Recently, Messi's injury and his performance on different occasions have attracted widespread attention and heated discussions among Chinese fans. From the absence of the trip to Hong Kong, to the magical comeback of the trip to Japan, to the response of his team to the injury, Messi's every move touches the hearts of Chinese fans. Sadly, however, the soccer superstar does not seem to have been able to properly handle the injury, which has caused serious damage to his image in the hearts of Chinese fans.
At the pre-match press conference for Inter Miami's warm-up match against Newell's Old Boys, head coach Martino revealed the reason behind Messi's recent appearance. He explained that Messi played only 10 minutes in the match against Riyadh Victory due to inflammation of his adductor muscles. This explanation seems to provide a reasonable explanation for Messi's absence during his trip to Hong Kong. However, when we turn our gaze to Messi's own response, we find a perplexing contradiction. Messi himself claimed that he suffered a groin injury, which is very different from what Martino said was an inflammation of the adductor muscles. This inconsistent rhetoric has left Chinese fans feeling hoodwinked and deceived, and Messi's credibility has been called into question as a result.
Messi's arrogant attitude in the face of Chinese fans. Even if he is really injured and cannot play, Messi can personally explain the reason to the fans after the game to show his sincerity and respect. However, he chose to hide and remain silent, and this way of treating the fans undoubtedly deepened the dissatisfaction and disappointment of the fans. In contrast, a player like Cristiano Ronaldo has always been able to actively communicate with the fans when faced with similar situations, showing his affability and professionalism. This contrast has made Messi's image even more bleak in the minds of Chinese fans. Messi left Argentina at the age of 13 to play in Spain, and the six years he spent at Newell's Old Boys Club in Argentina meant a lot to him. This friendly against his old club was supposed to be a special moment for Messi, an opportunity to show his emotions and love for football. However, due to his mishandling of injuries and treatment of fans, this particular moment has become a source of pain and frustration in the hearts of Chinese fans.
It's not hard to see Messi's lack of handling the PR crisis and communicating with fans. As a world-class football superstar, Messi must not only show excellent skills and performance on the field, but also show good professionalism and public image off the field. However, this injury turmoil has exposed his shortcomings and shortcomings in these aspects. For Messi, if he wants to win back the hearts of Chinese fans and rebuild his image, he needs to seriously reflect on how he behaved and handled the incident. He needs to be honest about his injuries and give consistent and clear explanations. He needs to learn to respect and treat the fans who have always supported him, and to develop mutual understanding and trust through positive interaction and communication. Only in this way can Messi regain the love and support of Chinese fans and continue to show his football charm in future matches.
