Argentina warm-up match or transfer to the United States, Messi's motives are already obvious, and it is meaningless for fans to wash their white
On February 10, 2024, Beijing time, the Messi incident, which has been boiling recently, is still fermenting. After Huo Qigang spoke out three times to criticize Messi, and Tatler Asia, the organizer of the Hong Kong trip, decided to refund 50% to the fans who watched the game, the Argentine media "Ole" exposed another news that shocked Chinese fans: due to the cancellation of the warm-up match in China in March, the venue of the Argentine national team's warm-up match may be switched to the United States due to China.
Since the organizers and Messi himself did not give a reasonable explanation to Chinese fans after the trip to Hong Kong and Japan, from beginning to end, the reason why Messi did not play was still explained as Messi's groin injury. But it is clear that Messi's appearance in Kobe, Japan, completely overturns this statement. What's more, the injury is not a reason for Messi to blackface and refuse to shake hands with the chief executive in Hong Kong.
In fact, the reason why Messi dared to make a fuss about Hong Kong was not because he was afraid of the amount of money or the money in the Chinese market. On the contrary, Messi's blatant antagonism to China is likely to be promised the greater interests of other ideologies. The exposure of "Ole Daily" completely revealed the ZZ background behind the Messi incident, and at the same time, it also frustrated the desire of some Mei fans to try to "whitewash" Messi.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to discuss whether Messi is injured or not, whether Tatler Asia has any requirements for Messi's playing time, and whether there are disagreements between Messi and Beckham and Miami International. Obviously, Messi is deliberately on the ideological side. Otherwise, Messi's Argentine national team would not have changed the venue of the warm-up match from China to the United States when the matter was so serious.
Of course, this Messi incident is also worthy of our reflection. With the increasing popularity of social media in recent years, the so-called fan culture has penetrated into the field of sports, and has formed a special phenomenon of sports "fan circle" that is detached from the essence of competition. Now, should we also reflect on why we imagined a "high-quality idol" like Messi as what we like and yearn for?
