Good morning, everyone! After Inter Miami’s friendly encounter in Hong Kong, I have read and heard a lot of things that have been stated about the match. In order to provide you with the truth about the story that occurred at that event, I intend to record this video.in addition, we do not want anyone to be forced to read any more misleading news.

I am always eager to compete in matches for both my club and my national team, as you are aware. I want to get out on the field and play. That I did not want to play on that particular day for political reasons and a few other reasons that are not true is something that I have heard of other people. In the course of my professional life, I would not have been to Japan or China as frequently as I did if those bogus reasons were the cause. Since the beginning of my professional life, I have maintained a friendship with China that is both very close and quite special. During my time in this country, I engaged in a variety of activities, including conducting interviews, competing, and taking part in events. Furthermore, I had previously participated in a few matches there as a player for both Barcelona and the Argentina national team.

As I mentioned in the press conference, I stated why I was unable to play the second match in Saudi Arabia because I was experiencing muscle discomfort. These were the initial feelings that I experienced after the match. at that location. Towards the end, I attempted to play for a while, but I discovered that it gave me a worse feeling if I continued to try.

 

As a result of the encouragement I received from everyone who came to observe the team’s practice session, I made an effort to practice and perform to the best of my abilities the day before the friendly event that was held in Hong Kong. When I was there, I did everything that I could. In addition, I went to the clinic, but I could not even come close to competing. I experienced a sense of unease and became aware that the circumstance might deteriorate even further if I continued to play on the field.

I felt a little better after that day, and that is why I played for a brief period of time in Japan in order to get ready for what the upcoming season has in store for me. It is imperative that I rediscover my rhythm and get back into my shape.

I’ve previously conveyed all of that, but I believe that the most essential thing at this point is to highlight it once more through the film that we are seeing today.

In addition, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to each and every person in China for whom I have and will continue to feel a special affinity. I’m hoping to catch up with everyone in the near future. Take care of yourself and I will send you a loving hug. I bid you farewell!
