Inter Miami, which angered Chinese fans in Hong Kong, arrived in Japan yesterday and will play a game against Vissel Kobe on February 7. Of course, the focus is still Messi. Fans are concerned about whether he will perform more passionately in Japan than in China.
And it turned out that Messi did not disappoint everyone. After getting off the plane, he smiled and waved to the fans who came to pick him up. Compared with when he was in Hong Kong, with his hands in his pockets and a black face the whole time, there was still a big contrast. .
Of course, this is nothing. This morning, Messi attended the team’s press conference. At the press conference, Messi’s chat box opened. He said: “As an individual and as a team, I am really happy. Coming to Japan, I have been to Japan many times. I hope that the last game of the pre-season trip can be a wonderful game and then go home."
also said: "I am very happy to come to Japan. I want to enjoy my time here. Travel, play a good game and make everyone happy. I want to get results and prepare for the first league game." He also talked about his old teammate Iniesta.
As for the question that fans are most concerned about whether he will play in the game, Messi's answer was very cautious. He said: "I will check my condition in the afternoon. It is better than the past few days, but I don't know if I can play. ".
Regarding his absence from the game against the Hong Kong Stars, Messi finally opened his mouth to explain. He said: "Unfortunately, I felt an adductor problem in the first game in Saudi Arabia, and then I tried to participate in the second game. game. I checked my physical condition and had an MRI which showed no injuries, but I still felt uncomfortable. There are many fans in Hong Kong, China, and I wanted to participate, but unfortunately the situation became difficult. This is part of football. Any game will It's understandable that it happened, but some people are looking forward to playing in Hong Kong, China, so I hope we can find some opportunities to play in Hong Kong, China."
Although Messi finally opened his mouth to explain the matter, but for the people who have been deeply For the deeply hurt Chinese fans, it is obviously not enough to quell their dissatisfaction. If you can explain it clearly, why wait until now? Whether it's during halftime or after the game that day, can you stand up and say something? Why do Hong Kong government officials and organizers refuse requests to express their views? Why did you even refuse to attend the award ceremony? Where is the sincerity? Where is the respect?
It is worth mentioning that according to Japanese media reports, this conference was originally scheduled to be attended by Beckham, Inter Miami coach Martino, Busquets, and Alba, but in the end it was changed to Messi alone. Press conference, this is undoubtedly more difficult for Chinese fans to accept.
In Hong Kong, he was not even willing to attend the award ceremony with his teammates. But when he got there, he was able to stand alone and attend the press conference alone. He also had a great time chatting with the media and fans. This is undoubtedly what Chinese fans love. To rub salt into the wound, isn’t this wave of double standards too obvious?
