Dianggap Licik, Dua Bintang Leicester Banjir Emoji Ular

Dua pilar Leicester City, Jamie Vardy dan Kasper Schmeichel, menjadi objek sindiran para pengguna media sosial menyusul pemecatan Claudio Ranieri dari kursi manajer.

Ranieri resmi dicopot dari jabatannya per 23 Februari 2017. Pemecatan terjadi setelah Leicester kalah beruntun dalam lima laga liga terakhir.

Keterpurukan di Premier League menjadi salah satu alasan manajemen Leicester mendepak Ranieri. Hingga melewati pekan ke-25, klub berjulukan The Foxes terdampar di peringkat ke-18 alias zona degradasi.

Berita yang beredar di Inggris menyebutkan bahwa Vardy, Schmeichel, dan pemain-pemain senior Leicester menjadi dalang di balik pemecatan Ranieri.

Vardy dkk dikabarkan menghasut pemilik klub, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, supaya Ranieri dilengserkan dari kursi pelatih.

Isu tersebut lantas membuat penggemar Leicester geram. Mereka kompak memberikan emoji ular di postingan Instagram Schmeichel dan Twitter Vardy.

Ular sendiri kerap dipakai untuk melambangkan seseorang yang licik dan berlidah bercabang. Baik di depan, tetapi menusuk dari belakang.

 

I would like to thank Claudio for everything he's done for Leicester City Football Club, and for me personally. He deserves massive respect and huge credit for what he achieved here with us. Thanks boss.

I must have written and deleted my words to this post a stupid amount of times! I owed Claudio to find the right and appropriate words! Claudio has and always will have my complete respect! What we achieved together and as a team was the impossible! He believed in me when many didn't and for that I owe him my eternal gratitude. There is speculation I was involved in his dismissal and this is completely untrue, unfounded and is extremely hurtful! The only thing we are guilty of as a team is underachieving which we all acknowledge both in the dressing room and publicly and will do our best to rectify. I wish Claudio the very very best in whatever the future holds for him. Thank You Claudio for everything.
