Due to absent from the All-Star Game between the MAF and the Messi, Argentine football superstar Messi was punished by the MAF and will be suspended for one game, so he will not be able to participate in the important game between Miami International and Cincinnati FC. On July 26, Jorge Mas, co-owner of Miami International, revealed in an interview that Messi was "very, very angry" about this. Jorge Maas further explained that Messi's failure to participate in the All-Star Game was the club's decision, not his personal choice.
Messi, 38, still maintains a very high competitive state in the final stages of his career. He helped Miami International to successfully advance to the top 16 in the Club World Cup. After returning to the FA League, Messi played 5 games in just 14 days and played 90 minutes in each game. During this period, Messi's performance was impressive, showing his still steely will and unparalleled football skills. However, the nature of the All-Star Game is more likely to be performing, and Miami International will face competition from the American League and the League Cup next, so Messi's decision to withdraw from the All-Star Game is also very reasonable.
However, the official U.S. Federation of CPPCC did not take these circumstances into consideration. According to relevant league regulations, players must be allowed to miss the All-Star Game, otherwise they will face a penalty of one game ban. On July 26, the US League officially announced the punishment for Messi and Alba, banning the two of them for one game. The news has sparked widespread discussion and controversy in the football circle, and many people have expressed dissatisfaction with the decision. Jorge Mas once again revealed Messi's dissatisfaction with the punishment, saying he was "very unhappy."
Mas pointed out: "This rule is really bad. Messi and Alba are not participating in the All-Star Game, which is entirely the club's decision, not their personal choice. To be honest, it is simply too harsh for such a severe ban. We believe that such rules need to be re-examined." He further said, "Messi and Alba do not have enough understanding of the punishment. It is difficult for them to understand the logic behind the decision, especially if they miss an exhibition game and are actually suspended in the official league. I sincerely believe that this rule needs to be revised urgently. Messi's mood at this moment can be described as "very annoyed", to be precise, he is very, very angry. We only hope that this matter will not have a long-term negative impact on the future."
President Garber also explained to the outside world about Messi's ban decision. He mentioned, "This is a very difficult decision. Messi's greatness needs no further explanation. He has played an irreplaceable role in the development and promotion of the American Professional League. However, rules are rules, and I hope Messi can understand and respect this decision." The suspension faced by Messi not only makes him very dissatisfied, but may also bring a greater chain reaction, especially on his contract renewal. Messi's contract with Miami International will expire in five months, and this is a critical stage in the renewal negotiations. Miami International hopes to convince Messi to renew his contract for another two years and continue to stay in this team. If Messi's attitude changes due to the punishment of the UEFA and he is unwilling to renew his contract, then not only Messi will be personally affected, but the entire UEFA and Miami International will also become victims. Therefore, it is hoped that all parties can find a reasonable solution to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
