“I couldn’t be in the Hong Kong game and it’s a shame because I always want to participate, I want to be there, especially when it’s about these types of games that we travel so far and that people are so excited to see our games,” Messi told reporters.

梅西对记者说:“我不能参加香港的比赛，这很遗憾，因为我一直想参加，我想去那里，尤其是这类当我们走了这么远的路的比赛，而且人们看到我们的比赛时非常激动。”

The 36-year-old’s huge popularity has had fans clamoring to watch Inter Miami’s games during the team’s preseason tour.

这位36岁球员的超高人气让球迷们在球队季前赛期间大声要求要看迈阿密国际的比赛。

A sellout crowd of 40,000 attended the match in Hong Kong, but the occasion ended acrimoniously when fans booed, jeered and called for ticket refunds as Messi remained on the bench.

全场座无虚席的4万名观众观看了这场在香港举行的比赛，但这场比赛以尖锐的场面告终，当时球迷们喝倒彩、嘲笑并要求退票，因为梅西依然留在替补席上。

Even the Hong Kong government said it was “disappointed” that the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner wasn’t brought on during the match.

就连香港政府也表示，对这位八届金球奖得主没有在比赛中上场感到“失望”。

Miami manager Gerardo “Tata” Martino later explained that both Messi and former Barça teammate Luis Suárez had remained on the bench following advice from medical staff.

迈阿密主教练杰拉尔多·“塔塔”·马蒂诺后来解释说，梅西和前巴萨队友路易斯·Suárez在医务人员的建议下都留在了替补席上。

Inter Miami is now in Tokyo for the next leg of a preseason tour and will face Japanese side Vissel Kobe on Wednesday.

迈阿密国际现在正在东京进行季前赛的下一站，他们将在周三对阵日本球队神户胜利船。

Messi added that he could understand why people were upset that he had not participated in the match, but expressed hope that Miami could play in Hong Kong again at some point.

梅西补充说，他可以理解为什么人们对他没有参加比赛感到不高兴，但他表示希望迈阿密能在某个时候再次在香港比赛。

When asked if he would be playing in the match against Vissel Kobe, the forward said, “If I’m honest, I still don’t know if I can or not, but I feel much better and I really want to be able to do it.”

当被问及他是否会在对阵神户的比赛中上场时，这位前锋说:“说实话，我仍然不知道我是否能上场，但我感觉好多了，我真的很想上场。” CNN’s Andrew McNicol contributed reporting.

在上场前，梅西在中国社交媒体微博上发表了一份声明，再次对无法参加周日的比赛表示遗憾。

“向中国大陆和香港的粉丝们问好! 正如我在新闻发布会上所说的，前几天因为腹股沟受伤肿胀，我很痛苦，不能在香港比赛，真是太遗憾了。”帖子写到。

“任何了解我的人都知道我一直想要比赛，这就是我一直想要的，在任何比赛中尽我最大的努力。特别是在这些比赛中，当我们长途跋涉，球迷们很兴奋地看到我们健康地参加比赛。”

However, the post displayed an IP address – a Weibo requirement – suggesting it had been posted from Sichuan, China.

The statement on Weibo is a top trending topic on the Chinese social media site and has already received more than 50,000 comments, with many expressing further anger and disappointment at Messi.

该声明在微博上成为中国社交媒体网站上的热门话题，已经收到了超过5万条评论，许多人对梅西表达了更多的愤怒和失望。
