In a friendly match between Inter Miami and Japanese club Vissel Kobe, soccer superstar Lionel Messi is expected to take the field on Wednesday in Tokyo. This comes after a public-relations mishap during the previous match, where the Argentine captain remained on the bench for the entire game against a selection of players from the Hong Kong league, causing disappointment among fans who demanded refunds.
Teammate Luis Suarez, another renowned player on Inter Miami, also didn't participate in the previous match. However, Messi, who rarely engages with the media since joining Inter Miami in July, made an appearance at a news conference in Tokyo the day before the upcoming match. Known for his humility, Messi spoke about his current condition and expressed his desire to play.
