The Argentinean "King of Balls" has released a film on his official microblogging site to explain the reason for his loss in Hong Kong. The film, which lasts 2 minutes and 20 seconds, reiterates that he was unable to play because of inflammation of the adductor muscle, saying that he had already done his best in the previous day's drills to emphasize that it was not due to any other reason.
Mays posted a message on Weibo, saying in full, "Happy Dragon Year to everyone! I would like to clarify a few things and thank you again to all those who came to Hong Kong, China to support me and my team. I really appreciate the shouts, signs and love. Give everyone a big hug!"
In the clip, Mays clarifies that all the other speculations about her not being able to perform for Miami International are not true, and that she has visited China many times before, saying that she wouldn't even go to Japan if it was for any other reason.
Mays explained that he did not play on that day because he was already feeling sick during the training in Saudi Arabia, with inflammation of his adductor muscle, which posed a high risk of injury, and he did his best by attending the training on the day before the Hong Kong game, and he did not play for a short period of time because his condition had improved after arriving at Japan.
