In the match between Miami International and Hong Kong, China, the much-anticipated Messi did not play, which attracted widespread attention. Speaking after the game, head coach Martino explained that it was a team decision based on the player's injury situation, but such a response clearly did not quell the discontent of the public.
Many fans came to the scene from far away, but they failed to see their favorite stars, and Huo Qigang also publicly demanded an apology from the organizers. As the situation escalated and more details about the incident were revealed, the responsibility of the organizers and the accusations of the public intensified.
Messi did not play and refused to participate in the post-match activities
Although the Hong Kong team performed well in the game on the 4th, Messi's absence was a deep disappointment for the SAR government and fans. As a sponsor, the SAR government has reached a sponsorship agreement with the organiser, Tatler, which clearly stipulates Messi's playing time. However, the organisers had confirmed before the game that Messi would play in the second half, but in the end he was unable to appear.
The SAR government was very dissatisfied with Messi's absence and immediately made a request to the organizers, asking them to contact the team immediately and find out the reason. The organisers later explained that Messi was unavailable due to injury. Although the SAR government reconfirmed Messi's unavailability 10 minutes before the end of the game, they did not give up their efforts to remedy the situation.
The SAR government put forward a number of suggestions, including asking Messi to personally apologize to the fans and accept the award on behalf of the team, hoping to make up for the fans' disappointment. However, these proposals ultimately failed to materialize. This is a huge disappointment for the SAR government and the fans, who want to be better arranged and compensated.
Huo Qigang spoke out! Demanding an apology from Messi
Huo Qigang emphasized that Tatler's recent hype with the gimmick of "football king" Messi has led to the rapid sell-out of tickets, which has aroused high expectations from citizens and fans.
On the day of the game, many citizens gathered near the Hong Kong Stadium four hours in advance, expecting to catch a glimpse of Messi. He believes that Tatler and the Miami International team should apologize and explain to the entire Hong Kong community.
Fok Qigang also said that although the Miami international team received a high remuneration to come to Hong Kong, Messi did not play, and the team did not take other ways to increase interaction with the public, respond to and meet the expectations and support of the public. He believes that this attitude lacks respect for fans and Hong Kong citizens and is unacceptable.
The reaction of the fans to the matter
For foreign stars, they may feel that Chinese fans are more "silly and sweet", and there is also the fact that Chinese money is too easy to earn. When Inter Miami and Hong Kong played an exhibition match at the Hong Kong Stadium, Messi was absent and the fans booed at the end of the game.
According to reports, the fans at the scene were strongly dissatisfied with Messi's non-appearance, and when Miami International held the ball, a large number of fans booed and shouted "Return water (Guangdong fans' shouts)! Refund tickets!", indicating that they were very dissatisfied with the game.
This phenomenon reflects the high level of interest and expectation of Chinese audiences for foreign stars and football sports events. Although Messi was unavailable for this game, his influence remains.
However, the Miami International team did not increase its interaction with the public in other ways to respond to and meet the expectations and support of the public, which is obviously disrespectful to the fans and the people of Hong Kong. This attitude is regrettable and unacceptable.
Analysis of the reasons why Messi does not play
After the domestic fans saw this scene, their hearts were deeply stabbed. Plum Ball King, this player who is loved by everyone and personally appreciated by top billionaires Lin Jianyue, Li Zekai, He Chaoqiong, etc., is so ruthless? What did the fans do wrong?
In fact, it's not the fans' fault. The change in attitude may stem from his growing influence. He used to be an amiable big boy who was always happy to interact with the fans and take pictures. Even in the face of violent criminal police, he was able to deal with it calmly and chose to leave the scene in protest. However, this time he reacted differently to the Hong Kong fans who were shouting for a refund because he did not play.
The anger of the king of the plum ball suggests that he may have become too egotistical to accept any form of opposition. He seems to believe that the fans should support him unconditionally, even if he is injured. This mentality clearly lacks empathy, and he can't understand the frustration of the fans.
Many netizens have expressed that they hope that the plum ball king can stand up and give a reasonable explanation. His actions have deeply hurt the hearts of Hong Kong fans. But so far, he has not responded to this matter. This once kind big boy has now become so unruly, which is really embarrassing.
Messi won't play in Japan because he has no choice
Messi's absence in Hong Kong has indeed caused a lot of turmoil, which has undoubtedly brought a lot of impact to his public image. Whether he will play or withdraw from his game in Japan is a question to ponder.
If Messi chooses not to play in Japan, then he will need to face two possible consequences.
First, if he again did not give advance notice, as he did in Hong Kong, it would undoubtedly deepen his irresponsible image in the eyes of the public and may even put him in a more difficult situation.
Second, if he declares in advance that he will not be able to play due to injury and refund the ticket fee, this may alleviate the negative perception of the public to a certain extent. However, if he does not do so in Hong Kong, his image in the public eye may be further damaged.
On the other hand, if Messi chooses to play in Japan, it may be able to regain some public trust for him. However, this could also spark more controversy, especially if he doesn't perform well in the game or if the team loses, which could make an already tarnished image even worse.
The key to solving this problem may lie in how Messi handles the issue of returning money in Hong Kong. If he can solve this problem soon, then he may be able to gain more public understanding and support in the Japanese competition. However, if this problem continues, then his image may continue to be negatively affected regardless of whether he plays in Japan or not.
Do netizens have anything to say?
