Inter Miami's Argentinian star Lionel Messi will enter the field in the friendly match. Hong Kong football fans flocked to the ground hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite star. But disappointing everyone, Messi did not enter the field in that match. The people of the country expressed anger and disappointment about this.
But three days later, LM10 went to Japan to play a friendly match. And that's why the Hong Kong football fans are getting angry. Many people are demanding to arrest Messi under the national security law. Although Messi also apologized on social media for not playing that match. The Argentine star did not play in Hong Kong mainly because of a hamstring injury.
The 40,000-capacity stadium in Hong Kong did not have a place to hold the mole that day. Many traveled 12 hours from the mainland to see Messi. Many people watched the game by buying tickets for around 650 US dollars. As Messi was not brought to the field that day, the spectators started chanting during the game. At the end of the match, the audience was angry. 'Refund...refund' goes the slogan.
Whereas in Japan, there were 28,500 spectators in the stadium with a capacity of 69,000 spectators. But at the end of the day they are lucky. Because the Argentine star entered the field in the 60th minute of the match. After a goalless draw, Messi's Inter Miami lost the match in a tiebreaker. Although Messi did not take any shot in the penalty.
Lionel Messi apologized in Chinese and Spanish on China's social media Weibo after the match after seeing a lot of anger at not playing on the field in Hong Kong.
"Everyone who knows me knows that I always want to play," said Lionel Messi. Especially in these matches, where we travel a lot and people are excited to watch us play. Hopefully, we can come back here again and play a match in Hong Kong.
