Announced during an Inter Miami friendly match once morest a selection of players from Hong Kong, Sunday February 4, Lionel Messi remained on the sidelines for the entire duration of the match.
FOOTBALL – Thousands of supporters hoped to see him until the last minute. Promised to supporters with great communication, the absence of Lionel Messi during an Inter Miami friendly match once morest a selection of players from Hong Kong, Sunday February 4, sparked an outpouring of sadness and above all of rage.
The organizer of the match, Tatler Asia, had committed to having the athlete play at least 45 minutes, the Hong Kong Minister of Sports revealed this Monday, February 5. Despite the promises, Messi remained on the bench for the duration of the friendly match won 4-1. Questioned, the CEO of Tatler Asia confirmed that Messi was under contract to enter the field, except in the event of injury. However, the captain of the world champion Argentina team officially suffers from a strained hamstring.
His package angered the 38,323 spectators who had paid a minimum of 125 dollars (115 euros) – and in many cases five times more – to see their idol in action. The songs “repay!” » and the screams crescendoed until the final whistle. And Englishman David Beckham, co-owner of the Miami club, was drowned in boos when he tried to thank the crowd.
An absence that takes on many proportions
The absence of Lionel Messi is becoming a matter of state. The Hong Kong government issued two consecutive statements on Sunday evening, saying it “extremely disappointed” and threatening to withdraw €1.9 million in public funding from Tatler Asia, a media outlet specializing in fashion, luxury goods and leisure.

Lionel Messi’s participation in this friendly match was the subject of a communication campaign in Hong Kong.
“One of the main conditions of our funding agreement with Tatler Asia was that Messi participates in the match for at least 45 minutes, subject to fitness and safety considerations”said Kevin Yeung, Hong Kong’s secretary for culture, sports and tourism, at a press conference on Monday. “Yesterday, before the start of the match, organizer Tatler Asia reaffirmed that Messi would play in the second half”he explained.
Kevin Yeung, who attended the match at the stadium with other officials including Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee, said the local government had tried to negotiate with the organizer when the 36-year-old years did not appear on the field at the start of the second half. Negotiations reached an impasse ten minutes before the end of the match, as the « solutions » such as Messi’s appearance on the pitch to interact with fans and receive the trophy were denied.
At midday on Monday, the Hong Kong Consumer Council announced that it had received nearly forty complaints regarding this meeting.
Tatler Asia was quick to speak out in a published statement, emphasizing its sorrow at not having seen the player perform. “Tatler Asia deeply regrets the disappointing ending” of what might have been a « super occasion », announced President and CEO Michel Lamunière. He added that Tatler had “decided to officially withdraw its request for government subsidy”.

Swiss Stock Market Update: Market Analysis, Trends, and Insights

Zurich (awp) – The Swiss stock market ended on a slightly positive note on Monday. After some hesitation in the morning and a low in the red, the SMI recovered and approached the symbolic bar of 11,300 points less than ten units at its highest of the day, only to lose all its momentum in the wake of Wall Street and end in sawtooth, a little above balance.
In New York, Wall Street lost ground in the morning, following records and scalded by tension on bond rates and digesting a burst of company results.
On Sunday Jerome Powell, president of the American central bank (Fed), repeated in an interview on the CBS show “60 Minutes” that a rate cut was not imminent. He reiterated that it was “unlikely” that the Fed would have enough “confidence” in falling inflation by March, the date of the next meeting, to ease monetary policy.
The last investors who still believed in a Fed rate cut next month seemed to finally abandon this position, which pushed bond yields higher. There were only 15% left on Monday to think that a reduction in the cost of money is still possible in March compared to 46% last week and another 20% on Friday, according to the measurement tool on the futures markets of CME Group.
In Switzerland, the labor market should weaken somewhat at the start of the year, but remain solid overall. The outlook is nevertheless likely to deteriorate in the areas of the hotel and catering industry and the manufacturing industry, according to KOF experts.
The SMI ended with a gain of 0.31% to 11,274.47 points, with a high of 11,295.09 and a low of 11,227.45. The SLI advanced by % to 18 points and the SPI by 0.35% to 14,727.73 points. Of the 30 star stocks, 19 gained ground, 10 lost ground and Richemont ended up in balance.
Lonza (+3.2%) precedes Alcon and Swiss Re (each +1.6%) and Nestlé (+1.5%) on the podium of the day.
The Italian Italpizza has bought the Buitoni factory in Caudry (North), implicated in the health scandal of contaminated pizzas and which Nestlé had announced would close in March 2023, we learned from the two groups. Italpizza, which plans to restart production in the fall of 2024, plans more than twelve million euros of investments by 2028 to modernize the site.
Novartis (+0.6%) also supported the index, while Roche (bearer -1.6%, good -1.5%) finished bottom, behind ABB (-1.2%).
After last week’s figures, UBS, Deutsche Bank and Stifel lowered the price target for the Roche dividend certificate and confirmed their recommendation to “neutral”, “sell” and “hold” respectively. The turnover for the 4th quarter largely met expectations, according to the analyst of the three-key bank. Operating profit for the second half, however, was 11% lower than expected.
UBS (-0.3%) lost ground on the eve of the publication of its 4th quarter results. Analysts surveyed by the AWP agency expect on average a net loss of $498 million. However, comparison with the performance of a year ago is difficult, due to the integration of Credit Suisse. Analysts will therefore be particularly interested in the process of absorption of the unhappy rival and in particular in cost and workforce reductions.
On the broader market, Mobilezone (-0.3%) once once more won the SBB call for tenders for the management of the fleet of more than 60,000 mobile telephone subscriptions of the Federal Railways and their subsidiaries.
Peach Property (+6.6%) recorded increased rental income, but suffered a significant loss in 2023. Management intends to reduce the vacancy rate and costs in the current financial year.
Zug Cantonal Bank (ZGKB, -0.8%) took advantage of the rise in interest rates in 2023. Despite an increase in expenses, the establishment was able to generate a profit described as record by management.
Reference shareholders of software solutions provider Softwareone (+9.8%) Daniel von Stockar, Beat Curti and René Gilli – who jointly hold 29% of the capital – demand the holding of an extraordinary general meeting aimed at overthrowing the board of administration. A delisting of the stock is desired by these shareholders.
The investment company Xlife Sciences (-0.2%) announced an extension of its partnership to promote life sciences in the emirate of Abu Dhabi with the arrival of the American laboratory equipment manufacturer Thermo Fischer Scientific.
