SEAToday.com, Hong Kong - Lionel Messi angkat bicara setelah absen di laga persahabatan melawan Hong Kong. Bintang Inter Miami itu mengaku terpaksa absen karena cedera.
“Saya absen di pertandingan terakhir di Hong Kong karena merasa tak nyaman pada otot saya. Saya ingin bermain karena ada banyak orang yang hadir. Tetapi ini adalah bagian dari sepak bola,” kata Messi seperti dilansir Sportskeeda.
Inter Miami melawan Hong Kong pada Minggu (4/2/2024) akhir pekan lalu. Absennya Messi kabarnya membuat publik Hong Kong marah.
Pasalnya, mereka datang ke pertandingan untuk melihat bintang timnas Argentina tersebut. Sayannya, Messi justru absen di pertandingan tersebut.
