Hong Kong team players: If Messi plays, he won't shovel him!

On February 23, Beijing time, according to the South China Morning Post, Charlie Scott, a player of the Hong Kong All-Star team, recalled the previous game against Miami International.

Charlie Scott, a Manchester United academy graduate, currently plays for Kitchee Hong Kong, coming off the bench in Inter Miami's match against the Hong Kong All-Stars on 4 February, and has been feeling Messi's absence firsthand.

Scott said: "They could have told us, 'Messi will play the last 10 minutes, but he's injured. Don't shovel him too hard or go 100% against him. Let him take the ball, pass it, and run. If the fans see him playing, we'll take it. ”

He continued: "From a player's point of view, we played against Inter Miami, not Messi. But the fans spent a lot of money, and many of them went the long way to see a player, not Inter Miami. It's a shame he didn't play, or at least say a few words on the microphone. ”

Some fans booed Beckham, and Scott was very defended about the Manchester United senior: "I think he's been wrongly criticized. It's not his fault, I think it's wrong to boo him. He thanked the fans and said he loved Hong Kong and hoped to come back. He is a very nice person. In the tunnel before the game, he took a group photo with every Hong Kong player, and there were about 50 people in line. ”

Asked if he had taken a picture with Messi, Scott said: "I didn't ask Messi because he didn't look approachable. Some of the players did so, but in some of the photos he did not look at the camera and in others he did not smile. I don't want to take a picture with him if he doesn't want to be there. ”
