Lionel Messi spoke about his absence in a friendly in Hong Kong: what the Argentine said after the public's anger. “I always want to play, especially when we travel so far,” the Argentine star defended himself.
The Hong Kong Government stated that he had to play at least half of the game. "Hopefully we can come back and we can play a game," said Lionel Messi at a press conference in Japan, on the eve of his team's next match.
