Messi played in Japan! 6 preseason games only missed Hong Kong, China, posted a Weibo special article
Messi came off the bench to play! This means that Messi has only missed Hong Kong in six preseason games, and his form is completely different in just two days.
Looking back on Messi's entire trip to Japan, it can be summed up in four words, that is, "proactive" - as a substitute, he changed into sneakers early and waited on the sidelines, and took off his coat to warm up many times.
In the second half of the game, at 59:33, Messi came on as a substitute and replaced his teammate No. 41.
Messi, who came to the field, had a serious expression, taking the initiative to communicate tactics with his teammates, while observing around, looking very focused.
In addition to being proactive on the field, Messi is also very proactive off the field in Japan, taking the initiative to greet people when he gets off the plane, taking the initiative to hold a single press conference, actively training before the game, and taking the initiative to take photos with the Japanese cowherd at the dinner......
In February 2024, Messi traveled to Hong Kong, China with the American club Miami International, and was warmly welcomed by local fans.
Unexpectedly, Messi did not play in the end, but just sat on the sidelines to watch the whole game, didn't even bother to change his shoes, refused to speak after the game, refused to interact with fans, and even put his hands in his pockets to bypass the crowd and didn't even bother to wave his hands.
is also a commercial match, so different treatment of Chinese and Japanese fans, Messi should have given a reasonable explanation, but Messi himself and his club did not respond for a long time, until they left Hong Kong for Tokyo, and waited until the official start of the Japan tour to finally post, and there was no word of sorry in the full text.
Judging from the attitude of netizens, Messi's response was too late, and it was full of loopholes, netizens didn't buy it at all, Messi's post was located in Sichuan, it couldn't be released by me at all, it was a special apology, and Messi's extranet account couldn't see the relevant content.
Not only that, Messi's Weibo response contradicted his own statement, Messi said at the Japanese press conference that he was not injured, but he was uncomfortable, some muscle edema, and when he turned his head, it became a groin injury, and his injury was swollen and painful.
What's even more ironic is that Messi's trip to China and Japan are less than two days apart, the front foot Messi was absent from the Hong Kong friendly match, and the back foot Messi landed in Japan to participate in training, and he could run and twist and shoot, and suddenly injured and healed quickly within three days, which is a medical miracle, and he can also play as a substitute.
At this time, looking at Messi's repeated expression of the hope that he can travel to China again, his purpose can be said to be obvious, Messi's two trips to China have made a lot of money, and a private meeting ticket will cost 160,000, whether his response is really regretful, or worried that he will not be able to make money in China in the future, everyone should know in their hearts.
There are also rumors that Messi plans to go to Hangzhou in March 2024 for the third trip to China within a year, and if the negative impact is not eliminated in time, Messi is very likely to lose all the Chinese market, which is a big loss.
In addition, by the way, Messi's ticket sales in Japan are very average, and they have not been sold out until the opening, and the organizers have even opened the halftime ticket sales, and Messi's ability to attract money at the end of his career has long been not as good as before.
Finally, I once again lamented that the Chinese market is sometimes too tolerant, and for foreign celebrities like Messi who don't respect us and still have to make money, there are fans who continue to whitewash, but fortunately, most people are still sober.
