Many fans in Hong Kong demanded refunds after they attended a soccer stadium with no Messi on the pitch. Even though Messi was injured at that time, he could not be on the field. Many fans felt cheated when they didn’t see Messi on the field. They booed and chanted refund, refund, refund. Hong Kong government asked the company that organized Messi’s tour for an explanation. There were about 40,000 people in the stadium at that time, they came to the stadium to see Messi playing on the field not sitting on the bench. To calm down the situation, Beckham addressed the hostile crowd by expressing gratitude for their welcome. The crowd drowned Beckham’s words by boos and chanting refund. According to some online sources, the medical team assessed Messi and Luis Suarez on their injuries, they decided that both stars should be on the bench for their well-being.
Even though the cost of seeing soccer stars is not cheap, fans should understand that a supersoccer star like Messi may be worth a few hundred million Dollars. Hope Hong Kong’s fans accept an apology from Beckham and the InterMiami club.
