Argentine fans are uneven: it is inhumane to let Messi play with an injury

The Hangzhou Sports Bureau announced the cancellation of Argentina's China match on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the announcement said: "As a commercial event, a company negotiated with the Argentine football team to come to Hangzhou for a friendly match in March this year. In view of the well-known reasons, according to the understanding from the competent authorities, the conditions for the event are not mature, and it has been decided to cancel the event.

Previously, the Argentine national team planned to start a trip to China in March 2024, including a match against Nigeria on March 18 and a match against Ivory Coast on March 26. ”

This news has caused a huge discussion in Argentina, and the reports of foreign media fanning the flames have made Argentine fans a little uneasy, for example, some media directly used: "Messi's image in China has not been completely destroyed." ”

The Argentine fan account retweeted the news and commented: "If they don't understand that Messi can't play because of an injury, then that's their problem, and the adults don't blame Beckham and Inter Miami for poor communication, but the injured Messi." The story received 350,000 views in just six hours, and a large number of voices supported the comment in the comment section.

Someone commented: "I don't see anything wrong with Messi, what can he do if he gets injured?",

Someone else commented: "They actually want Messi to play with an injury? This is real greed, they should be happy that Messi is in Hong Kong." "Some fans even said that the next thing was their loss, because they could no longer see the best players in the world perform.

Many comments are full of all kinds of "inhumane appearances with injuries", but they often ignore what the core of the problem is. Only one fan spoke more correctly, saying: "Of course, Inter Miami did not handle it properly, but Messi is not blameless, he is not just a player, he is an icon. If Michael Jordan is injured, he will come out and explain. If Nadal gets injured, he will also come out and explain. Fans want respect and responsibility because they are frugal just to pay a high ticket to see Messi, but they get it but they are absent from the game, and they don't give any explanation before and during the game. ”

In fact, this is the bad influence brought by Messi, although there are still comments that say: "Didn't Messi explain? What do you want him to do?" However, what fans need is not this kind of explanation, but to stand up and interact with the fans during the game, and say a few words to the fans, as long as Messi makes such a gesture, things don't have to develop to such a point.

Messi's explanation was made when and where? He said in a pre-match interview in Japan that his social media was posted seven minutes before the game, and only on Chinese platforms, and he also asked for a copy written by a crappy company. This explanation is more like a perfunctory explanation, and more like a solution to be able to play 30 minutes in Japan.

Let's not blur the core of the problem, the reason for the fans' dissatisfaction is not Messi's injury and Messi's inability to play, but Messi's disrespectful attitude expressed during the period.
