Messi released a video on the evening of February 19th to explain his failure to play in the Miami International Hong Kong trip half a month ago. Messi said in the video: This video was recorded to give fans the real situation. He has always had a very close and special relationship with China. He has left wonderful memories in interviews, games and activities here. I am unable to play in Hong Kong, China because of adductor myositis. I send my best wishes to all the fans in China and hope to see you again soon. So, is the reason why Messi posted this video a heartfelt explanation for his failure to play in Hong Kong, China, or is it a public relations act under pressure? We might as well analyze it from the following aspects.
Why did Messi release such a video half a month later? The friendly match between Inter Miami and the China Hong Kong League Stars was on February 4. After the game, Messi's failure to play became the topic of greatest concern to fans beyond the game itself. Three days later, in a friendly match between Inter Miami and Vissel Kobe of Japan, Messi's appearance as a substitute once again aroused great concern among fans and public opinion. To this end, Messi explained this at the press conferences of International Miami and Vissel Kobe, Japan, and on his personal social media. The video released this time is the third time that Messi has made comments on this matter after half a month. Explain and express your position.
Brother Bao’s point of view: Messi has explained his failure to play in games in Hong Kong, China, three times. This itself has shown how much Messi attaches importance to the matter, but is it the importance he attaches to the fans or the failure to play? Paying attention to serious consequences is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Brother Bao believes that the biggest mistake Messi made in dealing with this matter was the failure to provide an accurate and effective explanation in time. If this video could be released on February 4, the day after the game in Hong Kong, China, the corresponding effect would be completely different.
Some of the contents in the video are factually inconsistent. Messi said in the video that he had adductor muscle inflammation and felt it before the first friendly match in Saudi Arabia (the friendly match between Miami International and Riyadh Crescent in the early morning of January 30), so he was unable to participate in the game. The fact is that Messi not only started in this game, but was only substituted in the 88th minute of the second half. Another fact is that Messi played in 6 of the 7 friendly matches played by Inter Miami. The only game that he did not play in was the match in Hong Kong, China. I believe that Messi himself is very clear about how many games he participated in. of.
Brother Bao’s point of view: The content of the video may not have been written by Messi himself, but was drafted by Messi’s team or even the business party behind Messi, and then Messi himself filmed the video according to the script. This is because Messi specifically mentioned in the video The emphasis on feelings towards China is evident. The content of the
video avoids some important facts that Chinese fans are concerned about. Regarding Messi’s trip to Hong Kong, China and Japan, Messi has two major behaviors that are most difficult for Chinese fans to accept. One is that he played in Japan without playing in Hong Kong, China. The other is the lack of interaction with fans during the trip to Hong Kong, China. In Japan But he actively participates in local activities. Regarding the first question, Messi clearly stated in the video that it was due to injury; regarding the second question, Messi only explained that he participated in activities in Hong Kong the day before the game, but did not explain his indifferent performance on the day of the game. .
Brother Bao’s point of view: In this regard, Brother Bao thinks there are two possibilities. First, it is difficult for Messi to explain why he is so indifferent to Chinese fans, so he simply does not explain; second, Messi also feels that Messi was in a bad mood that day due to his own injuries or other reasons, so he was not enthusiastic enough towards the fans. I felt guilty, so I didn't explain much, but once again directly expressed my feelings for the Chinese fans in the video.
It is also worth noting that Messi’s video was only released on a domestic social media and was not released on Messi’s personal global social media. In other words, Messi’s video was sent to Chinese fans. Yes, give Chinese fans a so-called explanation. As for whether this explanation is from Messi's heartfelt thoughts or a public relations behavior under pressure, I believe that the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans are sharp. In addition, Messi spoke while standing in the video, with his hands in his pockets throughout, and his expression was very calm.
teacher Hu Xijin also said: Although Messi did not apologize in the video, he told the inside story in detail and his attitude was relatively sincere, allowing the matter to be over. I wonder if everyone thinks so too?
