At the beginning of the year, Ronaldo's trip to Shenzhen and Messi's trip to Hong Kong, China caused a lot of controversy, Ronaldo's trip to Shenzhen did not take place due to physical reasons, and the organizers made a full refund of tickets, hotels and air tickets. Messi's trip to Hong Kong, China with Miami International was even more unfriendly to the fans, and the game went on as usual, but Messi did not appear, which made all the fans who went to watch the game very disappointed. After causing a huge controversy, the organizers of Messi's trip to Hong Kong, China also refunded the tickets, but because the game was going on normally, only half of the tickets were refunded.
Although these two things have gradually faded out, and the heat of discussion is decreasing, the damage caused by these two things to everyone is irreparable in the short term. Ronaldo's handling of this matter cannot be without problems, but at least it is better than Messi, at least he personally held a press conference to apologize and explain, while Messi was silent throughout the whole process, and it was not explained on domestic social media until later, and fans in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan may not watch it. So for Hong Kong fans, Messi's behavior hurts really deeply.
According to news from Hong Kong media, the Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, China will be officially opened in the first half of 2025, which is also an important symbol of Hong Kong football. The biggest star in this, the Hong Kong Football Association plans to invite Cristiano Ronaldo, not Messi, who has just released pigeons. The Hong Kong Football Association will invite Riyadh Victory and Cristiano Ronaldo to attend the opening of the Kai Tak Sports Park, which will be another major event in Hong Kong, China.
After the opening of the Kai Tak Sports Park, it will become the largest sports complex in Hong Kong, including football and other sports, and can host many comprehensive large-scale competitions in the future, while providing leisure and entertainment activities for the public. This time, the Hong Kong Football Association has also learned the lessons of Messi's previous failure, although Messi and Miami International have promised to come back, but Hong Kong football may not welcome them again, but choose to invite Ronaldo and Riyadh to win. Compared to Inter Miami, Riyadh Victory is stronger and has more stars, so let's hope this event can be held successfully.
Originally, when Messi traveled to Hong Kong, China, he arranged for the whole team to visit the Kai Tak Sports Park on the second day of the game, but Messi did not appear in the game, and Miami International did not visit the Kai Tak Sports Park the next day, but flew directly to Tokyo to participate in the activities of the trip to Japan. This time, Ronaldo can be regarded as having completed what Messi should have done, it seems that Messi's failure to play has caused a lot of damage to Hong Kong football, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have Messi's related activities in Hong Kong, China in the future.
