strength and style on the international stage. They chose to come to China in order to use Messi's appeal to attract more attention and support from Chinese fans and enhance their brand value and market share.
Thirdly, for Qingdao Manatee, this trip to China would have been a good opportunity to exchange and learn from world-class teams. Qingdao Manatee is a Chinese Super League team founded in 2013 and currently ranked twelfth in the Chinese Super League. Their head coach is former national football coach Gao Hongbo. Their player lineup also includes well-known domestic players such as Li Songyi, Wang Dong, and Liu Yang. They have a tenacious spirit and hope to be consistent in the Chinese Super League and to achieve good results in the domestic arena. They accepted the invitation of Miami International in order to use this friendly match to compete with world-class stars such as Messi, improve their level and experience, and enhance their confidence and fighting spirit.
Finally, for the Newell boys, this trip to China would have been a good time to reunite with the heroes of their hometown. Newell Old Boys is an Argentine Serie A team founded in 1903 and currently ranked tenth in the Serie Liga. Their head coach is former Argentina national team coach Mario Salas. Their squad also includes well-known Argentine players such as Ignacio Skoko and Maxi Rodríguez. They have a long and illustrious history, having produced football legends such as Messi and Maradona. They accepted the invitation of Miami International in order to use this friendly match to relive the old relationship with Messi and other old friends, and express their respect and gratitude to Messi and others.
To sum up, when Messi's China trip is coming, it has encountered a crisis that may be canceled. This is undoubtedly a great regret and loss for China's football community and fans. After all, this friendly match is not only a sports exchange, but also a cultural exchange. It can not only enhance the level and reputation of Chinese football, but also enhance China's friendly relations and cooperation opportunities with Argentina, the United States and other countries. It not only allows Chinese fans to enjoy the wonderful performances of world-class stars such as Messi, but also allows Messi and others to feel the enthusiasm and charm of China.
So, can this friendly match be held as scheduled? At present, the organizers have not given a final answer, but they said they are doing their best to obtain the approval of the competition and hope to successfully complete the trip to China. They also called on fans to remain patient and confident and not to give up hope easily. They believe that as long as they have enough sincerity and hard work, they will be able to overcome difficulties and realize their dreams.
We also hope that this Messi China trip can go smoothly, let us witness a football feast and experience a cultural event. We also hope that teams and players such as Messi, Miami International, Qingdao Manatee, Newell Old Boys and other teams and players can gain happiness and growth in China and build deep friendships and feelings with Chinese fans. We also hope that Chinese football can take this opportunity to improve its level and image, win glory for the country and increase prosperity for the people.
