Foreign media has not released it yet, Messi specially recorded a video for Chinese fans to explain the reason for visiting Hong Kong without fighting, and looks forward to seeing each other again
As the protagonists of the "Miami visit to Hong Kong", Messi and Beckham's statements can be described as very crucial. Prior to this, the boss of the Chinese New Year Bei released a video, adding Chinese elements, although there was no direct "apology", but it can be regarded as easing the relationship, which is an active and positive measure. And tonight, Messi's appearance and attitude in the Chinese media can be regarded as "complete" the closed loop, making it possible for this incident to gradually subside.
In a personal video posted on social media, Messi said that he no longer wants to be bothered by all kinds of fake news, so he wants to explain the problem again. He said that he was really suffering from an "adductor injury", so he was still injured and couldn't compete. At the same time, Messi said that this time his "problem" with Hong Kong is absolutely not mixed with any "political problems", "personal dissatisfaction", and "emotional factors", and it is a problem caused by pure injury. He has been to China many times in Barcelona and the national team, and has a very deep affection and understanding of Chinese fans.
On the whole, the mode of recording and publishing videos is definitely much better than the previous apology of "fake accounts". However, the same information has not been released in foreign media for the time being, which is also a point that the majority of netizens are very concerned about. If it is only a speech aimed at domestic groups, is it "not sincere enough"?
In addition, the release of social media and the "apology" that everyone wants are indeed not of the same magnitude. And the timing is relatively "late". Of course, being able to take the initiative (forced) due to pressure can be regarded as the responsibility of an "international" club. Miami, which aims to develop the market, naturally realized the seriousness of the problem, so the arrangement of this incident was inevitable. For them, it would be a great thing to end the controversy. After all, time is the best medicine to heal the wound, and what they want is everyone's "forgetting".
However, it remains to be seen whether it can win back market share. The Hong Kong government will certainly respond to this, and their attitude is crucial, after all, as the same parties, they are the "injured party". Whether you can accept the other party's "apology", what is your attitude towards them, and how to arrange it next is a very important thing. Also, this will be a "demonstration effect", if the Hong Kong government recognizes the other party's attitude, then Miami still has a "delay", if the Hong Kong government thinks that it is still not "sincere" enough, then the next "international" cooperation can only be Inter Milan.
Messi's words at the end of the video are very crucial, he said that he wants to "meet again as soon as possible" with Chinese fans, is there a turning point in the next cooperation?
