Messi sent a video to respond to the failure to appear in Hong Kong, China, is it from the heart or under pressure?
Messi released a video on the evening of February 19 explaining that he did not play in the Miami International Hong Kong trip half a month ago. Messi said in the video: This video was recorded to give fans the real situation, he has always had a very close and special fate with China, and the interviews, games and activities here have left good memories. I was unable to play in Hong Kong because of adductor inflammation, and I would like to send my best wishes to all the fans in China and hope to see you again soon. So, is Messi's reason for posting this video to explain from the bottom of his heart that he failed to play in Hong Kong, China, or is it a public relations act under pressure?
Why did Messi release such a video half a month later? The friendly match between Miami International and the Hong Kong League Stars was on February 4, and Messi's failure to play after the game became the most concerned topic for fans beyond the game itself. Three days later, in the friendly match between Miami International and Japan's Kobe Victory Ship, Messi's substitute appearance once again aroused great attention from fans and public opinion. To this end, Messi explained this at the press conference of Miami International and Japan's Kobe Victory Ship and on his personal social media, and the video released this is the third time that Messi has explained and expressed his position on this matter after half a month.
Brother Bao's point of view: Messi has explained his failure to play in Hong Kong, China three times, which itself has shown the importance of Messi's attention to this matter, but whether it is the importance of the fans or the importance of the serious consequences caused by the behavior of not playing is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise. Bao Ge believes that the biggest mistake Messi made in dealing with this matter was the failure to provide accurate and effective explanations in a timely manner, and if this video could have been released on the day of the match in Hong Kong, China on February 4, the corresponding effect would have been completely different.
Some of the content in the video does not match the facts. Messi said in the video that he had adductor inflammation, which he felt before the first friendly match in Saudi Arabia (that is, the friendly match between Miami International and Riyadh Crescent in the early hours of January 30), so he was unable to play. And the fact is that Messi not only started in this game, but was only substituted in the 88th minute of the second half. Another fact is that in the 7 friendly matches of Miami International, Messi has played in 6 games, and the only game that he did not play was the game of the trip to Hong Kong, China, I believe that Messi himself is very clear about how many games he has participated in.
Brother Bao's point of view: The content of this video may not be written by Messi himself, but drafted by Messi's team and even the business party behind Messi, and then Messi himself filmed this video according to the script, which can be seen from Messi's special emphasis on China's feelings in the video.
The content of the video evades some important facts that Chinese fans are concerned about. Regarding Messi's trip to Hong Kong, China and Japan, Messi has two major behaviors that are most difficult for Chinese fans to accept, one is that he did not play in Hong Kong, China, but played in Japan, and the other is the lack of interaction with fans during his trip to Hong Kong, China, but actively participated in local activities in Japan. Regarding the first question, Messi made it clear in the video that it was due to injury, and on the second question, Messi only stated that he participated in activities in Hong Kong the day before the game, but did not explain the cold performance on the day of the game.
Brother Bao's point of view: In this regard, Brother Bao believes that there are two possibilities. First, it is difficult for Messi to explain why he is so cold to Chinese fans, so he simply does not explain; second, Messi also feels that Messi is not in a good mood because of his own injury or other reasons that day, so he is not enthusiastic enough for the fans and feels ashamed, so he does not explain much, but directly expresses his feelings for Chinese fans again in the video.
It is also worth noting that Messi's video was only released on a domestic social media, and was not released on Messi's personal global social media, in other words, Messi's video was sent to Chinese fans to see, to Chinese fans a so-called explanation, as for whether this explanation is Messi's heartfelt thoughts, or a public relations act under pressure, I believe that the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans are bright. In addition, Messi spoke in a standing position in the video, with his hands in his pockets throughout the whole process, and his expression was very calm.
Teacher Hu Xijin also said about this: Although Messi did not apologize in the video, he told the inside story in detail, and his attitude was still relatively sincere, so that the matter could be over. I wonder if everyone thinks the same way?
