The chief executive criticized by name: This matter is not over, Messi arrived in Japan and smiled, which was foreshadowed two years ago
Although Messi has left Hong Kong, China with Miami International, this no-show incident continues to ferment, and with Messi's every move in Japan, the Chinese football market has exploded. The point is that this incident is no longer an incident in football circles, and has even risen to the point of potentially becoming a diplomatic storm. Because this competition is highly valued by the Special Administrative Region, and even prepared to give the organizer of this competition a subsidy of 16 million, hoping that there will be more such high-level competitions in the future. But what I didn't expect was that Inter Miami and Messi played us and the organizers together.
More than a day has passed since Messi's Miami International no-show, and there is still no response from the other party, and he has already started his trip to Japan. Hong Kong's chief executive, John Lee, couldn't sit still, and he took the initiative to name Messi at an executive meeting, saying that Messi's failure to appear as promised was extremely disappointing. And the chief executive said that this matter will not be settled like this, and asked the organizers to give the cause of the incident. Since there is no way to ask Messi or Miami International how to do it, they can only ask the organizers to give a reasonable explanation, because this matter has already damaged the image.
At the award ceremony of the game, Messi put his hands in his pockets and bypassed the chief executive, who was presenting the award, and he did not accept the award. Didn't anyone tell him who was presenting the awards? A humble and low-key person on the surface, but in his bones he is so arrogant? At present, the Miami group that left Hong Kong, China has arrived in Tokyo, Japan, and Messi's every move has attracted the attention of domestic fans. And after he arrived in Hong Kong, he was in a state of confusion and expressionlessness throughout the whole process, which was in stark contrast.
At the same time, the ticket price of Messi's trip to Japan is only 1/4 to 1/2 of the Hong Kong ticket, which gives people the feeling that they have come to us to be deceived, and when they come to Japan, they can give back to the fans a little bit of discount. His Barcelona friend Andres Iniesta is also on hand and will feature later in the match between Inter Miami and Vissel Kobe. Looking at this match against Kobe Victory Ship by various factors, Messi is likely to be on the field. Of course, even if he doesn't play, it won't change the fact that he has a bad reputation in China.
In fact, in an incident 2 years ago, it was already indicated that Messi did not pay attention to the Chinese fan market. In the 2022 Paris Saint-Germain recording the video of the Spring Festival greetings, Mbappe and Neymar all appeared, and only Messi did not appear in several supergiants, which had already caused dissatisfaction among some domestic fans at that time. If the problem can be blamed on Inter Miami this time, then when Paris prepared blessings for Chinese fans two years ago, Messi did not give blessings, so can this still be blamed on the club?
