Due to historical and cultural differences, there has always been a huge difference between the mainland or the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of cultural products, historical memory, mass character, public opinion orientation, and many other aspects.
However, when Messi had just pigeoned nearly 40,000 fans in Hong Kong on the grounds of physical discomfort, and then jumped up and down in Japan, public opinion across the Taiwan Strait and the three places was surprisingly unanimous -- scolding Messi.
On February 4, Messi's Miami International team held a commercial match in Hong Kong against the Hong Kong League Star Team, and nearly 40,000 fans from all over the country came to Messi (after all, Miami International without Messi is Jin Jude - I haven't heard of it).
The whole city decorated billboards, streets, sailboats, etc., in order to welcome Messi, and for a time Hong Kong became a huge Messi theme park.
Hong Kong's chief executive John Lee is here, Financial Secretary Paul Chan is here, singer Deng Ziqi, actors Tony Leung, Carina Lau... waited for celebrities to come, Deng Ziqi sang two songs on the spot, in order to take care of Messi from Argentina, the Spanish version was sung.
Politicians, businessmen, and celebrities are circling around, offering good food and drink, taking tens of millions of appearance fees, and raising the power of the whole city to serve you Messi, what you want is for you Messi to take two steps off the field.
As a result, people are not willing to take a single step.
After arriving on the field, Messi sat in the sideline rest area, sitting like an ordinary spectator for 90 minutes, until the game was over, he still didn't take off his coat, didn't change his shoes, and kept talking and laughing with his peers next to him, looking in good spirits.
Seeing that Messi was improvised, he was only willing to provide all support except cooperation, and the organizers could only grit their teeth and barely maintain order and continue the next award ceremony.
And when all the fans were already extremely disappointed, the scene frequently booed, and the fans shouted for a refund, the 37-year-old Messi put his hands in his pockets, not knowing what the opponent was, and swaggered around the chief executive and left directly with a group of teammates.
And the reason why he died like this, the reason given after (watching) the game was actually -
I'm sick.
When discussing the injury, Messi first said that he had muscle pain, then said that he was not injured, and then said that he was just a little unwell, and yesterday he said on Weibo that he was because of a groin injury.
We don't know what kind of injury this is, anyway, according to the symptoms at present, this is probably a disease that can not play football and shake hands and affects the language function to a certain extent, after all, he didn't even say a word of apology to the fans at the scene, and Deng Ziqi had more signed photos than him at the scene.
But what really caused the public's anger was Messi's Japan two days later...
In Hong Kong, there is no kicking, no group photos, Messi with his hands in his pockets goes to Japan and snaps in the groin, and in the second half of the game with the Kobe victory ship, he hit an upside-down golden hook, and the fans of the three places on both sides of the strait of China are bleeding in their hearts, and they can't sleep in the middle of the night.
Messi, who has a huge amount of money in China and doesn't do a little after-sales service, went to Japan to hug and shake hands and take a group photo, I don't know if you recognize the following person, which is too familiar to us Japanese majors - he is the first male public relations in Japan and the highest-paid cowherd Roland in Japan.
In Roland's post, Messi not only took a photo with Roland, signed Roland, and even exerted his spiritual value to encourage Roland to be the champion, no matter which one of them, it is unimaginable for fans of Hong Kong Stadium whose ticket price is several times that of the Japanese stadium.
You have to say that with Messi's recovery speed, it's no wonder that even Lu Xun had to go to Japan to study medicine.
China is not west, Japan is west.
But there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not)
In the 6 preseason games of Miami International, Messi lost all, but Hong Kong, which did not have Messi, won.
It can only be said that losing is not terrible, who is embarrassed by whom. (Scolding the national football team for killing two birds with one stone)
The main point of controversy in public opinion at present is actually that Messi, Inter Miami, and the organizer Tatler do not seem to take disappointing Chinese fans seriously, not to mention that nearly 40,000 fans have spent real money for this game.
Those hotel tickets, tickets, meals, government investment, if Sichuan Messi wants to write off just a Weibo that is not salty or light, then he is really Hiroshima for four or five years, and the United States has blown up...
If the fact is really like the current public information, Messi's playing time is indicated in the contract, then this is not without sportsmanship, this is no commercial spirit, no contract spirit, then then the law should also be attributed to the law, and the compensation should be compensated, otherwise everyone will not play if they don't want to play in the future, then the stadium will not become a huge rice circle, and 22 Zheng Shuang on the field will pass people with the ball.
You must know that Ronaldo was unable to play football due to injury before, so he apologized ➕ for refunding ➕ the hotel ticket and compensated for the hotel ticket, and he was afraid that the voice would be victimized.
On Messi's side, it is actually destined to be difficult to recover his image, because it involves a question of whether Messi is subjective and deliberate, and now the vast majority of people in Hong Kong, the mainland, and even Taiwan think so.
After all, the four taboos of contemporary times are - the salesperson says that the customer does not work hard, the chef scolds the diner for not splitting his tongue, the actor makes a face with the audience, and the store tells the consumer that I am your father.
And Messi's performance this time is probably to the extent that I am your ancestral grave.
It's only been two days, my God, from Hulk Messi to hospitable Messi, to a rising power with a population of 1.4 billion people to perform Sichuan drama change face, you really have a true temperament, you must know that just a few days ago, the Chinese's impression of Messi was still in the image of a gentle big brother.
As a player, what you can provide to the audience is emotional value, if everyone looks at you and makes a mistake, then you don't talk about hanging the golden hook upside down, it's useless for you to hang the fish hook upside down.
And this is not the first time Messi has thrown his face in China.
In the 2010 Barcelona trip to China, Messi and his entourage were invited by the Beijing government and UNICEF to send material and spiritual help to the children in the earthquake-stricken area, but the children on the scene waited for nearly half an hour before the group was late, the children wanted to play football with the players were refused, the reporter proposed to play the nine-square grid game together was also refused, and finally the children were invited out of the football field, can only play on the surrounding track...
At the time, it was clear that the local news practitioners were unhappy, after all, they gave the headline at the time
At that time, the self-media was still very underdeveloped, the communication efficiency was very low, and Messi was far from being as famous as he is today, it is understandable to say that he has no right to speak, but what to do today, the only cash cow is Messi's Miami International, and Messi said that it doesn't matter, everything is arranged by the team, it is really a dead duck to open his eyes, duck is not necessary.
But if there's one thing that has done the slightest good, it's that it's in Hong Kong.
As I said at the beginning, due to various reasons, it is difficult for the mainland and Hong Kong, and the mainland and Taiwan to empathize with each other on many things, coupled with the characteristics of Internet polarization and information cocoons, the-for-tat and rift between the two sides are always growing unilaterally.
As an "old money" developed due to its special location and political positioning, Hong Kong and Taiwan will naturally be unable to empathize with the various injustices and difficulties suffered by the mainland, and face all kinds of insults to China, differential treatment, and even mocking glass-hearted voices.
As we all know, the knife does not hurt if it hits oneself, and when we see the familiar poisonous mouth of the Hong Kong media in the newspaper, we know that they are probably indeed in pain.
In addition to the media, the disappointment and anger shown by public opinion from all walks of life in Hong Kong are also very rare to merge with the mainland, as for Taiwan, some people have even dug out the "underlying logic" of Messi's drastic change in attitude.
If Messi's double standard this time can make many Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots empathize with more empathy on mainland issues in 2024, then it can also be said that Messi's flashing and moving is not in vain, Sichuan Opera has changed its face, and it is a golden hook upside down...
On the night of the West Division, only Messi was removed, and the family was not affectionate.
Passed on, Messi is probably a year beast.
