Argentine Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi’s reluctance to interact with Hong Kong players off the field has disappointed some Hong Kong XI officials. This was reported by South China Morning Post.
Messi’s refusal to take photos together and lack of communication caused disappointment.
On February 4, Hong Kong’s star team lost in a friendly match against Inter Miami with a score of 1:4. Since Messi remained on the bench, the spectators shouted their demands from the stands during the match and asked for the refund of their tickets.
In the middle of the second half, fans started chanting “We want Messi”. After the match, Inter Miami owner David Beckham thanked the fans for their support but was booed. Approximately 38 thousand people attended the match. It is stated that the ticket for this match costs approximately 108 dollars.
