Football has material | Revealing the truth of Messi's Hong Kong incident: there is a huge loophole in the contract Miami should be scolded but not in breach of contract
Everyone in the world scolded Ronaldo for being arrogant, and he sincerely apologized for his development conference!
Everyone in the world praises Messi for his modesty, and he didn't say a word with a black face throughout the whole process!
In less than half a month, Melo's reputation in China has been reversed at two levels, and for a time there will be many fans in China who are fans of Messi. When Messi blackened his face throughout the whole process, did not take photos and did not sign autographs, this arrogance did form a strong contrast with the enthusiasm shown by Ronaldo in China. And leaving the stadium without saying a word, you can say that he didn't take the fans into account at all.
Of course, behind this contrast, it is also related to the purpose of the organizers.
Why did Ronaldo come out and apologize after the organizers canceled the Riyadh Victory match? Because all the marketing campaigns of the organizers revolved around Ronaldo's trip to China, and the contract they signed with Riyadh Victory had clear requirements for Ronaldo's playing time. But Ronaldo couldn't play, it was Riyadh Victory's side that breached the contract, so Riyadh Victory, which was responsible for compensation, sent Ronaldo and the head coach to come out together to apologize.
Then why did Miami International not send Messi in this game, even Suarez did not send it to the game, and Miami International only the team chairman Beckham came out to say a few words after the game, and Messi did not say anything? Because according to the contract, Miami International does not need to bear any legal responsibility.
Regarding the controversy caused by Messi's non-appearance, Yang Yunxiong, director of the Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, held a press conference to respond: The government and fans from afar are very disappointed, Messi must play 45 minutes, before the start of the game yesterday, the organizer confirmed that Messi can play 45 minutes,
asked the team to arrange Messi to enter the stadium as soon as possible, but then the organizer informed us that Messi could not play due to injury, and we again asked the organizer that Messi must play. But 10 minutes before the end of the game, the organizers confirmed that Messi could not play. Finally, we again proposed some remedial measures to the organizers.
Including whether Messi can personally make some explanations to the fans, or accept the trophy on behalf of the team, etc., but in the end it didn't come true, and in the end everyone can see it, I think the organizer has the responsibility to explain to the public and the fans in person, why Messi can't play.
The head of the Hong Kong Football Association, Fok Kai-kong, criticized: "We are extremely disappointed that Messi and Suarez were not able to play in the Miami international competition. Like all the fans who watched the game, we have been eagerly waiting for Messi and Suarez to be involved, and we share the regret of all fans that Messi and Suarez are absent from this historic event. ”
But in fact, Huo Qigang understands the "strangeness" behind this better than anyone else!
In fact, the purpose of Miami International's 18-day 6-game round-the-world flight is to make money, but such a schedule has also "dragged down" many veterans of Miami International. Messi's muscle inflammation is certainly not an excuse, in fact, in the last game in Riyadh, Messi went up to pretend after 0-6 according to the contract.
In a game like the Hong Kong Stars of China, where there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, Messi just stands on the field for 45 minutes, occasionally controls the ball twice, and passes two feet, will it increase his risk of injury? A player of Messi's level is fully capable of avoiding an increase in the risk of injury when playing this kind of game.
From the perspective of Miami International - not necessary!
Although the Hong Kong media and relevant parties have been saying that it was agreed at the time of signing that Messi must play at least 45 minutes in addition to some health conditions. But in fact, when the organizers signed a contract with Miami International, they also signed two "versions" according to "health conditions": Messi's appearance is one price, and Messi's non-appearance is another price.
In short, it was the organizers in Hong Kong who gave Miami International the initiative of whether Messi would appear or not. So according to the contract, Miami International can be said to have never promised that Messi would definitely play.
And the organizers also thought of this, in the previous contract signed between the organizer and the sponsor, it was written that there would be stars, but it was not written that Messi had to appear. So the question is, is it a silent tacit agreement between the organizers and Miami International to send Sergio Busquets and Alba in the game?
Regardless of whether Messi is on the line or not, the high-priced tickets are sold, and the appearance of Busquets and Alba also means that the organizers have not breached the contract with the sponsors, and the organizers must have made a lot of money this time. At this time, it is actually a correct nonsense to come out and say that the sponsorship money may be deducted due to Messi's failure to play. Because according to the terms of the contract, Messi's appearance fee is lower than Messi's appearance.
The reason why the organizers and relevant parties in Hong Kong have come out to criticize Messi and Miami International is obviously to divert the contradictions. When all the important figures in Hong Kong were present, the chief executive even put on the Miami international jersey and stood on the platform in person, but the organizers messed up the matter, provoked the chief executive to have a black face all the way, and the organizers needed to give an explanation to the Hong Kong government!
