Plum fans may be disappointed.
Just when they were desperately washing the floor of their idol, Messi himself had already arrived in Japan and was on the bench.
In fact, it was not only Messi who played, in this exhibition match in Japan, the Miami International team was almost the main starter.
Miraculously, this Messi himself is playing in Japan, and his account has issued a painless statement.
The IP address of the account is displayed in Sichuan.
Unexpectedly, this response detonated even greater anger among netizens.
Foreign media used the "Messi Mess" to comment on the incident.
How outrageous Messi is this time, you will know after watching it.
Let's start with Messi's statement.
From the 4th to the 7th, it was a full 3 days, and this was the first official reply.
200 words, Chinese Simplified Chinese, posted on the scarf.
So, to put it bluntly, this is not for Hong Kong fans at all.
Some people say that it is because the stock price of his brand has fallen and he can't sit still.
Don't make a fuss, really, people don't look down on that money at all.
If you really care about the Chinese market, how can you make a 200-word statement that is insincere?
Apologies are out of the question. 200 words is already a face-appreciating.
Does it hurt or not?
Here's what the statement says:
"Unfortunately, I didn't play in the friendly match in Hong Kong because of a groin injury, my injury was swollen and painful. ”
What did he say at the Japanese press conference?
"An MRI was done, and it showed swelling of the adductor muscles, but it wasn't a muscle injury. ”
Note that this check was not done in Hong Kong, but after the second match of the Arab tour.
When I arrived in Hong Kong, I didn't play, just because the adductor muscles were still "uncomfortable".
I didn't hurt for a while, I was hurt for a while, it seems that whether there is an injury or not, it depends entirely on the mood.
No. 4 can't play yet, and the next day is like flying?
was able to recover miraculously within two days, so that netizens couldn't help but shout: A medical miracle was born!
Before the game, when the team signed with Hong Kong, it was clearly promised that Messi would play for at least 45 minutes.
During the open training session on Feb. 3, the Miami team told Hong Kong that there was "no problem".
On the morning of February 4, it was still said that "Messi will play".
As a result, in the last 10 minutes of the game, he temporarily changed his hexagram and said that he was "unable to play", citing "injury".
The fans excitedly waited for the last 10 minutes, only to be "unavailable".
Inside the Hong Kong Stadium, 40,000 fans let out a tsunami-like boo, and everyone was full of anger, disappointment, and sadness.
Apologies? That's not there.
After the organizers confirmed that Messi could not play, the SAR government immediately took a series of remedial measures.
For example, let the organizer coordinate, and at the end of the game, let Messi personally explain to the fans and accept the award on behalf of the team.
Everyone has seen the situation later.
Knowing that the players were waiting in line for the chief executive to present the award, Uncle Mei still put his hands in his pockets and walked around the chief executive's back.
Is the thigh uncomfortable and affecting the vocal cords?
During the entire Hong Kong trip, Uncle Mei had zero appearances, zero speeches, and zero smiles.
It's no wonder that the chief executive's daughter posted an article denouncing him as "disgusting and shameless".
However, the chief executive's daughter still underestimated his "disgusting shamelessness".
After Messi arrived in Japan, he actively cooperated with every link.
I participated in the press conference, the dinner, the pre-match training, and the game was also played.
Even, in his busy time, he made a special appointment to meet with the "No. 1 Cowherd in Japan" and presented his signed sneakers with both hands.
The Japanese media know how to fan the flames.
"Nikkan Sports" said that in the 15-minute training camp open to the public, there was no sign of Messi's poor form.
Tickets for exhibition matches in Japan are only half that of Hong Kong, but the National Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 60,000 people, has less than half of the spectators.
There are a large number of empty seats on the scene.
Even so, Messi did not forget to wave to the crowd during the game.
In Hong Kong, the 40,000-capacity Hong Kong Stadium is packed, and as far as the eye can see, there are number 10 jerseys.
Many fans even rushed over from the mainland, and there were many children from Xinjiang as far as possible.
There are even Li Zekai, He Chaoqiong, Lin Jianyue, wealthy Kuotai Gambi, Li Jiaxin and others in the VIP area.
Even the super social fear Tony Leung also came with Carina Lau.
However, whether it is an ordinary fan who comes all the way or a political and business tycoon who takes time out of his busy schedule, they are all ignored by Messi without difference.
The audience did not deserve Messi's stop, wave and smile.
Really, a piece of affection fed to the dog.
How much sincerity did the Hong Kong government express in order to welcome Messi?
A Chinese-style sailing ship with Messi's face cruising in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour.
Everywhere there are huge promotional posters featuring Messi.
Even the officials who were present wore the number 10 jersey.
The Hong Kong government is also willing to contribute a budget of 16 million to support the competition.
It's really enough from the inside to the face.
You know, it's not a professional league.
This is an exhibition match of a commercial nature.
To put it bluntly, I paid you to perform.
The contract is also clearly written, with a minimum of 45 minutes played.
has been doing propaganda in the name of Messi in front, and when people arrived, they didn't do anything except put on a stinky face the whole time.
No wonder fans say it's "the biggest scam in the history of sports" and a class action lawsuit has been launched.
However, the lawsuit is also difficult to solve the anger in my heart.
It's been ten years since Messi last came to port.
The whole Hong Kong welcomed it so ceremoniously, but in exchange for a hot face and a cold ass.
What's even more infuriating is that when people arrive in Japan, they immediately change their faces and happily express that they are happy to come to Japan.
In the comment area of the Japanese forum, there was a cheer.
Messi slapped the Chinese fans in the face, as if giving them a bad breath.
After understanding so many causes and consequences, and looking at Huo Qigang's two articles, you can especially understand his anger.
As a recognized wealthy family, Huo Dashao has been caught walking on the street by the paparazzi on the way to chase his wife, and for so many years, he has hardly seen him show other emotions in public.
can force Huo Dashao to write two thousand-word essays, and tear them up online, Messi is the first person.
Huo Qigang's first article mentioned "respect".
He quoted NBA Hall of Famer Irving:
Respect is far more important and powerful than popularity.
The implication is that it's very stupid to think you're popular enough to start putting on a score and disrespecting others.
Messi should really learn from traditional Chinese opera artists on this point.
Last year, in a village in Zhumadian, Henan, the actors of the Henan Daai Troupe were ushered in.
said that it would be performed 9 times in 3 days, and the village knew it.
But when the first show started, the sky changed and it started to snow.
However, the stage entrance faces north, and the actors pour a mouthful of snowflakes as soon as they open their mouths.
Several actors even fell a few times.
There are 45 people in the troupe, except for logistics, and the cast and crew are all on the stage.
Sitting in the audience was a teenage child with an umbrella.
Even so, the actors on stage still meticulously dressed up and sang.
Netizens were deeply moved, but the head of the troupe said:
"We have a rule when we sing, as long as the gong starts, we can't stop, and we must finish the play. ”
This is not a special regulation of a certain opera troupe, but the consensus of the traditional Chinese opera industry.
Another troupe is even more moving.
It was also a snowy day, and there was no audience in the audience, and the actors still performed seriously.
What is "the play is bigger than the sky" is to always respect the stage and the audience.
I always respect my profession and my costume.
No matter who is sitting in the audience or how many people are seated, the people on the stage are always serious and never perfunctory.
That's legacy.
It's clear that Messi has cultivated a top-notch game, but he doesn't have the work ethic to match.
In fact, what makes people more angry and speechless than Messi's loss of morality is the unprincipled whitewashing of brain-dead fans.
Why do so many brands dare to insult China again and again?
It's because they know too well that no matter how lively the shouting is, when a gust of wind passes, they will buy what should be bought.
Now even a football star dares to "trample" on the elaborate arrangements of the entire Hong Kong government, and there are still people kneeling and licking.
What is there to wash?
It's not the first time to look down on the Chinese.
At the time of the Wenchuan earthquake, he said that the earthquake had nothing to do with football.
During a visit to China in 2008, he refused to take photos with children who survived the Wenchuan earthquake.
He turned around and donated 300 million euros, equivalent to 10 million yuan, for the earthquake in Japan.
This kind of black material is simply not too much.
But what's the use, a gust of wind passes, and it's still kneeling and licking that should be done.
How many celebrities in the sports and entertainment circles take "stepping on China and insulting China" as zhengzhi correct, and brush themselves with a wave of prestige.
Chinese don't like it? Coincidentally, they don't like you either.
So, if you have that time, it's better to feed a stray dog.
Affectionately fed the dog, at least the dog still knows how to wag its tail.
