Argentinian star Messi has detonated domestic public opinion in the past two days. Because he refused to appear during a trip to Hong Kong, China, Messi changed from the king of the world to a "street rat" overnight, becoming the target of everyone's shouting. As for the reason why Messi refused to appear, there are different opinions from the outside world. Not long ago, the famous football commentator Dong Lu also gave his own opinion. He targeted David Beckham, the owner of Inter Miami Club, and pointed out that he was the culprit that caused Messi's trip to China to turn into a farce!
Fans who follow world football should know that last summer, Messi joined the Major League Baseball team Inter Miami as a free agent, opening a new chapter in his career. The owner of this team is none other than the legendary football star Beckham. It is reported that in order to attract Messi to join, Inter Miami offered him a league-record annual salary of US$65 million. Therefore, in order to reduce the club's operating pressure, increase revenue as much as possible, and participate in some commercial competitions, it has become a choice that Inter Miami has to make.
During this offseason, Inter Miami traveled to 4 countries and played 5 games. However, among these 5 games, Messi only did not play in Hong Kong, China, which also caused the dissatisfaction of countless Chinese fans. . As for why he did not play, Messi himself gave the explanation that he felt discomfort in his groin and was worried that he would be injured after playing. However, the fans did not buy this excuse. Because just three days later, Messi appeared in Japan alive and well, without any signs of injury.
Not long ago, football commentator Dong Lu also analyzed this matter. Dong Lu believes that the main reason why Messi refused to play in China was because of the conflict with David Beckham, the owner of Inter Miami Club. In the game against Riyadh Victory a few days ago, Messi sat on the bench due to injury. Without the team's top star, Inter Miami was directly defeated by their opponents. They conceded 6 goals in the first and second half, and the game was also over. Lost suspense early.
With such a score and such a scene, Messi has no need to appear again. However, because the contract clearly stipulates that he must appear in the game, Messi was still forced to come on as a substitute in the 83rd minute, and was booed by countless fans. In the sound, a tragic defeat ushered in. Dong Lu analyzed that Messi felt that he had been insulted at this moment. The club only valued interests and did not respect his feelings at all. So in the subsequent Hong Kong Station, Messi simply no longer cared about the clubās ideas and directly refused to appear. , which also put Beckham in an embarrassing situation.
The best evidence is that after the Hong Kong leg, as the team owner, Beckham did not fly to Japan with the team, but flew directly to Qatar to watch the Asian Cup leisurely. It can be seen that there is already a lot of conflict between him and Messi. However, Dong Lu also said that Messi must pay the due price for his actions, because his willfulness has hurt countless innocent Chinese fans!
It is foreseeable that after this crisis, Messi will directly lose the huge Chinese market. It may be impossible for him to come to China to make money in the future.
