Messi's video statement to change the 'completely false' news about not playing in Hong Kong

After pre-season preparations, Inter Miami is now looking forward to the start of Major League Soccer (MLS). Inter Miami will play the first match against Real Salt Lake in MLS next Thursday at 7 am Bangladesh time. Earlier, Lionel Messi, the Argentinian star of the team, had to face controversy over the pre-season practice match.

Inter Miami toured Asia as part of pre-season preparations. They went to Hong Kong after playing two matches against Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal and Al Nasr. There Miami played a match against the Hong Kong League XI. Messi could not play in that match due to adductor muscle problem.

Hong Kong fans were upset after spending huge sums of money on tickets and not being able to watch Messi play. They chanted slogans at the gallery demanding refund from the organizers. Many high-ranking Hong Kong government officials have spoken out on the issue. Then the organizers said about Messi not playing, they were not told that the Argentine star would not play. They know this before the start of the match. Inter Miami, however, gave an explanation in this regard.

Argentina's tour of China in March saw two friendlies canceled due to Messi's absence. Argentina was scheduled to play two matches in Hangzhou and Beijing against Nigeria and Ivory Coast. But the Beijing authorities canceled the match after Hanju. Messi seems a little bored with everything. That's why he released a video statement on the 'completely false' reports surrounding his non-play in Hong Kong.
