After half a month of waiting, Messi posted a video on his official Weibo on the evening of February 19th, responding to his previous absence from the trip to Hong Kong, China. It must be said that Messi’s influence is indeed very strong, and this time The topic went directly to the hot search! However, most fans are still very dissatisfied with Messi's response. The "Argentine" football king has never understood the reason for the fans' dissatisfaction.
In the video, Messi first responded to why he missed the Hong Kong game. He said that he had adductor muscle inflammation and felt the injury before the first friendly match in Saudi Arabia; because in the second warm-up match in Saudi Arabia He came on as a substitute and played for a while, which made the injury more serious. So after coming to Hong Kong, he still felt uncomfortable after training. Since playing on the court might aggravate the injury, he did not play. Obviously Messi still hasn’t figured out why the fans are angry. It’s understandable that players put their health first. What fans care about is Messi’s attitude. Throughout the Hong Kong tour, even if Messi didn’t play, even if he talked to the fans who were present after the game Interact and say hello; I believe his reputation will not sink to this. Moreover, Messi did not explain why the game left the stadium through the back door and ignored the attitude of the Hong Kong Cultural and Tourism Bureau.
At the same time, this so-called apology also caused a lot of controversy. First of all, Messi said it was an apology, but there was no apology. Moreover, this video was completely planned in advance. The trailer was released at 21:00 on the 19th, and it was only available to individuals in our country. Published on Weibo; the IP address is still Shanghai. The apology video was not synchronized on Messi's overseas account. It can be seen that this is just a question aimed at our domestic fans, rather than expressing his mistake to the world.
What is even more speechless is that after Messi released it, the number of views on this video exceeded 700,000 and more than 50,000 comments in less than 10 minutes, and many of the comments were to "whitewash" Messi; coincidentally, hiring The evidence of trolls has also been discovered by sharp-eyed netizens early. According to the exposed wx group, there are 8 groups trying to restore Messi's reputation. If there are 500 people in each group, each person will be "whitewashed" once. , then at least 4,000 comments will be generated.
For this reason, in the face of this almost insincere video, apart from these trolls, most domestic fans still think that Messi’s response is unconvincing. Indeed, Messi never realized from the beginning to the end that it was his attitude problem rather than an injury problem. If Messi directly responded to positive issues such as why he had a black face throughout the Hong Kong station and ignored fan interaction, perhaps he could truly redeem himself. In terms of reputation in our country, this incident will not continue to ferment until this point. There is no denying Messi's status in football, but after his attitude during this trip to China and his subsequent response, it must be difficult to win back the hearts of our domestic fans.
