Justice may be late, but it will never be absent! In 2023, the organizer of Messi's visit to China, Hongqiao Group, once again issued a statement, saying that "without Messi's strong support and active participation, it would be difficult for this match to take place." The group also stated that "Messi's friendly attitude towards China is not only reflected in his enthusiastic response to Chinese fans, but also in his willingness to contribute to the promotion of sports and cultural exchanges between China and Argentina. Originally, according to the contract, Messi only needed to play for 45 minutes."
At this moment, you should pay attention to the fact that according to their contract with Messi, he only needed to play for 45 minutes, but Messi played the whole game and even led the team around the field to thank the fans and actively interacted with them. With his actual actions, he demonstrated his high professional qualities and dedication to the spirit, bringing an unparalleled and spectacular football match to the Chinese audience. Moreover, after the game, Messi's Instagram account specially posted a message saying "Thank you to all the Chinese fans."
In fact, this is also secretly helping us promote Chinese football culture, but all of this has been destroyed by groundless rumors and smears, which have ruined our village's image and possibly the newly established football culture. Do you still remember if there was such a grand football event before Messi's visit to China?
No! It has been a long time since there was such a grand football event. However, after Messi's visit to China, more and more teams and superstars started to contact us to come here to play football. This is a good trend for football, at least it can drive the surrounding football development, which is absolutely a great benefit for Chinese football.
But still, all of this has been ruined by one person's groundless rumors and smears. However, because of their special identity, many things we can only keep in our hearts. Just a few days ago, Messi refused to attend the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in the United States, and everything was brought back into focus. Is Messi really disrespecting us? Or is this just Messi's style?
You must know what the conspiracy theory that was blown up the most in February was about. They said Messi is a person from a small country, they said the Americans are Messi's big boss behind the scenes, and Messi's performance in HK was his way of showing loyalty to them. So now the question is, why did Messi not give face to his big boss behind the scenes? He didn't even attend the award ceremony for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, not giving face to that big boss behind the scenes. And you should know that the latest news is that Messi flew back to Miami just one day after the award ceremony ended. Therefore, those conspiracy theories about showing loyalty are simply nonsense for a pure football player like Messi, who is a pure good person. Messi never gets involved in any politics, as we fans and Messi supporters all know. I believe many people know this.
Last February, a purely commercial activity and a pure football match were brought to such a height, completely driven by national sentiment, emotions, and ties. It was a naked murder. But still, because of their special identity, many informed individuals and organizations could not stand up to support Messi in the first place. Honestly speaking, it wasn't the best time to stand up and support us during that period because the fans had already lost their minds. If the organizations and authoritative institutions stood up at that time, it would only bring more negative effects.
Just at this opportune moment, the organizer of Messi's visit to China, Hongqiao Group, stood out and disclosed some well-known details again, revealing that Messi is still that good person who has never changed. Moreover, this Hongqiao Group also reposted an article titled "Messi is Called a Good Friend of China Because He Absent from the White House Presidential Medal of Freedom," so everything is self-explanatory. Messi's fans and supporters, you all know Messi's character. Messi is still that Messi, and he deserves the respect of all of us. We should admire him, love him, and protect him.
