Not a single magic card was left for Inter Miami’s game with a select team in Hong Kong.
The fact that Lionel Messi did not play in his team’s friendly match, as part of its preparation for the new MLS season, caused strong reactions from the people who were on the field.
Many of them booed Tata Martino for not putting the Argentinian star in, while some of them then spoke to the channels and asked for their money back.
The issue has also concerned the government of the country, which informed that:Regarding Messi not playing, the government, like all football fans, are extremely disappointed with the organizer’s arrangement. The organizer owes all football fans an explanation».
