Beijing time on February 7, 2024, Inter Miami lost 3-4 in a penalty shootout to the J-League team Vissel Kobe in a commercial match in Japan. But the score and final outcome of this battle are not the focus of Chinese fans. Due to the well-known Messi trip to Hong Kong incident, the focus of fans is whether Messi will play in this campaign. And just as the outside world predicted, Messi finally ignored the Chinese fans and came on as a substitute in the 60th minute of the game, making the Japanese fans happy for more than half an hour, and at the same time making the "iron fans" wash their hands of him. Bai's wish was completely dashed.
Facts have proved that the reason why Messi did not play in Hong Kong was not an injury at all, let alone being annoyed by Hong Kong fans as claimed by Messi fans. Even if Messi has a groin problem, it will not affect him from shaking hands with the Hong Kong chief executive, not to mention that Messi's MRI result itself is negative. In fact, before Messi's name appeared on Inter Miami's roster, the "King of Balls" was already destined to play in Japan.
From refusing to play and ignoring the chief executive in China to playing hard and smiling in Japan, Messi completely ignored the feelings of the Chinese fans and completely fell to the side of the Japanese fans. So, why does Messi dare to risk losing the Chinese market and resolutely stand on the opposite side of China? This can only be explained by a reason that Messi fans don't want to believe, that is, Messi is using practical actions to submit a certificate of nomination to the beautiful country. And our Hong Kong has also become the "raw material" for him to make fuss.
Perhaps some fans still remember the incident in which Lewandowski voluntarily terminated his mobile phone contract with "a certain person" four years ago. This incident is very similar in nature to the current Messi incident. After taking the unreasonable step of terminating the contract, Lewandowski also won the subsequent Golden Globe Award as he wished. The huge Chinese market has always been a battleground for military strategists. I believe everyone knows this, let alone Messi, who holds countless commercial contracts. Therefore, the reason why Messi made the decision to abandon the Chinese market must have been the promise of greater benefits.
We often say that football has nothing to do with zz, but in the real world, football is so small and insignificant in front of zz. If necessary, football is just a tool for zz. The separation between the West and China has made some people make choices, including Messi, who is deeply loved by Chinese fans. Without knowing anything about foreign celebrities, why bother trying to make them look like you like them? The whitewashing of Messi by some fans can stop here.
