Suarez warmed up for the last 20min in the HK match so that he could play the full 90 mins in Japan☺

Right

China should be a big brother in this matter.

He no like you Chinese. He playing in Japan. He’s irrelevant and yet you make a 2 minutes segment complaining about Messi.

@@tsuitsui100 Nobody bothered about Suarez, who should feel insulted being eclipse so thoroughly by the messy dog 🐕.

He looked like when my mom would 💥me and take me to a relatives house even tho I didn’t want to go, and that like me sitting in the corner

Or maybe he was just sad he couldn't play cause of his injury or the embarassment from the previous match. It definitely doesn't mean Messi hates his fans, he was just injured. He couldn't play that's it. I still believe the fans should get a refund

​@@chillkid1465 he's a humble innocent kid but not social enough to speak all the time.

Also he never tried anything to increase his fanbase unlike other players like Ronaldo who care very much about their public image. Messi simply cares about football, his family, friends and living a normal humble life

It's not Messi's fault. He got injured and was advised to not get onto the pitch. I can imagine he wasn't smiling because he probably also felt disappointed that his absence let the fans down. This is all on the organizers.

It is not overblown. If you're in HK u will see how Messi got overwhelming criticism and abuse. Absolutely a PR disaster. Messi later explained on Chinese social media that he had a groin strain, but a groin injury cannot recover in a few days. He's lying to his fans.

It IS the daylight scam of the century.

@@nusanakeedar4515 plus grion injury definitely doesn't equate to having a sore throat :P

Definitely a scam in a proportion bigger than JPEX

President Xi never talks to me in distance even he is supposed to serve the people but I don’t hate him.

Because in Japan he’ll be treated like a human being…big lesson for HK on cultural and social awareness…something HK lacks and I can witness after living here for 12 years..sorry the truth hurts

@@jamiecook2194 may I know how HK is not treating him like a human being?

@@jamiecook2194my guy is on drugs

Cultural awareness and understanding

And the word hate from your press is disgusting

Ronaldo was also hated by the South Korean when he didn't play at all during a match there < kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9CTosJ_3bKmj6c.html >

And you think he cares 😂

Boycott Messi now!

​@@Redcliff123Boycott Messi??? 😂😂😂 hes earning millions a week

CR7 would come for free just to annoy Pessi

Because the Coldplay singer’s throat is hurt?

But the singer just feels uncomfortable at that specific concert and turns to be healthy one day after and sings in another concert.

Respect Coldplay endured Philippines traffic

@@lasing69 after receiving advertising of the concert featuring that specific singer relentlessly, anyone would be angry at having them suddenly not sing

​@@lasing69and refused to greet and act grumpy with the fans?

I don't think you should blame Messi. You really can't play when you're injured. That will affect it even more. Messi couldn't even play in saudi but was forced to. You should blame inter miami and the advertising staff more

Still I think messy and his team got a big boost after the Coca-Cola incident leading to his World Cup win Like tackle Ronaldo=nothing , poke messy=yellow card kind of stuff Coke sure did pull some strings , the enemy of an enemy is a friend kind of thing ya know? Well still bro won the World Cup with sweat deserves to be proud right

​@@supernovic99 ah yes braindead fans making excuses to justified all of messi bad attitude in the entire match, at least show some respect to his fans would be better than nothing at all.

@@lordtouchme77 I'm not saying it's entirely Messi's fault. I'm saying that people are blaming him too much. If you're calling me braindead then why didn't the guy in the video mention the injury in the video. Don't you think that it's just fair. I agree Messi should have respected them more but he did release an apology later on and I'm just saying you need to blame the advertising staff a lot more

@@supernovic99 The guy in the video did mention his injury. They acted like a snob and people got angry. It is what it is. It's not a conspiracy.

Miami international should NEVER play in China again. The West should decouple from China on everything. Then let's see how China does in the world. How's China's economy doing lately since the decoupling has started?

nope not eastern vs west... more like america vs china. they brought their hate and racism to HK.

Agreed. What the west and China think are direspectful are two different things.

not every hong konger. i bet less than 10% of hong konger idolize him 😂. my real idol is president xi jinping

I hope thats a joke ​@@doccan3848

Messi doesn't speak English. Would Hong Kong people understand if he had spoken in Spanish without a real time translator?

Hahaha cry lol. His reputation ruined and nobody will believe him again?? This happened before too and it dind affect him any way. This time too little hongkong just cant affect his reputation when he's world superstar cry haha.

Something is very unusual and strange. Messy usually has great smiles. But ever since his arrival in HK, to when he departed, Messy' did not smile at all...... but WHY?

​@@cesruhf2605wow... That's one very ignorant and racists take, also, you are so dumb that you didn't realize that Japan is the most eastern Asian country there is. But Messi played and spoke there.

I feel so sorry for you bro.

No, it's not the same.. Indonesian came to the stadium to watch the national team play against the world champions. Not for messi.

He can't prononce "petulant"😂

Only Chinese people. Everywhere else love him. Look He’s playing in Japan, a day after.

@@LanNguyen-vd4zt You seem to be missing the point. They didn't just hate Messi,they are disappointed by how this whole thing unfolded, and hate him for that. The match is advertised heavily using Messi, they paid big money to see him play, only to be ghosted just like that, even after the match Messi just leave without saying a word, no respect at all.

@@807800 and he played in Japan a day later, so what does that tell you ?

@@LanNguyen-vd4zt So, because he played in Japan, people who already paid so much to see him in Hongkong only to be ghosted like that, should just be happy?

He is the editor in chief of Hong Kong's largest English news media too.

angry little China man

I’m wondering why would an editor-in-chief came on screen to deliver a msg like this. Something seems off…Just Saying

This is what he and every editor of a paper does. It's called an opinion editorial, or OP-ED as you may know it, but in video form. He's been doing it regularly for like a decade now or more. He isn't doing it just for this, he does it for everything(usually politics).

Not really nowadays. Yonden was promising but recently he can’t resist devolving into ranting Karen instead of doing a proper analysis. SCMP editors could do some checks and balances… but maybe they just let him go on his own now by design? I don’t know. Used to like him but not anymore.

@@ericc7840👍 Dude is a Karen for the CCP. even his people in Tibet don’t accept him

Messi doesn't speak English. Do Hong Kong people understand Spanish?

@@yackawaytubethere’s no need to speak a language to get the message through. There’s something called body language and comes from the heart. If not look at past records of Maradona in China and how much love he got from the fans and how humble he was, that is a real king 👑

@@yackawaytube that's a weird excuse. that didn't stop him from making money in non Spanish speaking countries, did it?

Exactly, what Messy DID in HK was extremely devastating for people who used to love Mr. MESSY. (P.S.spelling mistake ? )

yes, cristiano and al nasr is a man, gentleman, but intermiami and messi come on how hard say something apologize, and refund fans money, this things not make them poor right?😢 i feel so bad for them

Diffrent owners. Saudis vs Beckham's typical westerner capitalistic mindest.

He do the same with juventus when visit korea, just sit on bench

@@gems_production when was that? FOUR years ago. Let s ignore What Ronaldo has done over the last 30 days and focus on the mistake he made 4 years ago? I am contrasting the actions and attitudes of Ronaldo and Messi whose matches happened over the last 30 days. Ronaldo might be arrogant back then but he is certainly not anymore compared to Messi and his team who refused to even tell the fans that he would not play until the last minute of the match. These things are normally announced before the match.

@@jackjhmc820 4 years ago, yesterday, did not make any different... both had bad attitude toward asia

Most people hate China so 🤷‍♂️

now it goes both ways

Calm down

Sorry, he bites your hands. It must be painful. Haha

dont need a disclaimer. he is an athlete of advancing age so injuries happen more often

​@@sabrevni9866 Yes and his injury somhow recovered in Japan. Somehow he can speak in Japan. Somehow he can smile.

he was not injured

@@klebenshma2881 crowd in HK was hostile, booing him and throwing stuff on the field. And yet commenters say he should have signed autographs, taken selfies. How exactly is his team going to guarantee his safety in this kind of environment. As for his injuries he rested, recuperated and it was treated so he was able to play 30 limited minutes in Japan. And he did smile both in HK and Japan

@@sabrevni9866 - the disclaimer is for the footballer's inability to play the mandatory 45 min. for the game, due to injuries - (AS PER THE CONTRACT - 45 minutes unless injured. )

Not so much with Messi, but with self-entitled pr***s who forget that their fans contribute significantly to their fame and fortune.

Messi got some beef with millions hk's fans.

@@walhdamaskus2408 he was injured bro

@@Thomas-ul6elwhat does politics have to do with a soccer game? Also he def doesnt even understand anything about chinese politics other than what the american media has fed him

@@Thomas-ul6el well hes clearly got something against china and the biggest possibility is probably something political. In the contract it stated that he would play for at least forty five minutes unless due to immediate injury. And even though the officials stated that he had an injury, they failed to say it before hand and literally waited last minute to inform the organizers that he wouldn’t be playing. And I fail to see how a groin injury prevents him from even saying a few words to the audience or offering an apology to his fans which is just the basic manners a celebrity should have.

For fans in Hong Kong, the chance to see Messi on the pitch was never about boosting tourism or the economy. It’s all about the beautiful game & a chance to see their beloved hero play on the pitch. And that dream was denied last night.” (Quoted from CNN journalist Kristie Lu Stout) “Ok. So, it is very early and I'm only catching up now. If I got this right: 0. The organizers of the event took government money to facilitate the event, fully knowing that Messi playing was key to the money being awarded as a grant. 1. Messi and Suarez were injured, but Martino never mentioned to the organizers that they wouldn't play. The game was held without warning fans that the main reason they were there was not going to feature. 2. David Beckham was booed during the award ceremony for this friendly. 3. Martino acknowledges the failure in letting folks know Messi was not going to play. 4. They play Japan's Vissel Kobe on Wednesday after embarrassing losses and a win in Hong Kong. Yup, this preseason tour is going great and leaving a “wonderful image” of MLS to the rest of the world. “Well done,” Inter Miami…” (Quoted from José Roberto Nuñez, American sports journalist who specialises in reporting the Philadelphia Union in Major Soccer League) Even the normally anti-PRC Western media has also thought both Messi and Inter Miami CF share the same blame in this incident.

Yeah, as soon as he left hk, he is fully recovered.

? What are you saying? I'm just saying that “no one” would pay to see Inter Miami if it weren't for Messi. I don’t care about your city being “influential”, in fact no one does. And I'm sure Miami wasn't a determining factor in him being there.

Boycott this boycott that.. Man I'm getting tired of seeing this word everywhere

yup, you said it perfectly. not messi's fault

Money in those pockets already.

Perhaps everyone is required to become a wolf warrior under an "improved" Hong Kong?

Can’t agree more and apparently he is doing a disservice to HK and SCMP as a credible media

Sadly, SCMP used to be an esteemed publication. Not any more.

he doesnt. he was injured, plain and simple. get over it

sports fans are basically celebrity fans anyways

No he isn't. He's nothing but a media puppet. There's a reason despite all the gold he got served on a golden plate he still is not the trend maker. Only relevant because of cristiano and that's a 100%fact

got everything to do with politics

Who cares ? What have chinese done for football?

I think he tried to make it a cultural challenge, not an economic one, i.e. why do WE, the audience, give the athletic entertainment industry so much of our hard-earned money. Maybe he wasn't as eloquent as he could have been.
